Sirvocea Dennis improvised a touchdown pass from a designed running play to break a 14-14 fourth quarter tie after the Northstars had rallied from a 0-14 to tie the game.

Canastota’s problem was fumblitis- 7 turnovers. General Brown couldn’t punch it in in three trips inside the Red Raider 10 yard line. Maybe defense does win championships.

Lowville was the one not expected to be here but proved their mettle, beating the supposed top two Class C teams in the section, Canastota and General Brown, by a combined 49-13. And General Brown was the #1 ranked team in the state. - Cazenovia lost one game by one point and seemed on a mission after that. When they won the state title last year, it was convenient that Chenango Forks and Maine Endwell of Section 4 were in classifications C and A respectively. This year they both moved into Class B. Forks won the Section 4 title and will be favored to end the Lakers run, something that might provide Caz with a little extra motivation. It was a decade ago but Cazenovia lost in the Class B playoffs to Forks twice in 2006-07, by a combined score of 7-15. This game figures to be as competitive, if somewhat higher scoring. - Whitesboro has been a power for years in Section III but has never been able to get much headway in the states. Is this the year they turn it around? - CBA has performed fairly well over the years but haven’t won the state title since that 2004 classic in the Dome against’ Ray Rice’s New Rochelle team. The brothers had a dynamic passing game that year with Greg Paulus getting national press throwing to Bruce Williams and Lavar Lobdell. The current Brothers have a top back and defender in Stevie Scott but I don’t think they are as dynamic as in the Paulus years. Similarly Onondaga has a very good team but I don’t really see a mike Hart or a Latavius Murray on their roster. I think you may need a special talent like that to go all the way at this level. Or maybe you can do it with defense, just like in the old days. [/QUOTE]
