it's the tournament capability that has me captivated for now.
To the dismay of many, the New York State Sportswriters Association ranked Auburn (10-3) and William Floyd (11-0) in a tie for No. 1 in Class AA last fall and left St. Anthony's (No. 3, 11-0) and Fort Hamilton (No. 5, 13-0) on the outside looking in.
Unable to resist temptation, I used the online tool to play (and replay) a tournament involving the four teams. St. Anthony's was the runaway winner, with the other three in a close battle for second.
A change at Lew-Port: Brian Gunby is not back for a fourth season as the football coach at Lewiston-Porter. Nether Gunby nor AD Scott Townsend returned calls from the Niagara Gazette seeking comment, but assistant Dick Lindamer, 39, was serving as the interim head coach Monday and is expected to remain in the top spot this fall.
Lindamer has been an assistant coach for the past six years at Lew-Port. He also spent seven seasons as an assistant at Ellicottville.
Sources told the newspaper that the decision was a shock, as Gunby was seen re-certifying his CPR/AED training at the school last week. Gunby was 10-16 in his three seasons.
