** According to the rankings...
- Jamestown got to watch its regional opponent, Aquinas, play after it lost to Greece Athena. The Lil Irish are 13-0 and the top ranked Class AA team in Section V.
- A win over the #11 team in Class A (Amherst) and a heart-breaking loss to the #2 team in Class A (Greece Athena) will get your ranked again in Class AA. Jamestown finally got back into the top 25 in Class AA this week, barely.
- Four of the top 11 Class A teams in NYS play right here in WNY.
- Greece Athena, who just beat Jamestown in a thriller, will play defending Class A Federation champ, Scotia, for the state title.
- Park (#2 in NYS Class B) will play Westhill (#1 in Class B and defending Fed champs) for this year's Class B Federation championship - something I've been predicting since December.
- Old pals, Middle College and Silver Creek will get together in the post season for a fourth straight year.
- Losing to unranked Maple Grove (Class D) had no bearing on the rankings, as Panama remained ranked #16 in Class D.
- Every team from WNY moved up in the rankings this week, except for Randolph, Tapestry, & Panama, who stayed in the same spot, and Middle College who slipped one spot.
