Copenhagen Golden Knights Fall to Stamford in Regional Final

BREAKING NEWS: The Copenhagen Golden Knights suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the Class D girls basketball regional final, falling to Stamford with a final score of 56-46. This pivotal match took place on March 15, 2026, at the Visions Veterans Memorial Arena in Binghamton, marking the end of a memorable season for the Golden Knights.

Copenhagen, trailing 29-23 at halftime, showed resilience by narrowing the gap to just five points with under five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. However, Stamford seized control in the final moments, ensuring they would not let the lead slip away.

Despite the loss, Copenhagen’s journey to this point was anything but ordinary. The team was one of only two from Section III to qualify for the state tournament after receiving an at-large bid, a significant achievement given their 12-11 record. Earlier, they had narrowly lost to defending state champion LaFargeville, 49-45, in the sectional final.

In a twist of fate, LaFargeville, opting for a different path, faced Section X’s Chateaugay in a subregional matchup instead of Stamford, ultimately losing that game 42-37. This decision allowed Stamford to advance and challenge Copenhagen.

Looking ahead, the Golden Knights will benefit from the return of their top scorers, juniors Halle Miller and Mollie Babcock, as they gear up for the next season.

As the dust settles on this intense matchup, fans and players alike will reflect on a season filled with challenges and triumphs, and the future looks bright for Copenhagen basketball. Stay tuned for more updates and insights as the off-season unfolds.
