NYS Western Regionals to Section V
 -  Section Five teams won their games against Buffalo today and will advance to play Section Three teams on Thursday at St. John Fisher College. Geneva was an 18-10 winner over Hamburg and Penn Yan won an 14-0 shutout from East Aurora. Irondequoit used a very strong third quarter to win an 11-6 game against Orchard Park, whose four year winning streak against Section Five ended.
