I am getting a jump on my previews for tomorrow and just saw something that made me crack a little smile.
The newest version of the New York State Sportswriters Association state rankings came out today and our area teams are doing very well.
Le Roy moved up from fourth to third in Class C after demolishing Hornell last week and Oakfield-Alabama made the jump from No. 10 to No. 8.
Pembroke had not been ranked all season long and was getting an honorable mention before losing to O-A in Week 6, but fell off the board after that. The Dragons are making their first appearance on the official top 20 list at No. 17 this week.
Notre Dame received its first honorable mention this week in Class D after thumping DeSales last week.
It is nice to see the state is giving props to teams from our area. Now hopefully our local teams can prove them right.
