New York State Section 4 Boys High School Basketball Champions History
In the table below, aside from showing each years Section 4 winner, there are colored dots representing how far each team went in the NYPHSAA Tournament. If you know how far any team went (for example: Did they make it to the semi's, the finals, or maybe only the quarterfinals, etc.) for any year, email Section4Hoops.com and it'll be added to the table.
Thanks for any help. Also, any photos of Section 4 players, teams, etc. that you wouldn't mind having posted on this page, send them along.
