Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2019: East Aurora wins 50th straight divisional title

   Leading off today: Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

   And then repeat a whole lot more.

   East Aurora continued one of the most amazing streaks in New York high school sports on Tuesday. The Blue Devils'





125-47 victory over Springville in boys swimming clinched their 50th consecutive ECIC division championship.

   Charlie Morris set an East Aurora record in the 100-yard butterfly.

   The streak began during the 1969-70 season under Tom Fahrenholtz, who coached East Aurora for 37 seasons beginning in 1967. Christopher Musshafen took over four seasons ago and has not lost a dual meet yet.

   Basketball fireworks: Gabriel Franklin finished with 18 points, 11 rebounds and four assists as Hunter College edged Seward Park 55-50 in PSAL boys action.

   Seward Park began the day ranked No. 1 in the state according to the New York State Sportswriters Association. (Full rankings here.)

   Christopher Ma added 13 points and Luca Wernick had 10 rebounds for Hunter College, which trailed 38-36 entering the fourth quarter.
