Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1982165, member: 289"] THE FINALS The state finals were exactly what you’d want them to be: close, memorable exciting games that brought great credit to both teams. CLASS AA Section 2’s Troy stopped a two point conversation attempt by Section 5’s Victor to hold onto a 21-20 win for their third state title. #1 ranked Victor was trying to win it’s first. Troy has a team nickname worthy of a state championship: “The Flying Horses” [URL='http://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/2016/11/26/victor-falls-short-class-aa-football-final/94293162/']Victor loses 21-20 to Troy in state football final[/URL] CLASS A In a game that featured long plays, Section 1’s Somers won their first ever state title and denied Section 5’s Greece-Athena theirs, 25-17. The game featured a 91 yard kick-oif return, a 40 yard punt return, a 45 yard pass play and a 33 yard run, all for scores.

Forks scored with 37 seconds left to make it 39-40. A two point conversion failed and an onside kick was returned for a score for the final margin.

Besides being an exciting contest, the game was notable for the fact that both teams wore white jerseys: [URL="http://www.wgrz.com/sports/high-school/cambridge-22-maple-grove-21-double-ot/355973659"]Cambridge 22 Maple Grove 21 Double OT[/URL] The final lines for the state championships: CLASS AA Section 2- Troy 13-0 (459-153) NYSSWA #2 MaxPreps 1/216 States: 17-5 with 3 titles CLASS A Section 1- Somers 12-1 (475-198) NYSSWA #4 MaxPreps 5/589 States: 3-3 with 1 titles CLASS B Section 2- Glens Falls 13-0 (593-186) NYSSWA #2 MaxPreps 2/261 States: 6-2 with 1 title CLASS C Section 4- Newark Valley 13-0 (557-131) NYSSWA #1 MaxPreps 17/1482 States: 3-0 with 1 title CLASS D Section 2- Cambridge 13-0 (684-108) NYSSWA #2 MaxPreps 18/1587 States: 18-12 with 2 titles (The NYS sportswriters don't have a post championship poll so those are their pre-championship rankings.)
