Playoffs Are Here!

So you say there's a chance....yea there is. Every team is 0-0 and if you lose you are done.
So what are our locals chances..I would say pretty good. In Class AA, I feel the RFA Black Knights have as good a chance as anyone in that league to win the section title. I know everyone is all about one game at a time. I like the big picture, and hey, I can do that as a sportscaster. The "X" factor in Rome is Mike Davis. He lives and breathes football. His knowledge is vast and he will out work and out prepare is oppponents. His players will run through walls for him. They get it, and can win it.

In Class A, no disrespect to Camden by this next one, but I feel the team to watch for is New Hartford. Once again they get the low seed. Their two losses this season have been by a mere point! OK so there are those of you that feel I'm too close because of Don Edick. Not true, if anything I'm more non-bias because of our friendship. Look, the best running back in the Mohawk Valley has to be Joe Carcone, although Scott Dunlap is 1A. Different league though and I digress. If the Spartans can play up to their potential, and since their loss to Whitesboro, a game they never should have lost, then I see them right back in the Class A Final.

Class B, ok. It's Oneida, Oneida, Oneida, at least in section three. The Indians have pretty much taken teams out to the wood shed, except of course for Chittenango. However, good teams beat the teams they are supposed to beat, whether its by a point or 30 points. The Indians are the best team in Class B, but they can't live by my words, they have to prove it in the playoffs.

In Class C, I'm tooting my own horn cause after all, If I don't who will right? I've been saying for weeks Westmoreland would be the team to beat Cazenovia. The Bulldogs played an excellent second half to get the job done. However, that was regular season. Now they have to bring it hard the rest of the way. Herkimer keeps hanging around like a bad penny. In this case, its a silver dollar (for those that remember what those were like). Alan Steele, Tim Zaleski and Jerry Walczak make a nice trio. If the players can execute and limit mistakes, they could make a run. The there is Adirondack. Talk about scary. No one is stopping Scott Dunlap and company. Every week has been a playoff for the Wildcats so this week will be no different.

Class D. I think we all learned a valuable lesson this past week. DON'T EVER BET AGAINST DOLGEVILLE IN A BIG GAME! I never have, and never will. Sorry Mohawk Valley, too much karma. If Notre Dame is going to make any noise in sectionals, they better study that film til their eyes hurt. I wouldn't bet against Dolgeville vs. IHC in the dome, but I'm not a betting man, I'm just sayin...
