NYSSWA State Rankings 2023 - Week 10

 

The tenth set of state rankings for the 2023 the season have been released by the NYSSWA.  Below are the WNY teams that made the cut:

 

Class AA

Niagara Falls #10

Health Sciences #11

Jamestown #19

 

Class A

Canisius #7

Timon #12

Amherst #17

 

 

Class B

Lew-Port #9

Salamanca #11

Allegany-Limestone #21

Fredonia #29

 

Class C

Randolph #13

Frewsburg #23

 

Class D

Clymer #9

Westfield #19

 

According to the rankings...

- No changes in NYS Class AA, other than Jamestown inching up two spots to #19.  The rankings committee remains convinced that a potential semifinal between Falls and Health at Buff State is the real Class AA championship locally.

 

- Timon heads back up to Class A, where they had always competed prior to the 2020 season.  The Tigers debut there at #12, after occupying the  #3 spot in NYS Class B last week.

 

- Nichols was #18 in NYS Class B last week.  However, with the move to Class A, the Vikings were unable to crack the Class A rankings for this week, heading into a showdown against St. Francis in the Manhattan Cup Playoffs.

 

- Canisius is up to #7 in the rankings, but remains the second best Catholic school in NYS Class A, with Nazareth occupying the #1 ranking in the state with a 24-0 record.

 

- Lew-Port is now the top-ranked local squad in NYS Class B, with its highest ranking of the season at #9.

 

- Gabe Michael's magic cape was returned - a package arrived at 845 Kenmore Avenue with no signature request or return address.  However, by that point, the magic was gone and St. Joe's fell out of the Class A rankings.  However, The Gators of Allegany-Limestone, who might know a little something about said cape, moved from #26 in NYS Class B to #21 like a magic carpet ride.
