Wayne junior Logan Blankenberg tipped in an offensive rebound with 5.4 seconds remaining to give the Eagles a 52-50 lead over host Penn Yan on the season’s final night on Thursday evening. Then Penn Yan senior Desmond Battin missed an open runner in the lane as time expired to give the Wayne Eagles the outright Finger Lakes East league championship. It was a game of wild runs and included a half-court shot from Dylan Stape at the halftime buzzer. Wayne starting point guard Billy Thompson did not play due to illness. The FL East title is the first in Wayne school history.
