SEMI-FINALS
CLASS AA
Henninger really rode the roller-coaster. They were behind to Liverpool at halftime of the sectional finals, 6-7 and won the second half 38-0 for a 44-7 final over a team that had been 9-0. Then they exploded to a 52-0 halftime lead against Corning-Painted Post in the first round of the states. CPP had been 9-1. That’s 90-0 over four quarters over teams with a combined record of 18-1. The Black Knights looked as if they might be on their way to Section 3’s first state championship. But they took the second half off against Corning, winning 52-16, which seemed fine.
But then, in the words of Coach Dave Kline, “We just didn’t get off the bus.” Jamestown, the section 6 champions took the opening kick-off and drove 69 yards in six plays to score. Henninger’s powerful running game was stuffed and two three and outs were followed by two more scoring drives by the Raiders. A second quarter fumble led to another score and the Black Knights were down 0-28 at halftime, which meant that they’d followed the 90-0 run with a 0-44 run. “We didn’t make a ton of adjustments at the half. WE just woke up and played. Our kids could have stayed in the locker room at halftime- we could have gotten beat by 50- but they showed the heart and character they have.” But it was too little, too late. The final was Jamestown 28 Henninger 12. Devan Jackson scored twice for Jamestown and nick Holland threw and ran for a touchdown.
The Raiders may have simply been better than Henninger. They were certainly better than Liverpool and Corning. They’ve won 3 state titles and their Section has dominated the west the last several years. But the game seemed like a classic example of how, in sports, you can’t turn it off and just turn it on again.
On the other side of the draw, Newburgh Free Academy of Section 9 upset Section 2’s Shenendehowa, 20-19, thus eliminating the last undefeated team in the Class AA playoffs. “The Plainsmen never saw its passing game reach its normal electric level, short-circuited by a tough Goldbacks defense and came up big when defensive end Oliver Janvier sacked quarterback Ryan VanGalen on a two-point conversion in overtime.” That’s from this article which also ahs a video of the dramatic ending:
http://www.cnweekly.com/articles/2014/11/23/sports/doc54718dfa38342030515273.txt
Shenendehowa elected to go for two to win- or lose- it right there and they lost. “It’s been a dream season,” Coach Brian Clawson said. “It just really hurts to know that it ended here.”Aaron Forbes rushed for 143 yards on 25 carries for Newburgh, including the 20 yard run in overtime that gave the winners a 20-13 lead.
The Finals match-up:
Saturday 11/29 6Pm Carrier Dome
Section 6- JAMESTOWN 11-1 (416-123, #3 NYSSWA #3/280 MaxPreps, 3 titles)
Section 9- NEWBURGH FREE ACADEMY 10-2 (414-206, #5 NYSSWA #8/554 MaxPreps, 0 titles)
Comment: Jamestown, on the surface, seems like the superior team but that didn’t mean much in the semi-finals. It’s not just how good you are but how well you play, especially “getting off the bus”.
CLASS A
Indian River became the first Section 3 team since 2010 to make it to a state final with a dominating performance against Irondequoit of Section 5. They gained 590 yards, 496 on the ground, running away to a 49-22 win after a 22-15 first half. Quarterback Densel Barnes rushed for 3 scores. Fullback Dustin Sharritt added 123 yards and two more scores. Tailback Romel Washington gained 135 yards on only 9 carries. This wil l e Indian River’s first trip to a state final. They used to be a Secition 10 team and lost 5 times in the quarter-finals vs. Section 2 teams and once in the semi’s- to Cornwall.
Defending state champions Section 2’s Queensbury made five fourth and short conversions, the last at midfield with 90 second left to hold on to beat Cornwall of Section 9 in a battle of undefeated powerhouses, 28-21 and return to the state finals. The Spartans, who beat the Dragon’s 36-27 in last year’s semi-finals, have won 25 in a row and will be the favorite to repeat in the Carrier Dome this week. No section 2 team has ever done that. The Spartans completed only one pass in their victory so the Indian River game will be a battle of overhwelming ground games. Quarterback Tyrell Adams rushed for 1876 yards and two scores and completed that one pass for 33 yards to set up another. Erik Wettersten converted on all five fourth down runs.
The Finals match-up:
Sunday, 11/30 3PM Carrier Dome
Section 2- QUEENSBURY 12-0 (506-97 #1 NYSSWA, #11/739 MaxPreps 1 title) vs.
Section 3- INDIAN RIVER 12-0 (475-164, #3 NYSSWA, #16/1122 MaxPreps 2 titles in this section plus 6 in Section 10)
Comment: both teams are similar but Queensbury is probably better. But if they aren't, Section 3 will have it's first state champion in 7 years. (West Genessee and Bishop Ludden in 2007)
.CLASS B
Maine-Endwell of Section 4 won its 50th straight game, (the country’s sixth-longest winning steak), cruising over Section 6’s Cheektowaga 54-28 after a wild 48-20 first half. It was a game of huge plays. The Spartans had 6 touchdown runs of 39 yards or more. “Quarterback Kyle Balmer rushed 13 times for 199 yards and three scores, and Adam Gallagher added two TDs in a 127-yard rushing effort.” (Press and Sun-Bulletin). The Warriors were stuck in their homes during the snowstorm and had limited opportunities to prepare for the ME juggernaut but threw a bit of a scare into them with a 20 point second quarter. They just couldn’t stop them. One more win and the Spartans will tie Section 5’s Hornell’s 51 game winning streak of a couple years ago, which ended in the Dome in their attempt to win the Class C title from Hoosick Falls. That’s the all-time New York State winning streak, although Massena had a 55 game unbeaten streak back in the 50s:

Section 2’s Schalmont continued their rampage to a second straight confrontation with Maine-Endwell in the championship, downing Marlboro of Section 9, 49-14. “Schalmont amassed 211 yards on its first 26 plays to race out to a 28-0 lead” but “The Iron Dukes (9-3) responded with two touchdowns of their own. But Marlboro's luck soon ran out. On the ensuring kickoff, senior captain Devin Higgins raced 98 yards for the backbreaking score…. Hunter Gac led the way with 130 rushing yards and one touchdown for the Sabres.” (Times-Uinon.com).
That might seem like a disastrous game for Marlboro but it was a considerable improvement from last season when they lost 0-66 to Schalmont, after falling behind 0-60 at halftime. But Schalmont tends to do that to its opposition. They’ve won games this year by the scores as high as 88-0. Their confrontation with Maine-Endwell will be a battle of one team that had won 50 games and 3 state titles in a row and a team averaging almost 60 points a game. They played last year in the finals. and ME almost got blown out early but came back to win, 22-21.
Fun fact: Schalmont isn’t named after some long-dead French explorer or general, as you might expect. It’s short for Schenectady-Albany-Montgomery County.
The Finals match-up:
Sunday, 11/30 at Noon in the Carrier Dome
Section 2- SCHALMONT 12-0 (708-89, #2 NYSSWA, #5/499 MaxPreps, no titles) vs.
Section 4- MAINE-ENDWELL 12-0 (428-106, #1 NYSSWA, #4/288 MaxPreps, 4 titles)
Comment: Maine Endwell has not been as dominant this season as they were last season, (when they outs-cored 13 foes 591-156), although they might actually be a little better on defense. “Schalmont has reached the Carrier Dome three times in the past five seasons and compiled a 66-6 record (.917). One thing this decorated program hasn't accomplished is winning a state title. "Third time's the charm," Gallo said.” I think it might be.
CLASS C
Defending state champion Chenango Forks of Section 4 looked primed to repeat in shutting out Section 6’s Maple Grove-Chautaugua Lake 27-0. Maple Grove, a two time state champion in Class D who had combined with Chautauqua Lake two years ago had given up only 37 points all season, including an impressive 32-0 quarterfinal win over Section 5’s Le Roy. But they got the tables turned on them by the Blue Devils. Forks scored twice in their first five plays. LJ Watson went 61 yards on the fourth play from scrimmage and then “Hunter Luybli intercepted a pass and returned 41 yards to the Thunder-Dragons' 25-yard line. On the next snap, quarterback Jack Sherwood sent a short pass to his left that Ryan Bronson received at the 20-yard line and took the distance through traffic for a score.” (Press and Sun Bulletin). The closest MG-CL came to paydirt was Fork’s 28 yard line, where a 4th and one try failed. A failed fake punt set up a third score and the clincher came from “Dylan Studer who, on a first-and-10 play from the Devils' 23-yard line, secured the football at his 18-yard line and zoomed 82 yards along the sideline for a score with 6:25 to play that wiped away what tiny hope remained for a Maple Grove/Chautauqua Lake comeback.” The Thunder Dragons had come in averaging just short of 40 points per game. “Running back Ryan Miller, who'd gone for 2,163 yards and 32 TDs against opponents from schools other than Chenango Forks, logged 103 on 28 carries before leaving with an injury on the last play of the third quarter.”
Hoosick Falls, the team that ended Hornell’s run in the state finals two years ago is back to take on Chenango Forks. They also got here on a shut-out, 29-0. They also limited a top running back, Millbrook’s Michael DoCarmo, who had gained, per the Times-Union, 329 yards and scored 7 touchdowns against Woodlands last week in the quarter-finals. The article I read last week about that game said he’s gained 336 yards and four touchdowns: since Millbrook won that game 42-23, I think I’ll go with that. At any rate, Hoosick Falls limited DoCarmo to 104 yards on 28 carries. “The Panthers smashed through the Blazers' offensive line to blow up virtually every running play Millbrook attempted.” They also forced four turnovers. Millbrook gained only 124 yards on 51 plays. “Hoosick Falls coach Ron Jones said. "They were bigger than us, but most teams are, and these guys pride themselves on their toughness. "Austin Pitt ran for 147 yards and a score for Hoosick Falls.
The Finals match-up:
Saturday 11/29 3PM at the Carrier Dome
Section 2- HOOSICK FALLS 12-0 (470-99, #2 NYSSWA #23/1535 MaxPreps, 1 title) vs.
Section 4- CHENANGO FORKS 11-1 (447-104, #1 NYSSWA, #6/530 MaxPreps, 3 titles)
Comment: Cheango Fork’s one loss was to Maine-Endwell, so you can basically discount it. The Blue Demons have the most wins in the history of the State tournament with 22, and have played in the most championship games (8), but they’ve won only three of those championship games and Hoosick Falls has a pretty strong resume of its own, having gone 36-1 the last three season and 68-4 since 2009 with that 2012 state title. It should be a good one and an old fashioned one with defense dominating for both teams. .
CLASS D
Section 6’s Randolph beat Section 4’s Tioga in the state semi-finals for the third straight year, (and Tioga’s first loss at that level), 20-8, (the previous games had been 7-6 and 35-6). Now Randolph goes for its third straight title. Tioga Coach nick Aiello: “The program they’ve put together is similar to our program. Right now they’re at the next level,” Aiello said. “They’re able to win state championship and get over this hump.” The defensive battle was only 6-2 after three quarters when turnovers decided the issue. After the Tigers fumbled deep in their own territory, Cardinal quarterback Bryce Morrison ran it over from the 3. Then Morrison intercepted a rare Tioga pass and ran 55 yards for another score.
Randolph beat Section 1’s Tuckahoe for the 2012 title, 28-7. Last year they beat Section 9’s Chester, 42-13. Chester beat Tuckahoe 36-21 and then Section 2’s Cambridge-Salem, 47-14 to get a rematch. They’re on a roll, (they’ve won 10 straight after an 0-2 start), but they’ll need to be to beat Randolph. Cambridge gifted the “Hambeltonians” with three turnovers off the bat and fell behind 0-20. Chester is the rare NYS High School team with a passing game. Quarterback Vinny Aloi had 31TD passes during the season. But his arm wasn’t needed in this game. Angel Suarez “scored on touchdown runs covering 15, 3, 34, 76 and 29 yards running behind a massive offensive line. He rushed for 401 yards and 5TDs after getting 307 yards and 5TDs against Tuckahoe. So this is a very potent team. But can they beat Randolph?
The Finals match-up:
Saturday 11/29 Noon in the Carrier Dome
Section 9- CHESTER 10-2 (536-161, #2 NYSSSWA, #96/4176 MaxPreps, no titles) vs.
Section 6- RANDOLPH 10-1 (411-106, #1 NYSSWA, #14/1005 MaxPreps, 4 titles)
Comment: Both teams have won 10 in a row. They got their losses out of the way first but one of them is about to have another. Randolph was to Maple Grove-Chautauqua Lake from Class C so they are unbeaten on this level. And Chester was no match for them the last time.
Overall: Section 2 put three teams in the finals, Sections 4, 6, and 9 two each and Section 3 one team. There are two 2-4 matches and two 6-9 matches. Whatever happens to indian River, this was section Three’s best performance since 2010 when Baldwinsville and Whitesboro made the semi-finals and General Brown the finals.
