History must wait for Warriors

ROME - Every once in awhile, there's a team that sticks out in a school's history. It might not be a team that wins a title, but a memorable team that had every capability to do so.

Without a championship banner to hang for 29 years, the 2007-08 Weedsport girls basketball team was ready. The team went 7-1 at home during the regular season, earning the second seed in the playoffs and jumped all the way to the Section III, Class C-2 finals.

But one of the best defenses in the section couldn't muster up points in crucial spots and fell to top-seeded Beaver River, 40-37 at Rome Free Academy on Thursday.
