The preliminary games of the Section Five Girls’ Basketball Tournament starts tonight.

The higher seed teams will get going next week. Here is a sectional preview for Classes B-C-D.

Class D

Defending Champions: Keshequa (D1) Andover Whitesville (D2)

Top Seed: C.G Finney

Contenders: Elba, Avoca-Prattsburgh, Genesee-Valley/Belfast, Batavia Notre Dame

Sleepers: Jasper-Troupsburg, Hammondsport, Lima Christian

Championship Game: March 1st

Section Five is down to one D class this season with a 15-team bracket, Last year’s D2 Champion Andover-Whitesville is the No.15 seed while D1 Champion Keshequa has moved up to Class C. This is a deep bracket with as many as eight teams in contention for the Championship.

C.G Finney (16-2) a private school located in Penfield is the top seed. They have used a balanced attack this year with almost five girls averaging double figures. They are a defensive minded team that takes pride in pressuring the ball and making their opponents work to get a shot off. They’re allowing 30 PPG and are averaging about 55 PPG they started the year slow and did not have their complete team until game No. 10. Every one of their starters have missed games due to sickness or injury. They have battled injuries in the beginning of the year and are just now starting to come together. Sophomore Guard Lucia Suarez (13.5 PPG), Senior Guard Kiara Vanderjagt (10.5 PPG), Junior Guard Allie Fredrickson (10.5 PPG) Senior Forward Marion Guillo (10.0 PPG) and 8th Grader Kiley Knittle (8.5 PPG) lead the Lady Falcons.

C.G Finney plays mostly large schools during the regular season; their only losses are to AAA Greece-Arcadia/Olympia and AA Brighton in their regular season finale. They have two victories over AAA No.1 Seed Rush-Henrietta.

“Playing the larger schools during the regular season helped us see tough competition and strong guards. We wanted to challenge ourselves against Size, shooting, and pressure and that was accomplished with playing the larger schools,” C.G Finney Coach Andy Marchand said.

Looking over the bracket Marchand thinks it’s a tough one.

“I think this bracket is brutal. There are multiple teams in this division that could make a run. We have seen every team in our Bracket and I think there are 6-8 teams that could make a run. We are just hoping that we can be one of those teams that make it to the final four,” Marchand said

No.2 Seeded Avoca-Prattsburgh (17-3) has won fourteen straight games. The Titans have a nice mix of veterans and younger players. Senior Kamryn Edwards leads the team in points (12.8 PPG) & Rebounds (10.1) while Sophomore D’Mariannah Hinson-Pike averages 7.4 PPG while 8th Grader Meyah Putnam averages 8.8 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 3.2 APG & 3.2 SPG She’s hit 28 3-Pointers shooting 44% from 3-point range. A-P is averaging 50.4 PPG while allowing their opponents to score 33.4 PPG. The Stingy Titan Defense has held Four opponents under 20 points this season and has only allowed one to score 50 or more. Edwards is a first team Steuben County All-Star and will represent Steuben County in the Ronald McDonald All-Star game. Putnam was also named a Steuben County First Team All-Star. Senior Emma Carlton (7.0 PPG, 3.2 RPG) was a second team Steuben County All-Star.

“I think we have worked hard all season and have earned the second seed.  However, we know we have some tough competition ahead of us. We are taking it one game at a time,” Avoca-Prattsburgh Coach Trista Sullivan said.

“All three of our losses came early in the season and were close games. They were great learning experiences and motivators. We settled in and adjusted our mind set to be focused on the team concept,” Sullivan added.

No.3 Elba (16-4) is a powerhouse in the Section Five Class D girls basketball scene, runner-up last year. Playing in the super tough Genesee region always has them battle tested come sectional time. Junior Sydney Reilly leads the Lady Lancers with 22.5 points, & 6.0 rebounds per game

Sophomore Lydia Ross is averaging 12.5 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds while Junior Mariah Ognibene add 8.0 points, & 9.0 rebounds per game. Losses are to Alexander and Depew from Section VI. Defeated Class B Midlakes and defending C Champion Oakfield-Alabama.

No.4 Seeded Genesee-Valley/Belfast (16-4) has lost twice to No.7 Seed J-T and twice to Class C Fillmore. Senior Mary Hamer (14.1 PPG) recently surpassed 1,000 career points. Senior Abby Sullivan add 10.5 PPG. With seven juniors and a sophomore on the roster the future is bright for first year Coach Raegan Ryan. Ryan was recently inducted into the Section Five Basketball Hall of fame for her success on the hardwood.

“I think sectionals are always wide open to be honest. You are starting essentially a new season. Everyone is 0-0. You have to show up each and every game and execute your game plan. I think it is important to have the mentality of one game at a time and not get ahead of yourself,” Genese-Valley/Belfast Coach Raegan Ryan said.

No.5 seeded Lima-Christian (12-5) has high scoring Freshman Guard Alyssa Marsh she’s averaging 21.9 PPG, 10.2 RPG & 5.9 SPG. Senior Lily Herring averages 11.5 PPG & 3.4 APG. They’ve lost twice to top seed C.G Finney and Twice to No. seven Seeded Jasper-Troupsburg. Marsh recently surpassed 1,000 career points.

No.6 Batavia Notre-Dame (14-6) is led by Freshman Forward Sofia Falleti she averages 15.7 PPG & 9.2 RPG while shooting 37% from the floor. Senior Guard Emma Sisson adds 9.9 PPG, 10.1 RPG & 4.7 APG. Play a tough schedule with losses to Class A Batavia, Class B Waterloo and league opponents Elba, Pembroke and Defending C Champion Oakfield-Alabama.

No. 7 Jasper-Troupsburg (14-6) is led by Steuben County League MVP Senior Natalie Cornell (14.9 PPG) and Senior Reagan Miles (7.2 PPG) Junior Madison Cady adds 7.5 PPG. They’ve lost to No.3 Avoca-Prattsburgh twice, defeated No.4 Genesee-Valley/Belfast twice and No.6 Lima Christian twice. Cady was named a second team Steuben County League All-Star.

“This year’s sectional bracket has a good number of quality teams in it, which has had some movement all season in the mid-range rankings. We have bounced around with our seed, but overall, I like the bracket we are in. The girls and I know that we will have to work hard for where we want to be,” Jasper-Troupsburg Coach Hailey Stratton said.

No. 8 Seeded Hammondsport (13-6) defeated No.2 A-P earlier this season, Led by Seniors Danica Dresser, Sam Pratt (12.9 PPG), Nichole Pratt (7.8 PPG) and Junior Lazelle Locey (9.1 PPG) Dresser and Sam Pratt were named a First Team Steuben County All-Stars, while Nichole Pratt and Locey were named second Team All-Stars. Junior Arielle Szathmary is one of their best and most disciplined defenders, and has been a large part of their success this season. Senior Gabby Doyle decided to play this season after not playing since their youth program and has stepped up scoring 14 points the last two games she’s started as Dresser is injured. 

“I am excited for sectionals as we are continuing to adjust without our point guard on the floor, but have seen great progress. The girls are all working hard and stepping up while still playing their own game. The team has to stay disciplined and play our game with energy and effort and we should do well,” Hammondsport Coach Megan Howell said.  

Class C2

Defending Champion: Pavilion

Top Seed: Dundee/Bradford

Contenders: Keshequa, Fillmore, Caledonia-Mumford, Alexander

Sleeper: York

Championship Game: March 1st

Last year’s Sectional Runner up Dundee/Bradford (19-1) is the top seed started the season 15-0 before losing to C1 Number two seed Bloomfield 54-47 on February 1st. Led by the dynamic Kendall Parker (19.9 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.5 steals, 4.1 assists) The Junior went over 1,000 career points earlier this season. A 13-point victory over Bloomfield was their closest game this season before the Bombers avenged the loss. They’ve won games by 70, 51, 39, 38.

No. 2 Keshequa (18-2) last year’s D1 Champion moves to Class C this season. Senior Libby Benner (13.7 PPG, 5.4 RPG) is the only Senior on the Roster for Legendary Coach Pete Piraino, Benner scored her 1,000-career point early in the season. The eight-player roster features a 7th grader, 8th grader, two Freshman, and two Sophomores. Freshman Braelyn Isaman averages 10.2 PPG, 6.9 RPG & 4.2 APG. Junior Ava Thayer averages 8.6 PPG. Losses are to Class B Dansville and York. Have big wins over Leroy, Livonia and Caledonia-Mumford twice. Piraino is currently 13th on the All-Time wins list in New York state with 579 career wins. Piraino Coached JV girls’ basketball in 1978 and started coaching Varsity in 1979. They only had half of a season back then as the girls played four seasons.  

“There are always good teams no matter what class we are in.  This year is no exception.  It’s nice to have a young team but the girls will need to keep improving.  Dundee-Bradford, Fillmore, Alexander, York, Cal-Mum, and South Seneca are all good teams. The excitement of sectionals is always a highlight,” Keshequa Coach Pet Piraino said.

No. 3 Fillmore (17-2) has been a top team in Section Five Class D for years and now makes the Move to Class C. Their only setback this season was a 37-34 loss to Letchworth. The Eagles nine player roster features six seniors, a Junior, Sophomore & 7th Grader. Seniors Hope Russell, Grace Russell, Preslee Miller and Sophomore Mattie McCumiskey. Have been the main offensive weapons this season for the Eagles.

“With proper respect to last year’s D1 bracket (Which obviously included us) This year’s C2 bracket represents as challenging of a tournament as I have been a part of.  There are some incredibly talented teams and players in this class and the path to winning a Sectional title is going to be a difficult one.  This year’s champion will have more than earned it,” Fillmore Coach Tom Parks said.

“I have had a chance to watch Keshequa, Dundee/Bradford, Cal-Mum, Alexander and York as well. All of these teams have realistic shots to win in my opinion. They all have dynamic players and great coaches. What makes all of these teams so good is their depth. Yes, each team has their star or two, but these teams can run out 7-8 players and still play at a high level. You can’t just key on one player. Everyone is contributing,” Parks added.

No. 4 Alexander (15-5) is led by Senior guards Madi Boyce (15 points, 7 rebounds per game) & Alyssa Kramer, (15 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists) The Lady Trojans from the Genesee Region have lost to Elba, Notre-Dame, Oakfield-Alabama & a non-League game to Keshequa.

Juniors Rylee Cuozzo (12.5 PPG, 9.0 RPG) and Isabel Laney (10.7 PPG, 3.0 APG) are key contributors for the Golden Knights. Senior Forward Meredith Holland averages 7.6 Rebounds per game.

Class C1

Top Seed: Gananda

Contenders: Bloomfield, Oakfield-Alabama, East-Rochester, Lyons, Byron-Bergen

This Class is loaded with contenders and strong teams. Much like last season this will be a bracket to keep an eye on. Two lower seeds could be playing in the Championship game.

Top Seed Gananda (17-3) was dealt a blow early in the season when 1,000-point Scorer and Rebounder Kaylee Marvin transferred to Wayne. However, that hasn’t slowed them down with Senior Eva Jenny is averaging 22.0 PPG and Nyah and Nicole Cruz picking up the slack. Losses to Class A Mercy and Class B Waterloo along with League Rival East-Rochester.

Junior Guard Lily Baughman leads No.2 seed Bloomfield, (18-2) The Bombers also get key contributions from Sophomore Calla McCombs. With only one Senior on their Roster Bloomfield should be strong the next few seasons. Avenged an early season loss to previously undefeated Dundee-Bradford. Heading into Sectionals on a 12-game winning streak.

The Defending Champions Oakfield-Alabama (16-4) are the No.3 Seed strong again this season. Senior Caitlyn Ryan leads the Hornets. Losses are to Wilson and Elba 43-39.

No.5 Seed Byron-Bergen (14-6) is another product of the tough Genesee Region. After a four-game losing streak, they closed the season winning their last eleven games. Losses to Oakfield-Alabama, Alexander, Elba and Batavia Notre-Dame. Junior Janessa Amesbury leads the Bees Offense. Junior Oliva Senf is a dangerous shooter from downtown. Amesbury has scored 20 or more four times with a season high of 32.

Class B

Defending Champions: (B1) Waterloo Class (B2) Hornell

Top Seed: Hornell

Contenders: Dansville, Mynderse, Leroy, Wellsville

Sleepers: Waterloo, Livonia,

Championship Game: March 2nd

Section Five merged the two B Classifications into one large 17 team bracket this season.

Hornell (17-3) is the Top seed they captured their first Sectional Championship last season before falling to Waterloo in the State Qualifier. Waterloo went on to win the Class B State Championship. Hornell has played a tough schedule this season and have come out on top most of the time. Their only losses are to Class A Aquinas and AA Powerhouse Bishop-Kearney. Victories over No.2 Seed Dansville, No.5 Seed Wellsville as well as non-League wins over Class A No.2 Seed Palmyra-Macedon and Section IV Powerhouse Waverly. Junior Lillian Hoyt (12.4), Sophomores Jordyn Dyring (16.3 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 2.9 APG) and Payton Bentley (12.9 PPG, 7.6 RPG) along with Freshman Reagan Evingham (10.5 PPG, 8.8 RPG) take turns leading the Red Raiders. Sophomore Guard Selena Maldonado averages, 8.8 PPG, 6.9 Assists per game. A very deep team who’ve scored in 90’s twice. Dyring has canned 46 3-pointers and Hoyt 65. Coming into this season Hoyt had hit 186 career 3-pointers, she now has 251. Bentley has hit 35 3-Pointers and Evingham 21 3’s.

“Of the 16 other teams in our bracket, we have played against six of them this season. Fortunately, we’ve been able to watch film on the rest of them, so our coaching staff has a pretty good idea about everyone in our bracket. There are a lot of talented teams and some great coaches in our bracket too, so it should make for some very entertaining basketball,” Hornell Coach Jim Dagon said.

“Playing a tough schedule has been great for the girls’ development this year. Going into the season I was hoping that we could get to 15 wins, and we’ve exceeded that so I’m very proud of the team. After being successful as the No.3 seed in last year’s tournament, I think we all began to find value in challenging ourselves to get better throughout the regular season by playing tough competition rather than worrying too much about our record and seeding points. Whether you win or lose, when you play really good teams it makes you better, so I feel like we’ve taken advantage of that mindset and we hope it pays off in the tournament,” Dagon added

No. 2 Dansville (17-3) fell to Hornell in the Championship game last season and are looking to avenge that loss and two regular season setbacks this season. Senior Forward Aynsley Belcher, Dansville averages 14.8 PPG, & 10.8 RPG to lead the Lady Mustangs. Besides the Hornell losses their only other loss is to AA Webster Thomas. Senior Guard Chelsie Tyler averages 11.0 PPG, 4.8 RPG & 2.0 APG and has knocked down 34 3-pointers. Senior Guard Kali Meyer averages 8.6 PPG and has also buried 34 3’s this season.

“We knew coming into the year that Sectional brackets were going to be more challenging with the realignment of classifications.  Obviously, winning a sectional title is hard any season, but with more teams and competition it becomes that much harder.  It also makes winning that much more special to the team that does. To be honest, we haven’t focused on things like that that are outside of our control.  We have set goals for ourselves and that doesn’t change just because there are more teams in our bracket.  We are just trying to improve every day, compete each night and be playing our best basketball come sectional time,” Dansville Coach Arin Belden said

“We have played Hornell twice and very familiar with them being in our division and then also playing them three times last season. They are a very talented, well-coached team. They present some challenging match-ups with their style of play, a number of players who consistently shoot the 3 well and their overall size, speed and athleticism.  Kudos to them on having a great season so far. They certainly are going to be a hard out for anyone,” Belden added.

“I’ve been keeping my eye on teams in our bracket best I can throughout the year.  So, I have scouted Mynderse a bit and we played LeRoy earlier this season, so I am somewhat familiar with those teams.  We didn’t play Wellsville this year, but we did twice last year, including in the semifinals.  We also played Waterloo very early on this season at their tip-off tournament.  I’m sure just like most teams they have improved since then, so they would be a different team now than they were in November/December.  Obviously, Waterloo has a historically strong program, is well-coached and has some dangerous shooters so you they are certainly a team to pay attention to at any seed.  However, at this point in the season it is as much about us and controlling how we play as it is about our opponents.  We know the thing about sectionals is that the regular season doesn’t really matter.  It’s just a way to seed people for the tournament.  It is a win or go home situation every night.  Just like any other single elimination tournament anybody can beat anybody on a given night and we know that.  You have to come ready to play and find ways to win, even when you might not be playing your best.  To me that is what makes sectionals great that everyone starts with a clean slate and has an opportunity to advance/knock someone off.” Belden said.  

No. 3 Mynderse (15-5) from the Finger Lakes East only has seven girls on their roster and it features Senior Madelyn (9.5 PPG, 7.7 RPG, 3.9 APG) and Sophomore Peyton Verkey (11.0 PPG, 7.5 RPG) They’re the daughters of Section Five Basketball Hall of Famer Matt Verkey who is in his second year as the Blue Devils Coach. They have lost to Class A Palmyra-Macedon twice, Class C Powerhouse Dundee-Bradford Defending Class B State Champion Waterloo and Class A Newark. Matt Verkey led Mynderse boys to the Class C State Championship in 1992. Other top players for the Lady Blue Devils are Junior Chelsea Korzeniewski (8.8 PPG, 4.3 APG) Senior Sophie Palladino (5.8 PPG, 4.6 RPG) & Senior Guard Lauren McDermott (10.5 PPG)

“Coaching my daughters has been great for the most part.  Obviously presents some challenges for all of us but for the most part has been good.  I tend to be harder on them at times then I might be with other players, but they handle it pretty well for the most part.  Maddie had started as a freshman and sophomore so when I took over, she was already pretty established as a player.  Peyton came up this year as a sophomore and has been great.  I only have seven players and they all get along well.  Sometimes it’s tough to separate the father/coach aspect of coaching.  I think Maddie has always felt some pressure to meet expectations of being my daughter.  There are times where I think coaching them does affect our relationship outside of basketball but I think they understand I’m just trying to see them reach their potential,” Matt Verkey said.

This has been somewhat of a reunion of sorts from the 1992 State Championship team as Matt started out as an assistant to Jerry Anderson, who also played with me in high school for several years. When he relocated for work and Verkey took over the varsity job. Chelsea Korseniewski’s dad Kevin is the Athletic Director and also played on the State Championship team.  Junior Eden Prayne’s father Pat Prayne played on the championship team.  He is the Varsity Boys Coach.

Verkey won a state championship as a player and would love to do it as a coach, especially with his daughters.

“It would be amazing to accomplish that as a coach with my daughters and the rest of these girls.  I have coached this group since they were 7/8 years old and we are all pretty close.  Obviously, our main goal is trying to win a sectional title, which will be a tall task in Class B this year.  We talk a lot about getting our names on the wall with a sectional banner.,” Verkey said.

 “I have seen several of the teams in our bracket play.  Hornell is ranked No. 1 in the State and has defeated a very good Dansville team twice.  Hornell and Dansville have to be the favorites coming in.  With only one B bracket this year, the competition will be tough.  We could face a very good Waterloo team in the quarters.  Waterloo is very young but when they are hitting threes, they are tough to beat. LeRoy is 16-4, Livonia is always tough as well,” Verkey Added

“My team this year has really battled all year despite our low numbers.  We have seven players and have dealt with different injuries all year.  We are not very big, but come to play every night.  I really couldn’t ask much more out of this group.  They are fun to coach,” Verkey concluded.

No. 4 Leroy (15-5) has had a great season, their losses are to Class AA Spencerport, Dansville, Livonia and Keshequa. Senior Lindsey Steffenilla (2.1 APG, 13 3’s), Senior Abby Allen (10.2 PPG, 4.5 APG) and Senior Corina “Goose” Dunn (8.3 RPG) have led the Oatkan Knights this season. Allen has hit 16 3-pointers. In a recent victory over Geneseo, Steffenilla led three in double figures, and Le Roy pulled away from a five-point game after three quarters to win its seventh straight. Steffenilla finished with 20 points, three rebounds, two blocks an assist and a steal. Allen had 15 points and five assists in the win. Goose Dunn added 10 points, nine rebounds and four assists. 

No. 5 Wellsville (12-7) has been led by Natalie Adams (13.3 PPG), Makenna Dunbar (11.5 PPG, 7.6 RPG), and Averee Palmatier (9.1 PPG, 5.4 RPG), who are all juniors. 

Losses are to AAA Rush Henrietta twice, Class A Newark, Pioneer, Hornell twice and Gananda.

“I think it is a difficult bracket from top to bottom.  A lot of young teams but they all have sectional experience. Hornell and Dansville were in the finals last season.  Livonia, Waterloo, and Mynderse no strangers to sectional finals over the past few years,” Wellsville Coach Michelle Alvord said.

“I would prefer two brackets Obviously I feel we would have been at the top of that bracket and liked our chances better at a title. In order to be the best you have to beat the best.  Seedings ultimately don’t matter, everyone starts 0-0. We take it one game at a time and hopefully can make a run,” Alvord said.

No. 7 Waterloo (12-8) won the NYSPHSAA and Federation Class B champions last season and finished 28-1 in 2022-23 as part of a 68-2 record over the three previous seasons. This seasons Waterloo roster includes four ninth-graders, two sophomores and a junior without any seniors, they lost three of five games at one point. But Sophomore Addison Bree returned from injury mid-season after missing the first month of the season with a dislocated knee cap sidelined her for the first month of the season. Bree is the leading returning scorer from last season with 11.6 PPG. Freshman Guard Gwyneth Panek is a scorer and deadly outside shooter. She scored 25 in a victory over Gananda. During that 60-53 Victory over Gananda Waterloo hit eleven 3-pointers, with Bree hitting 5 and Panek 4. Losses to Dansville, Class A Wayne & Newark, Eastridge, Pal-Mac and Mynderse. With a Healthy Addison Bree nobody will want to see Waterloo on their side of the bracket.

The No. 8 Seeded Livonia (12-8) Lady Bulldogs have been led this season by Mary & Elizabeth Kwak. Losses to Hornell twice, Keshequa, Eastridge, Mercy, Dansville and East High. Victories over Cal-Mum, LeRoy and York. With future Hall of Famer Karen Schuster at the helm, The Lady Bulldogs could play Bracket Buster. Mary Kwak averages 13.8 PPG and 6.9 RPG, Elizabeth averages 13.1 PPG and has hit 31 3-pointers. Schuster has won 468 games.
