Section V’s boys basketball sectional finals will take place on Friday and Saturday at Blue Cross Arena in downtown Rochester. One question that people wonder about the answer for is this: “When’s the last time so-and-so won a sectional title?”

We’ve got the answer to that question for all 20 sectional finalists below. Shoutout to the New York High School Basketball History website for being a great resource this time of year.
