It would be the last game of the weekend 2-day championships from the Clinton Community College and the Section VII Basketball championships and it would feature the #1 Chazy Eagles and the #2 Boquet Valley Griffins battling for the Girls Basketball Class D title. The game would be low-scoring and tight through the first quarter as the Eagles would have a slight 9-8 lead after the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Griffiths would find their shot and start to pull away from the Eagles with an 11-5 quarter and take the 19-14 lead into the intermission. When the teams returned for the third quarter it would be a complete flip of the last quarter as the Eagles would have a 15-9 quarter giving the low by slim lead as they went to the fourth quarter at 29-28. In the fourth quarter the game would go back and forth with the lead being traded a few times through the quarter but when the final buzzer would ring the Griffiths would have a 12-9 quarter and secure the 40-37 victory and the 2024 Section VII Class D title. With the win the Boquet Valley Griffiths advance to the NYSPHSAA Class D Tournament and will have a quarterfinal game on March 9th at Clinton Community College against the winner of section II for the right to go to the state final four the following weekend at Hudson Valley Community College.
