Sectionals are underway! Pretty light day with just girls soccer & field hockey, but still some nice performances. Let's see who we have...
1.) Can't bring this up without mentioning Cassie Birth. The Carthage Comet senior has been in a groove lately, and it only continued in the 1st round of sectionals tonight. Her 6th seeded squad held off 11th seed Camden 3-1 in OT, and she dropped all 3 goals - 1 in the 1st half and 2 in the 2nd OT. She's picked it up lately, now at 7 goals & 4 assists in the last 4 games (where they've gone 3-1).
2.) Keeping it with the kinda north country, how about Kylee Bartlett? Her APW Rebels made the looong bus ride to Sherburne, and she handled the scoring load with both finishes in her squad's 2-0 win. They've got quite the task next against Westhill, but for now, she and the team will be happy with coming home winners today!
3.) There were a couple people with this stat line, but I'm throwing the mention to Rainy Johannessen. The 12th seeded Sackets Harbor Patriots played a little bit of role reversal with 5th seeded Oriskany - I'll always remember driving up to Sackets in absolute $h!+ weather last winter to see their 2nd seeded boys basketball team get beat pretty soundly by Oriskany, who was the 10 seed. Today, Sackets girls made the trip down and knocked the Redskins out by a 6-2 count. The conditions outside weren't the only thing rainy that was bothering the home team - Rainy J was the woman of the day, connecting on 3 goals and dishing out an assist on another to move onto the quarters.
4.) M-E/H field hockey delivered the smacking of the day in sectional play, jumping to a 5-1 lead at the half en route to a 6-1 win over Sauquoit. Jess Welsh (of course) and Jen Hilts had 2 goals apiece - Jess must be near about 25,000 goals in almost 15 years of varsity play... or so it seems.
5.) Must feel nice to score the game winner in a 1-0 sectional game. There were a couple who did that today in soccer and one in field hockey, so I guess it's worth mentioning all of them! Chloe Germain put one through off an Ariana Cavallaro assist to prove me wrong in CBA's 1-0 W over Homer, and #TeamHyphenatedNames president Jordan Dunaway-Barlow did it from Mary Morocco in MPH's 1-0 defeat of South Lewis. To the quarterfinals they go - both of them now up against the 1 seed, and both are teams that are also in their league! Can't forget about Nancy Bansbach, who did that for F-M in their win over RFA. They're chomping at the bit for C-NS next...
Extra Notes
Mariah Williams was the other 3 goal, 1 assist star. The future Albany Great Dane did that in Whitesboro's 5-0 W over Fulton... Leandrah Shelmidine, Dana Del Genio, Emilie Mull, Sydney Jones, Amanda Goodhines, Catherine Burns, Lauren Campbell, anddd whoever Morrisville's GK is (soccer) along with Caroline Baril (fockey) all picked up shutouts in goal today. Ya know, since I don't feel like I give the goalies enough love...
