Here is the Potter and Perrone Top 10 for the week of May 9….
- One of the biggest boys lacrosse games of the regular season happens Tuesday when C-NS puts its 12-0 record on the line against West Genesee. The Northstars followed up a close call against Liverpool by toppling both F-M and Baldwinsville this week to maintain that perfect mark. West Genesee has lost four games but against a far tougher schedule and three of those losses were by one goal…
- In all the other classes in boys lacrosse it’s clear who the front-runners are. CBA is 12-1 in Class B and the only state-ranked side at no. 7. J-D still sits at no. 2 in the state in Class C and plays Victor on Saturday after beating Class D state no. 4-ranked Marcellus last weekend. The Mustangs and LaFayette lead the Class D pack although General Brown, Lowville or Westhill are state-ranked…
- West Genesee girls lacrosse still finds itself undefeated, the only Section III team with a perfect mark after the Wildcats battled past Baldwinsville 8-5 and Liverpool 13-6 this week, though a rematch with C-NS looms next week. The top two Class B contenders met on Tuesday and F-M held off Watertown 15-10 with those two sides knowing a sectional final rematch is likely…
- Though South Jefferson girls lacrosse took its first defeat of the season to Victor last weekend it’s still at no. 2 in the state Class C rankings with J-D right behind them in the no. 4 spot having pushed West Genesee to overtime in an 8-7 defeat last weekend. Class D appears wide open, though, with state-ranked Skaneateles and Marcellus both dropping close games this week…..
- Some great baseball series are taking place late in the regular season. Cortland beat CBA in extra innings on Thursday as those two sides will play again, and early next week Baldwinsville and West Genesee battle twice, the two clear front-runners in their respective classes for the upcoming playoffs. Oriskany has moved to 13-0 in Class D and in Class C Weedsport has built a 12-0 record…
- Top small-school softball contenders met on Friday and Cincinnatus moved to 12-0 on the season rallying late to beat McGraw 6-5. The Eagles join Sandy Creek in the state Class C top 10 as among the large schools F-M got an impressive win over C-NS to reinforce its place as the Class AA favorites, while New Hartford and Chittenango remain the favorites in Class A, both of them in top form…
- Syracuse East continues its unbeaten tear through area girls flag football beating C-NS, Baldwinsville and Liverpool by double-digit margins just this week. First-year program ESM built a six-game win streak and knocked off F-M only to get shut out by Central Square later in the week. Oneida is 13-1 with its lone defeat to Syracuse East and Westmoreland continues to impress with a 7-3-1 mark….
- The Section III boys tennis team tournaments have started. In Class A unbeaten F-M is the top seed and could meet fellow unbeaten CBA in the semifinals as Liverpool holds the no. 2 seed. Another unbeaten side, Whitesboro, holds the Class B top seed, while J-D is the no. 1 seed in Class C and Cazenovia, whose only loss was to CBA, sits at the top seed in Class D trying to repeat as champions..
- This is the busiest week of the track and field season. Big invitational meets were hosted by ESM on Monday and Baldwinsville on Friday with the John Arcaro Classic where South Jefferson’s girls and West Genesee’s boys won the team titles, with plenty of league meets in between them and some of the top athletes also making it to White Plains for the Loucks Games…
- The coaching carousel continues on a nearly unprecedented scale in basketball. Both of West Genesee’s coaches stepped down including Fred Kent, who led the boys Wildcats to two state finals and a 2019 state Class AA championship. Walt Munze, who started lacrosse programs at ESM and CBA, was named to the 2026 class of the NYSPHSAA Hall of Fame to be honored in Buffalo in July..
