Twenty-five teams from Section V are absolutely lighting up the latest New York State girls soccer rankings, which is the most we’ve seen all season long! With section tournaments giving way to state play, it’s clear Section V isn’t messing around.
Who’s Exploding Up and Who’s Taking a Hit
Talk about a glow up: Holley just rocketed up 19 spots in Class C. Seriously, *nineteen spots*! They earned that with a massive 1-0 win over Avon to snag the Class C-1 title. That’s how you make a statement. But they weren’t the only ones making big moves. Penfield jumped eight spots in AAA, and Aquinas climbed a solid ten spots in AA. These teams are on fire right now, showing everyone they mean business as we head into state play.
Of course, not everyone’s celebrating. Keshequa took a tough hit, falling 15 spots in Class C. The Wildcats, who were seeded second, got knocked out by Fillmore in the section semifinals. That’s a brutal drop, but it just shows how competitive it is out there.
A Look at the Top Ranked Squads and What’s Next
The rankings are updated through October 31, and the picture is getting clearer for state play.
In Class AAA, Penfield (8-4-5) is sitting at No. 13 after their jump, and they’re heading into state regionals Saturday, Nov. 7, against Lancaster. Fairport (5-7-4) also snuck in at No. 25, which is huge for them, even if their season is done.
Class AA has some heavy hitters. Spencerport (15-2-3) is at No. 4 and has a regional game Saturday, Nov. 7, at Clarence. Aquinas (17-1-0) shot up to No. 15, an awesome run for them, though their season is wrapped.
Down in Class C, Kendall (19-1-0) is holding strong at No. 3 and they’ve got state regionals on Friday, Nov. 6, against Wilson. Holley (14-5-1), after their epic climb, is now No. 6, but their season ended on a high note with that title. And over in Class D, Northstar Christian (15-2-1) is at No. 5, gearing up for regionals Friday, Nov. 6, against Ellicottville.
It’s crunch time for these teams. Some are done, but many are pushing hard into state regionals. These rankings show just how fierce the competition is right now across New York. Who’s gonna keep that momentum going and bring home a state title? We’ll find out starting this week!
