— TROY -- The Chateaugay boys' basketball team punched its ticket to the NYSPHSAA Class D Final Four Saturday with a solid 62-41 win over Northville in regional championship play at Hudson Valley Community College.
Northville, coming off Friday's 46-40 win over Section VII champion Westport, was no match for the Section X winners.
The Bulldogs (23-1 overall) held a slim 12-10 lead after one, but expanded it to 27-15 at the half and 38-23 after three.
Drew Boyea poured in a game-high 22 points for Chateaugay, while Brad Dumont and Jordan Rankin finished with 14 points each. Zack Peck added eight.
The Bulldogs' defense was as strong as usual, holding Northville, which relies on its three-point shooting, to just one hoop from beyond the arc.
Ryan VanNostrand tossed in 15 points for the Section II champions, while Jordan Williams followed with 11 and Mike VanNostrand, 10.
Chateaugay will play Section XI's Greenport in Friday's Final Four semifinals.
Malone postponed
Saturday's scheduled Class A girls' basketball regional championship game between Indian River and Malone's Franklin Academy, was postponed because of the inclement weather.
It will be played instead on Monday night at 6 p.m. at Jefferson Community College.
The Plattsburgh High School boys will battle Section X power Ogdensburg Free Academy in a Class B regional championship game at 3 p.m. at Potsdam State's Maxcy Hall.
