Fairport vs. Corning/Painted Post score, updates from NYS basketball semifinal

[ASFN Admin]

Marv Levy, coach of the Buffalo Bills during the team's Super Bowl-run era, used to say before football games "Where else would you rather be than right here, right now?"

The answer these days from Fairport boys basketball coach Scott Fitch is nowhere else.

The Fairport Red Raiders are still practicing for and playing basketball games during an attempt to win a state championship for the time in the team's history. They are two wins away, as the Section V champions take on Corning/Painted Post this afternoon in a tournament semifinal during the final four weekend in Binghamton.

"This team is hungry," Fitch said. "Our practices are at a pretty high level."

The winner of this afternoon's final four game faces either Albany Christian Brothers Academy or Mamaroneck of Section I (Westchester County) in the state championship game, 7:45 p.m. March 21.

Below, are updates of the state tournament semifinal between Section V champion Fairport and Corning/Painted Post:
