Semifinals are here!

Sorry I missed a week...but I'm back ready for the playoff push.
There's no question the game that will garner most of the attention is Whitesboro vs. New Hartford. That is Friday night at RFA, 7pm kickoff. Whitesboro won the regular season game by three. However, the Spartans played them tough, actually lead 12-0 at the half. I think both teams are improved since week three of the season. Spartans quarterback Mike Doyle is playing some great football right now and he will be tested by the Warriors defense that hasn't allowed a point in the last two games. What do you think about this one?
In Class C, undefeated Mt.Markham faces Thousand Islands Friday night 7pm at Sauquoit. This one should be a good one. Can anyone stop Luke Phillips? If a team was to do that, they'd still have to contend with Cassale, Deming and Maxson. As long as the Mustangs play error free football, they can play their way to a section final appearance.
Staying in Class C, Adirondack looks down right scary! They ran over defending champ Westmoreland and now they have their sites set on top seed Bishop Ludden Friday at Corcoran at 8pm. Cody Hitt is showing the area he can do it all, something the folks in Boonville long knew was possible. Was anyone else shocked to see the Wildcats roll big this past weekend?
In Class D, Frankfort travels to face top ranked Onondaga Friday, 7pm at Chittenango. The Maroon Knights have their hands full trying to stop the outstanding play of Latavius Murray. However, Frankfort has some tough athletes. Their line is anchored by the Penree brothers. Along with List, Barr, Gatto and Post on offense, the Maroon Knights deserve to be there...now they have to do more that show up, they need to pull off the upset.
On Saturday, the other Class D semifinal pitts Weedsport against top seed Dolgeville. That is 2pm at Proctor. Weedsport struggled with Waterville last week and Dolgeville crushed Sandy Creek by halftime. The Blue Devils now get to play on turf. If they are fast at home on grass, imagine what they can do on that surface. Weedsport is better, but likely not good enough.
Bring it on, let me know what you think of these matchups!!!

Congratulations to the Mt. Markham Mustangs. I think the match up with Thousand Islands is going to be one of the hardest we have seen this year, but if the team plays great defense and blocks good on offense then I think they will come out on top!

i would say new hartford upsets whitsebor, frankfort wins, dolgville rolls, adirondak wins....and mt markham wins even though they have to contend with a huge turnout of sauquoit fans routing for thousands islands, to beat one of sauquoits long time rivals on their own field

Mount Markham playing in Sauquoit is basically a home game against TI. Big advantage in my book IMO.

defense wins championships if whitesboro plays like they did the last two weeks they should beat N.H. it all comes down to execution since both teams know each other so well
