West Genesee Boys Lacrosse was one game away from a perfect season. Instead, the team is going home empty handed after a 15-10 loss against Section XI's Half Hollow Hills Saturday at Hobart in the Class A title game. The Red Colts scored the first four goals of the game. That snowballed into a 10-4 lead for Half Hollow Hills by halftime. Despite West Genesee's fourth quarter surge, which got them back within 5 goals, it wasn't enough to overcome the halftime deficit.
