Friday was a banner day for Wayne-Finger Lakes boys basketball two of the top area teams headed west to compete in the I-90 Holiday Showcase in Buffalo and came home with impressive wins. Clyde-Savannah, a Class C3 school, edged Class A Buffalo East by a score of 68-67. The Newark Reds handled East Aurora 52-44. East Aurora entered the game as the 6th ranked Class B team in New York State.
Clyde-Savannah 68 at Buffalo East 67
Clyde-Savannah controlled the game through the first three quarters leading by 13 at halftime and 8 at the end of the third. Buffalo East’s Willard Anderson brought his squad back with a heroic 20 point fourth quarter. Still, C-S would lead by five with just 10 seconds left in the contest. Anderson then hit a quick three and after a timeout Clyde-Savannah’s Dru Carnevale would hit a pair of free throws with just four seconds left. On the game’s final possession, Anderson would bank in a desperation three pointer after being fouled on the shot. He would head to the free throw line and miss the game tying free throw and Buffalo East would miss an open put-back at the buzzer as the Golden Eagles survive with a one-point victory.
Dru Carnevale led the scoring for C-S with 23 points including 4 three pointers. Junior point guard Derrick Chance scored 11 points to go along with 8 rebounds and 8 assists. Try Kanaley and Jaret Murray added 10 each and Dereck Cobb scored 10 points and pulled down 5 rebounds. Murray had 6 rebounds as Clyde-Savannah improves to 6-2 on the season. Buffalo East’s Willard Anderson finished with 36 points including 8 three pointers.
