Both 15A-16N advance to Empire Championship Finals

Syracuse, NY (05/11/08) - The Unity Wildcats 15 and 16 teams both advanced to the Empire State Championship Finals on Sunday afternoon with perfect 4-0 records. In the end, the shortbenched and worn down 16N, playing their third game of the day, fell to the Hudson Valley Knights. The 15A met a hot shooting Albany Capitals 15 team in the finals and also dropped their final game.

All three teams will enjoy a well-earned weekend off before they return to practice next week in anticipation of the annual Rochester Warriors May Madness Tournament.
