Rush-Henrietta (No. 24 NYSSWA Class AA) has clinched the number one overall seed and a bye into the semifinals. The Royal Comets are battle-tested, with a 5-1 record in games decided by one score. They were undefeated against Class AA competition in the regular season.
Pittsford (No. 28 NYSSWA Class AA) is the two seed. The Panthers finished the regular season on a six-game winning streak and averaged 31 points per game, good for the best in Class AA.
Fairport has turned around an 0-4 start to nab the three seed. The Red Raiders won three of their final four games thanks to a defense that held opponents to an average of 8.3 points per game over that stretch.
