CLASS A:  Canandaigua 18 - Irondequoit 5

  With a score that no one would have predicted, Canandaigua defeated Irondequoit in running time (18-5) to claim the Section V Class A Championship.
  
Leading the charge for the Braves were Marshall Johnson, who was named Class A Tournament MVP, and Scott Bement, who was named Section V Defensive Player of the Year. Additionally, the entire attack (Connor Henderson, Brian Scheetz and Justin Tomzak) demonstrated why the Braves are still one of the only undefeated teams in New York State (22-0).
  
Scheetz finished with 4g-3a, Tomzak with 3g-1a and Henderson with 2g-3a. Scheetz and Tomzak joined Austin Rogers, Evan Roth and Ben Knapton to round out the selections to All-Tournament team from Canandaigua (making a total of seven Braves on the list). From Irondequoit, Drew Coholan and Mike Wallenhorst were selected. Nick Scalzo, RL Thomas, and Kyle Denhoff, Penfield, were also selected to round out the 10 player (and MVP) team.
  
One additional honor earned by the Braves was Section V Sportsman of the Year, which was awarded to senior midfielder Andrew Knoblauch.
  
The first quarter did not demonstrate how the game was going to end. Tomzak scored the first goal from a broken clear and a pass from Scheetz. Irondequoit scored the next two goals with straight drives from Greg Coholan and Drew Coholan. This was the only time that the Eagles led the game and it only lasted for 0:40 seconds. Canandaigua's Rogers scored the following goal with a straight drive from midfield to tie the score at 2-2. The quarter ended with the score tied.
  
Canandaigua scored the only eight goals of the second quarter (for a total of ten unanswered goals). Scoring came from Rogers (2), Nick Munn (1), Tomzak (1), Scheetz (1), Henderson (1), Gannon Osborn (1) and Tom LaCrosse (1). The depth of Braves' bench evident with the large variety of athletes' scoring points. Overall, eight different Braves' made the stat book. Although each of these players scored, the major driving force behind the run (and the victory) was Marshall Johnson who won nine straight face-off's in the second quarter (every one).
  
Johnson also won 13/14 in the first half, with his only loss the result of a technical push (from a wing man). Johnson finished the game 21/26 with 18 ground balls and was a major factor in the victory.
  
Starting the third quarter, the Braves led 10-2. The Eagles moved long-stick Ian Nash to the draw (which caused Johnson to lose four of his five total losses in a row). However, Johnson learned to defeat Nash and won out the rest of his face-off's in the game. In the third quarter the Braves only won by one goal (3-2) with the Eagles scoring the second and third goals of the quarter in a brief attempt at a comeback. Greg Wright and Tony Micelotta added goals for the Eagles. However, with 1:41 and 0:26 remaining the Braves added two more (Scheetz and LaCrosse).
  
Canandaigua continued the domination in the fourth quarter winning 5-1 and putting the "nail in the coffin" as they moved to running time with 3:40 remaining in the game. The Eagles scored one last goal as Micelotta drove from X and put the ball over Bement. Bement finished the game with 13s/5ga (72%) on 46 minutes. Both teams put in their back-up goalies with 1:44 remaining (but neither saw a shot on cage). Tyler Nash finished with a disappointing 7s/18ga (28%) for Irondequoit.
  
There were only two penalties in the game; a "too many men" and one slash. Neither team scored on EMO.
  
Also an important element was the loss of Irondequoit's key senior defenseman Sean Davern who suffered a knee injury in the game. Although he tried to return, the knee quickly buckled and he was unable to continue.
  
Overall, the Braves were dominant on most fronts. The second quarter was were the difference was made. Looking at the Irondequoit players it was obvious that they were becoming demoralized watching Johnson constantly win and giving Canandaigua the ball. The Eagles only had one shot in the entire second quarter (a save by Bement on a shot from Coholan). Overall the Eagles couldn't control the ball and the Braves just kept scoring and re-taking possession.
  
On Tuesday, the Braves will face Orchard Park who defeat Niagara Wheatfield 15-13 in the Section VI Championship tonight. The Braves defeated Orchard Park earlier in the season, but the game will not be an easy one and the Braves will have to keep their focus if they want to extend there undefeated season.
  
Scoring for Canandaigua were Scheetz (4g-3a), Rogers (5g), Henderson (2g-3a), Tomzak (3g-1a), LaCrosse (2g), Munn (1g), Osborn (1g) and Johnson (1a).

CLASS B:  Geneva 14 - Aquinas 13

  With sheer determination and scoring four goals in the last 1:16 of the game, Geneva overcame a three goal deficit to successfully defend their Section Five Class B Championship, beating Aquinas 14-13 at St. John Fisher College.
  
Geneva's Alex Love, current leading points scorer in Section V, and Jim Warner, Class C All-Tournament MVP, were the cornerstones for Geneva on their way to the Championship. Warner scored three of the final four goals that lifted the Panthers to victory.
  
Aquinas, the number two seed, took the early control of the game, scoring the first four goals of the game. Austin Gorman started the scored with an unassisted goal at 3:33 of the first quarter. Cameron Corsaro scored the next two, the first assisted by Mike Gray and the second with just eight seconds left in the first quarter. The fired up Little Irish finished the first quarter up 3-0.
  
Early in the second quarter, Mike Messina scored on a fast break drive to the crease, giving Aquinas a four goal lead, for less than a minute, when Alex Love set up a slow break feed to Kyle Boncaro for Geneva's first goal of the game. Chris Tapscott moved the scored to 4-2 with his unassisted side arm shot goal at 9:30. Aquinas scored their first of four EMO goals with a look to the crease by Austin Gorman hitting Jasen Torres. Warner scored the next goal (his first) with a straight dodge from the right side to keep the game close. Aquinas added the last goal of the quarter only 0:17 seconds later off a face-off fast-break. The score was 6-3 Aquinas at the half.
  
At this point, Kraig Heston (the Aquinas goalie) was playing at a level that he had not played prior in the season. Heston had accumulated 14 of his 20 saves, with only three goals against (82%). Heston has the best Aquinas play and was the reason that they led and kept the lead for the majority of the game. Of all the Irish player, he deserved to be on the All-Tournament team and was named to the team even though he was not he winning goalie.
  
Geneva started off the scoring in the second half with a straight one-on-one dodge by Warner. Aquinas scored next three goals, including two man-up goals. The first goal came on the ensuing face-off. The ball was near the Geneva restraining line, when it was sent flying by a group of people fighting for the ground ball towards the midfield line. Mike Messina, awaiting near midfield after the draw, picked up the ground ball and went all the way down the the goal and shot a hard low shot that found the back of the cage. The next two goals were both extra-man goals for the Little Irish that extended their lead to 9-4. Geneva added two more quickly, scoring 0:25 seconds later and 1:12 after that. The first was a one-on-one drive from GLE, where Love forced the ball into the cage and demonstrated his skill and determination when a goal is needed. Kyle Boncaro also added one of his four goals during this stretch. With 7:00 remaining in the third quarter the Little Irish still held on to a 9-6 lead and added one more before the quarter ended to take a 10-6 lead into the final quarter.
  
Aquinas, with a carry-over penalty from the third quarter, scored their fourth EMO goal during a broken clear, when Mike Gray intercepted the ball and passed it up to Cameron Corsaro (adding one of his five goals). Aquinas' lead was now five goals with 11:32 remaining in the fourth, however, Geneva scored eight of the last ten goals. The Panthers scored the next four goals to bring the game within one goal (10-11). With 1:53 remaining Austin Gorman added another goal with a cut from behind the cage and Corsaro added another only 0:19 later to increase the Little Irish lead back to three goals. With 1:37 remaining it seemed as though Aquinas was going to win the title.
  
The Geneva coaches never gave up and kept pressing the kids telling them it wasn't over and that they needed to keep playing hard. Warner scored with 1:16 remaining to bring the Aquinas lead down to two. The Panthers lost the next face-off but worked hard to get the ball back and on the clear Warner drove straight down to the cage for the goal at 0:39, cutting the Aquinas lead to one. Again, the Panthers lost the face-off, however, a quick take by Bobby Martin led to the tying goal by Love with 0:24 remaining. Sean Bennett stepped up to the most important face-off of the game for the Panthers. Bennett won the draw on a technical and Warner took the ball at the midfield line where he drove straight in, as the Panthers had on the last three goals, and as the Little Irish watched, Warner scored the go ahead goal with 0:08 remaining. Aquinas won the final draw, but could not capitalize on it.
  
Joining Heston on the All-Tournament team from Aquinas were Corsaro, Alex Gray, and Gorman. Zach Jonas, from HFL, played exceedingly well at the face-off and on ground balls for the Cougars and was added to the team along with Alex Austin of Eastridge after 3g-4a game against Victor (after returning from injury). For Geneva, Warner was joined by Love, Boncaro, Tyler Travis and Bobby Martin. Travis played exceedingly well at long stick as well as scoring a goal on a fast-break.
  
Scoring for Geneva were Warner (5g), Love (3g-1a), Boncaro (4g), Chris Tapscott (1g), Travis (1g) and Willie Rago (1a).
  
Scoring for Aquinas were Corsaro (5g), Gorman (3g-1a), Anthony Bianchi (1g-2a), Messina (2g), Marc Brondon (1g), Torres (1g), Gray (1a) and Bernard Gauthier (2a).
