 ** According to the rankings…

 

–  I've spent the last few weeks making snarky comments in this space about Webster Schroeder being ranked ahead of Jamestown in Class AA.  I will no longer have to do that this year, because Webster Schroeder , ranked #18 in Class AA last week, went out in the quarterfinals to Irondequoit on Saturday night.   And Jamestown is now ranked #17.  So I was right.

 

– Aquinas will advance to Glens Falls with a 22-0 record after beating Jamestown in the regionals.

 

– Cleveland Hill will beat East tonight.  The Golden Eagles moved up five spots in Class B, from #24 to #19, for hanging on to beat CSAT.

 

– Some matchups to look forward to, according to the rankings: 

 Sherman vs. I-Prep in the Class D Final

Middle College vs. Silver Creek in the class C crossover

Amherst vs. Will South in the Class A crossover

Park vs. Westhill in the Class B Federeation Championship

Canisius vs. Kennedy Catholic for the CHSAA state championship
