Clarity in Class D? We might have insight into what the Western Region quarterfinal matchup for Class D in the NYSPHSAA playoffs will look like in November courtesy of two contests featuring the state's four top-ranked squads.
Top-ranked Maple Grove defeated No. 3 Franklinville/Ellicottville 43-12 as Bradley Benson ran for 125 yards and two touchdowns and scored for a third time on a 95-yard kickoff return. Maple Grove plays No. 17 Silver Creek/Forestville next week in another significant Section 6 contest.
Meanwhile, No. 4 Clyde-Savannah galloped past No. 2 Red Jacket 47-14 in a Section 5 matchup.
More Class D: Junior Joe Benedict rushed for 406 yards and six touchdowns but No. 20 Sandy Creek fell to Bishop Ludden 55-49. QB Shi'kem Lee threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Keandre Sanders with :22 remaining to lift the Gaelic Knights to the win.
Letchworth/Warsaw, ranked 14th in Class C, blanked Class D No. 9 Cuba-Rushford 17-0 with the help of Vicente Arriagada field goals of 35, 27 and 43 yards.
Brewster pulls upset: Brewster cobbled together an 11-7 win over Rye with a short Jack Guida TD run and a pair of safeties.
Rye is ranked second in Class A and Brewster 16th by the New York State Sportswriters Association.
The safeties came on a fumbled handoff exchange in the end zone and a fumbled snap. With his team trailing 7-4, Guida helped march the Bears 51 yards on seven plays and scored on a 2-yard run with 10:07 remaining.
More Class A: Greece Athena senior Tavon Granison threw three TD passes and scored the deciding touchdown on a 1-yard run early in the fourth quarter as No. 18 Greece Athena edged No. 7 Brighton 28-21.
A 1-yard run by Brighton QB Shea McDonald with :24.3 remaining in the third quarter and Jonathan Vaysman's extra point moved the Barons ahead 21-20. The Trojans than answered with a 67-yard drive to go ahead with 9:22 to play.
West Seneca East knocked off No. 24 Buffalo South Park 17-14 on a Richard Wagner field goal with 3:14 left in a rematch of the 2015 Section 6 championship game. West Seneca East forced five turnovers, including three interceptions.
Farmingdale wins: Jordan McLune rushed for 238 yards and four TDs, but his suggestion to let someone else carry the ball helped clinch Farmingdale's 31-20 win over Freeport.
Farmingdale is ranked sixth and Freeport 22nd in Class AA.
With Farmingdale facing a crucial fourth-and-4 play at the Freeport 6-yard line late in the contest, McLune told quarterback Tommy Donovan to keep the ball. "At the timeout, I told the coaches to run a backside sweep. They were stacking the box. Either give it to Kevin (Eversley) or keep it," McLune told Newsday. "The coaches agreed. First time I ever called a play."
Donovan ran 5 yards for a huge first down and McLune then plunged in from the 1 for his fourth touchdown in the matchup of undefeated Nassau Division I teams.
More Class AA: Marquis Carter ran 24 times for 210 yards and a touchdown as No. 8 Pittsford defeated No. 15 Hilton 37-20. Michael DeLucia added 126 yards on the ground and a pair of TDs.
Details were sparse as of late Saturday morning, but Connetquot went two overtimes to edge No. 5 Longwood 36-34.
Running back Romeo Holden ran for 75 yards on nine carries, caught three passes for 87 yards and scored four TDs for No. 4 New Rochelle in a 39-18 win over No. 24 Clarkstown South.
