2025 Section IX Boys Basketball Season
The 2025 season record preserves the six Section IX championship results and follows every champion into the NYSPHSAA tournament. This is the second completed season in KOT845’s seven-season modern basketball archive.
State result: Newburgh and Eldred were the only Section IX boys champions to win a NYSPHSAA tournament game. No Section IX boys team reached the 2025 state semifinals in Binghamton.
