(Glens Falls)

 

Stillwater used a monster run starting in the second quarter, carrying over to the second half, to win the Class B NYSPHSAA title, 59-50. Stillwater last won a state title back in 1988 with their current head coach Bruce Lilac a member of that 88' team.

The Warriors lived up to their school nickname as they struggled early, then battled back going on a 20-0 run to gain control of the game and then held off a late comeback attempt from Marcellus.
 
Stillwater trailed by seven points in the second quarter, 19-12, and then 23-17 before ending the quarter on a 16-0 run along with the first four points of the second half to gain a 37-23 advantage. The majority of that run came with star player Jaxon Mueller on the bench with early foul trouble.
 
The Warriors led 43-34 after three periods.

Marcellus refused to back down as they cut their deficit to four points, 54-50, with 1:52 left in the game after a Will Burnett three pointer from the top of the key. That bucket would be the last points they scored the rest of the contest. Stillwater went 5 of 6 from the free throw line in the last minute to close out the contest.

The Warriors placed three players in double figure scoring. Lukas Lilac led all scorers with 21 points, Kaelan Leak added 12 and Jaxon Mueller 10 points and 12 rebounds.

Marcellus was led by by Will Burnett with 15 points, Mitchell Donegan chipped in with 14.
