Large Schools

1. Park (A) – Went into Bennett on Friday and knocked off Middle College by 13 points.  The Pioneers finish up their season on Wednesday night at home after adding a game to their schedule against Global Concepts.

2. Health Sciences (A2) – Finished the regular season with a 19-1 mark after three more wins last week by double figures against O'Hara, St. Francis, and Tapestry.  

3. Canisius (A) – The Crusaders earned another sweep over St. Joe's to claim the top seed for the Manhattan Cup playoffs, which do not begin for nearly two weeks.  In the meanwhile, they'll get reacquainted with the Koessler Center court at Canisius College with a game against Aquinas on Monday, before completing the regular season at Nichols on Wednesday.

4. St. Joe's (A) – The Marauders finished the regular season with a 19-5 record and the #2 seed in the Manhattan Cup playoffs.  They'll have two weeks to prepare for a semifinal battle with St. Francis, for the right to take one last swing at Canisius.

5. Niagara Falls (AA) – Picked up wins over North Tonawanda & Niagara Wheatfield last week to stay unbeaten in the Niagara Frontier League, heading into Wednesday's game with Lew-Port.

6. Lew-Port (A2) – Avenged a loss to CSAT last week, before rolling past Bishop Kearney on Saturday afternoon.  They'll look to claim a second straight league championship when they face Falls on Wednesday night.

7. Jamestown (AA) – Wins over Orchard Park and Clarence last week have guaranteed the Red Raiders at least a share of the ECIC I league championship.  They won't have to share with anyone if they knock off Orchard Park on Monday afternoon.

8. Orchard Park (AA) – It all comes down to this week for OP.  The Quakers need wins at Jamestown on Monday and against Lancaster on Wednesday for gives them a share of the league title along with the Red Raiders.  A loss in either game hands Jamestown the ECIC I crown outright.

9. Lancaster (AA) – The Legends are 15-4 on the season after earning double-digit wins over Williamsville North & Frontier last week.  They finish up the regular season at Orchard Park on Wednesday night.

10. Amherst (A2) – The Tigers earned season sweeps over Williamsville East & Sweet Home last week and can finish the regular season with a 15-5 mark and an ECIC II league title with a home win against Hamburg on Wednesday.

Small Schools

1. Randolph (C2) – The undefeated league champs of CCAA I East are one of two teams from WNY with no area losses.  They wrap up the regular season with a pair of tough nonleague tests this week against Tapestry on Tuesday and Iroquois on Friday night.

2. Middle College (C1) – The Kats are now the first team to win three consecutive Yale Cup Trophies since the 60's and did so this season without a league loss!

3. Timon (B) – The Tigers lone Class B loss on the season came at the hands of O'Hara in the rematch, but the Tigers are the only team in the MMA to knock off Canisius.

4. Cardinal O'Hara (B) – The Hawks are hitting their stride at just the right time, as evidenced by wins over Timon, St. Francis, and Middle College in the last three weeks.

5. Tapestry (C1) – The Thunderhawks picked up a pair of double figure wins last week over CSAT & Global Concepts and will look to end the regular season with a bang on Tuesday night against top small school Randolph.

6. Allegany-Limestone (B2) – The champions of CCAA I West finish the regular season on Wednesday against Wellsville before gearing up for a run at another Class B2 title.

7. Fredonia (B2) – Finished second in league play behind the Gators and picked up an impressive win over NFL large school Ken West on Saturday afternoon by 22 points.  Fredonia finish 16-4 with a win over MST Seneca this week.

8. Maritime (B2) – After coming up just two points short in a loss at Orchard Park last week, the Commodores are the team no one in Class B2 wants to have to tangle with.

9. Olean (B1) – The Huskies quietly enter the postseason with a 14-6 record after finishing third in CCAA I West.  It looks like they'll be the 7th seed in Class B1 and I doubt there's a more dangerous 7th seed in WNY this year!

10. Bennett (B1) – The Yale Cup II champions have won seven straight games entering the postseason and ended league play this year in dominating fashion.
