We’ve got two days of non-playoff and Hudson Valley League tournament games before Section 1 kicks off its postseason. Given all the work and sacrifice that goes into a football campaign it’s good to see teams that failed to make the playoffs take advantage of an opportunity to play at least one more game.
There’s a lot going on this weekend so we’re dialing back on the football coverage just a little so we can spotlight the sectional championship games in soccer and field hockey. I’ll be covering at least two games and we’ll keep updating the scoreboard and live brackets in between the action.
Here’s my game plan:
