Pittsford just crashed the party, storming into the Section V state rankings after extending their winning streak to four games with a huge 21-14 win over state-ranked Hilton. But while the Panthers are celebrating, another team got absolutely rocked and is now out, setting the stage for some must-see matchups in Week 7. Eleven Section V teams are still in the state’s top tier, same as last week, but don’t get it twisted, the landscape has shifted big time.
The Big Moves: Panthers Charge In, Aggies Get Booted
Talk about a statement win! Pittsford, sitting pretty at 5-1, wasn’t even ranked last week in Class AA, but after taking down Hilton, they’ve roared into a tie for No. 30. That’s a four-game winning streak that’s got everyone talking. On the flip side, the Oakfield-Alabama/Elba Aggies got absolutely pummeled, taking a brutal 35-point loss from state-ranked York/Pavilion. That kind of beatdown is tough to recover from, and it sent them right out of the rankings. You just hate to see it happen to any team. Meanwhile, Rush-Henrietta (5-1) took a significant hit, sliding all the way from 19th to 29th in Class AA. That’s a tough pill to swallow for a team with a solid record, and they’ll be looking to bounce back against Hilton.
Top Dogs Hold Strong, Showdowns Loom
Some teams are just built different. Monroe (6-0) is still the undisputed champ in Class B, holding onto that No. 1 spot. They’re getting a well-deserved idle week, probably just chilling and watching everyone else battle it out. Brighton (6-0) is also looking dominant, staying at No. 5 in Class A, ready to face Eastridge. But the real drama is brewing in Class C, where Alexander/Pembroke (6-0) jumped a spot to No. 5 and now faces a massive test against No. 13 Hornell/Arkport/Canaseraga (5-1). That’s a ranked-on-ranked showdown! In Class D, York/Pavilion (5-1) made a nice two-spot jump to No. 10, all thanks to that huge win that knocked out the Aggies. Their reward? A road game at Avon. And let’s not forget LeRoy/Cal-Mum (5-1), climbing to No. 9 in Class C, showing that every win matters.
Week 7 is right around the corner, and you know these teams are fired up. With Pittsford riding high and that Alexander/Pembroke vs. Hornell/Arkport/Canaseraga battle on deck, this weekend is going to be electric. You can bet every team is focused on avoiding that painful drop and instead climbing higher. Let’s get it!
