Jamesville leads Peekskill, 36-31, with 3:30 left in the third. Very intense, and lots of bodies flying all over the place. Whoever East Hampton plays, they'll likely be outsized, though perhaps not out-maneuvered. I'll update the score as time runs down.
The third quarter is winding down. There's 23.1 left on the clock and a clearly pumped Jamesville has quickly opened up a 17 point lead, 52-35. So far, Alshwan Hymes is lighting it up. He just scored again on a driving layup for Jamesville. End of the third: 54-35, Jamesville.
The arena is packed, by the way. It seats about 5,000 but this is the fullest I've seen it in two days.
6:17 - The game is getting out of hand, now. Jamesville leads by 19, 57-38. Also, they've got the most coordinated cheerleaders so far.
One of the Jamesville fans has a large sign: "Nick Pascale. He's 6'10." That's...informative? They don't quite beat out the Maple Grove fans, 13 of whom painted themselves (letter-by-letter, naturally), to say "Go Red Dragons!" Yup. Someone got stuck being the clearly unnecessary exclamation point.
3:45 - Jamesville (22-2) leads the undefeated Red Devils by 20, 65-45. Tomorrow's final is going to be pretty ridiculous, I think.
3:07 - Nick Pascale, he of the 6'10, just dunked the ball to make it 67-48. Though I'm not sure if it counts as a dunk if you barely have to extend your arms to reach the rim.
Oooo, that was rough. FINAL: 74-55, JAMESVILLE-DEWITT
Make no mistake about it: East Hampton has their hands full.
