The Lake George Warriors warm up prior to their Sectional Championship game against Waterford |
It is the second sectional championship in three years for the Lake George Warriors, now 22-1 this season.
Wincowski scored 11 of his 23 points in the first quarter as the Warriors jumped out to a 16-6 lead, an opposite of what happened Wednesday night in Watervliet when the Lake George Warriors fell 12 points back of the Hoosic Valley Indians before they came back to take command in the third quarter.
Wincowski had help all around the front court. Dylan Hubbard launched 3 threes for nine points, and Kyle Jones scored 8 points. During the fourth quarter, Wincowski on several occasions found an open Andrew McGowan in the paint, which led to McGowan scoring 12 points for the Warriors.
The Lake George Warriors hoist the Section 2 Class C Championship trophy after their 60-28 win. |
Josh Orton was also held to less than his average. The 21 point per game Fordian managed to score 15 points against the Warriors.
The game was never in doubt for the Warriors, who built a 28-10 lead at the half. Waterford came out and scored the first points of the third quarter behind loud crowd support, forcing Dave Jones to take a timeout. But off the timeout, the Warriors used their full-court power to keep Waterford at bay, and then pulled further away with a 23 point fourth quarter.
Armed with the Sectional Championship, the Lake George Warriors will travel north to SUNY Plattsburgh, where they will meet the Section 7 champion, Northern Adirondack, on Wednesday. The Bobcats claimed the Section 7 Class C title with a 59-46 win over Ticonderoga.
