Legendary Batavia coach tops Section V Best
Buddy Brasky coached his 500th win last Friday, becoming the 6th boys basketball coach in Section Five to reach that mark. He did it with Casey Mazur scoring 20 points. Casey's dad Brad played for Brasky when he won his first game for the Blue Devils.
That's only one high school story of note from this week. Athletes from Aquinas, Finney, Irondequoit and Wheatland-Chili are also making noise. All part of this week's Section Five Best.
