Three years removed from an 0-19 season, Buffalo Science Charter School is on its way to its first sectional basketball championship game.

The No. 4-seeded Wolverines defeated No. 8 East Aurora 48-44 on Wednesday night at Buffalo State and will play for the Class A2 boys championship against No. 10 Lackawanna at 6 p.m. on Friday.

Junior Jaleel Flowers paced Buffalo Science (16-6) with nine points and senior Adrian Handley added six points and a game-high 12 blocks. Aidan Chudy led East Aurora (8-15) with nine points. Ben Greco and Ben Zeigler added seven points each for the Blue Devils.

It was a defensive battle. Neither team was able to go on a long scoring run or maintain more than a three-point lead until the final seconds.

“Last year our goal was, ‘Get to Buffalo State,’ ” Buffalo Science coach Conor Wood said. “We know what we’re capable of, and (this time) it was not just ‘Get here’ it was, ‘Go win here.’ ”

East Aurora jumped to an early lead off of 3-pointers from Chudy and Ben Greco. The Blue Devils were limited to a perimeter attack, though, as the Wolverines consistently jammed East Aurora’s attacks at the net.

“(It was) just being aggressive, putting the pressure on. I really tried to focus on covering the paint and making sure they weren’t getting downhill as quickly by me,” Handley said of the Wolverines’ defense.

Buffalo Science held East Aurora scoreless through the first three minutes of the second quarter, with Dejheir Walker and Richard Dixon especially stout under the net. Andrew Kubiak, East Aurora’s 6-foot-5 power forward, was held to just four points in the first half.

The Blue Devils continued to rain 3-pointers but had little success in rebounding them.

East Aurora took advantage of five fouls by the Wolverines late in the second quarter to rally, tying the score at 24 on a free throw from Parker Briggs heading into halftime.

The second half opened with another East Aurora run, but Buffalo Science answered and tied the game on a steal and layup by Flowers. Turnovers plagued both teams throughout the game.

“That’s nerves. You have to expect it, but you just have to play through it,” Wood said. “They’ll go up, we’ll go up. Down the stretch, we came out. We hit free throws, we got huge rebounds on the glass on the defensive side. That’s the difference.”

The Wolverines finally pulled away in the fourth quarter as Handley scored on a layup and followed with a big block on the following Blue Devils’ possession. Walker and Handley both hit crucial free throws with less than a minute left to give Buffalo Science the win.

Lackawanna built off an 18-5 second quarter to defeat No. 3 Olean 58-38 in the later Class A2 semifinal. Junior Sammy Ikegwuonu led the Steelers with 21 points.

In the earlier Class B2 semifinal, No. 4 Wilson upset defending Class B champion No. 1 Salamanca, 63-60.

Wilson’s Shamus George notched 23 points, including the game-winning free throws, for the Lakemen (16-6). Jaxon Crouse paced Salamanca (18-4) with 20 points.

Wilson will play the winner of No. 7 Allegany-Limestone and No. 3 Eden, who squared off at 5 p.m. Thursday at Buffalo State.

Nigel’s Good Food is a North Charleston staple (with multiple locations). Folks travel far and wide for their very popular Geechie Wings. The chicken is battered, fried, and tossed in a homemade sweet-and-sour wing sauce.

The wings at the Tattooed Moose are large and saucy. Pick from Buffalo, Asian-style, Nashville hot, or habenero honey mustard.

Coast Brewing Co. is known for its stellar beers, but the kitchen menu is just as great. What sets the wings apart from all others?

North Charleston’s Holy City Brewery pairs its beers with an extensive bar food menu — including wings. The chicken is smoked and then fried. Customers can choose from nine selections of rubs and sauces, including Nashville hot, Carolina Gold barbecue, honey sambal, and more.

King BBQ co-owner Corrie Wang grew up in Buffalo, New York, so husband Shuai Wang had to put out some real-deal Buffalo wings covered in the distinctive tangy, buttery red sauce. They are only available on Sundays and pairs well with the Bills games on the television. They have also offered Sichuan wings as a special.

When Heavy’s first opened, Charleston was curious about the burgers, but word about the wings (and how good they are) quickly spread. The restaurant offers jumbo drums and flats tossed in Red Ranger sauce, the Wright sauce (a zesty honey garlic), or lemon pepper dry rub.

Home Team BBQ’s smoked chicken wings are dry-rubbed with a touch of sweetness and served with a side of Alabama white sauce. Customers looking for an extra kick can add the Death Relish for good measure. Cool it down with a frozen Gamechanger — the restaurant’s take on a painkiller.

The Royal American on Morrison Drive has a long list of cheap beer and food for guests looking to kick back. The Magic Wings are crispy and best finished with a spritz of lime, best followed by a sip of Miller High Life. The spice comes from Sichuan peppercorns.

Moe’s Crosstown, a cave of a sports bar, takes pride in its pub fare offerings, and the wings reflect, as they come freshly prepared with lots of meat on the bone. Find 15 different sauce options, including the sweet and spicy hot honey mustard and the diabolical Moe Hotter.

Stop by rollicking Vietnamese restaurant Pink Bellies for the garlic “KFC” wings. Despite the moniker, these are far superior to anything the fast food chain puts out. Chef Thai Phi covers the chicken in a sweet soy glaze and tops it with bleu cheese and pickled daikon.
