Liverpool Knocks Off C-NS in OT, Books AAA Final Showdown with Bishop Ludden-Grimes
Published on Thursday, 5 March 2026 at 4:41 pm
Liverpool’s boys basketball team is heading back to the Section III Class AAA championship game after a dramatic 57-54 overtime victory over Cicero-North Syracuse in Wednesday’s sectional semifinal. The Warriors will face defending champion Bishop Ludden-Grimes in a rematch of last year’s final.
The night’s defining moment came at the regulation buzzer, when Liverpool senior guard Alex Trombley launched an off-balance three-pointer that found the net, forcing overtime and igniting the home crowd. Trombley’s only detail-released shot erased a late Northstars lead and provided the momentum the Warriors carried through the extra period.
Liverpool outscored C-NS 9-6 in overtime to seal the win and set up a title-game rubber match against Bishop Ludden-Grimes, the only side to beat Liverpool during the regular campaign.
