Three Berkshire County high school basketball teams claimed Western Massachusetts crowns on Championship Saturday.
And one area high school wrestler earned a title of his own at the Division 3 State Championships.
Six area basketball teams made it to the final game of the six divisions – three boys and three girls – where county schools are classified in Western Mass.
In Class B boys, both the Pittsfield Generals and Monument Mountain Spartans made it to the tournament finale in a rematch of last year’s final. This time around, Monument Mountain came out on top at the Boys and Girls Club.
In Class C boys, Drury reached its final only to fall to Granby in overtime on Saturday.
The county took home two girls basketball regional titles.
Class B Pittsfield edged South Hadley in a back-and-forth battle at Holyoke Community College, where the Lenox girls fell to Renaissance in Class C.
And the reigning State Champion Hoosac Valley girls added another Western Mass Class D Championship plaque to the trophy case in Cheshire.
No team titles from the D3 wrestling meet, but Taconic wrestler West Dews was victorious as one of three Berkshire County wrestlers to reach a title bout in his weight class.
Taconic's hockey team competed Saturday in the finals of the Class B Western Mass tournament, falling to Agawam.
