CLASS A FINAL
CANANDAIGUA 21
EAST 13
Zachary Wantuck ran in a pair of touchdowns on 21 carries for 139 yards and Canandaigua (No. 18 NYSSWA Class A) downed a third straight higher-seeded opponent to win its first sectional title since 2007. After a scoreless first quarter, both offenses came alive as East (No. 16 NYSSWA Class A) scored the first points of the contest with a Anthony Gilbert touchdown pass to Justus Ross-Simmons in the back of the end zone. The Braves answered quickly with a read-option touchdown from quarterback Bryan Boldrin to knot the score at 7-7. Shortly after, Mike Maxwell caught a 46-yard touchdown pass from Gilbert to put the Eagles up 13-7. In the closing minutes of the first half, Canandaigua took a lead it would not surrender after Zachary Wantuck scored on an 18-yard touchdown run and put the Braves up 14-13 headed into the half. A scoreless third quarter led to Wantuck adding the final touchdown of the game at the start of the fourth quarter with a three-yard touchdown run.
SATURDAY

After a classic at Frontier Field nine weeks prior that saw McQuaid (No. 6 NYSSWA Class AA) defeat Aquinas (No. 8 NYSSWA Class AA) for the first time in 13 years, both teams hoped to see each other again in sectionals. Their wish was granted. It came as little to no surprise considering these squads were the cream of the crop in class AA and combined for a 17-1 record coming into Saturday’s matchup. READ MORE.
