MALONE 2, MASSENA 1
The Malone Huskies scored two early goals, then
fended off a furious Massena comeback attempt in a
2-1 win in the Section X Class A Boys Soccer
Championship on October 29th at SUNY Potsdam.
The Huskies took capitalized on early Massena
defensive lapses in snaring the first goal just 55
seconds into the game when Brad Fleury raced up the
right sideline and lifted a floater past Massena
goalie Tom Ward. The shot came just seconds
after John Austin nearly registered a goal on a
Raider breakaway. Malone doubled its lead in
the 19th minute when Tyler Wescott jammed in a
rebound off Zach Leffler's initial shot. The
Raiders got back into the game when Nate Pichette
split the Huskies defense and lasered a shot around
goalie John Beebe. However, both defenses
dominated an aggressive and scoreless 2nd half.
Malone advances to state play next week.

After a brief flash of déja vu, the bitter taste of
last year's first-round playoff defeat to a
previously-winless Gouverneur team was avenged in
the opening round of the 2007 Section X Class B Boys
Playoffs. In a rematch of the Class B play-in
game, #5 seeded Gouverneur broke a scoreless
deadlock early in the second half when Doug Elliott
scored on a play from Nick Cotton-Baez. But
the #4 Shamrocks quickly bounced back. Zach
Bonaparte netted the Rocks' first goal just three
minutes later. Then Ross Cree's diving header
in the 68th minute thrust the Shamrocks into a lead
they did not relinquish. Dan Gerow assisted on
both goals. Goalies Ike Emrich of Gouverneur
and Steve Durant of Salmon River each made 10 saves.

The #4 seeded Salmon River Shamrocks was outshot,
dominated in the final 30 minutes and nearly gave up
a goal late in overtime. But the Shamrock shooters
were right on the mark – 4-for-4 in the shootout –
delivering s stunning death blow to the top-seeded
Potsdam Sandstoners in the 2007 Section X Class B
semifinals at SUNY Canton. Salmon’s Dan Gerow served
notice to Potsdam in the first half when he tapped a
shot from Mitchell David to boost the Rocks to a 1-0
lead. The Stoners, who struggled to get a get an
effective shot on goalkeepers Steve Durant and Chris
Lewis (18 saves combined), tied the game in the 69th
minute when leading scorer Patrick Mullen banged
home a goal from Corey Burcume and Joe Chiarenzelli.
And after a failed open-net opportunity late in
overtime, the Sandstoners found themselves locked in
a shootout duel. Potsdam scored first, but missed on
second and fourth tries. Shamrock shooters Lewis, Bo
Adams, Zach Bonaparte and Dan Gerow did not miss.
With the win, the Shamrocks get a crack at the
Section X Class B title when they take on Canton on
Friday.

Howard ripped twine on a David
Pynchon pass just four minutes
into the second half to lift the
Golden Bears to a hard-fought
1-0 win over the Ogdensburg Blue
Devils in the Section X Class B
semifinals. The Bears, whose
season last year closed in a
shootout loss against the
Potsdam Sandstoners, have been
salivating to avenge that loss,
but when they arrive for the
championship there will be no
Stoners. Canton will face
surprise semifinal winner Salmon
River in the title game on
Friday. Canton keeper Brad Stone
outdueled O.F.A. goalie Mike
Luckie in nets. Both faced 10
shots, with only Howard’s goal
making it through. Ogdensburg
ends its season 11-7, while
Canton improved to 11-4-3.

after getting down 2-0. Poirier scored in the 12th
minute of the game, then punched home an insurance
goal just three minutes into the second half to give
the Panthers a strong 2-0 lead. However, the Flyers
bounced back when Seth Clark scored on a feed from
Jake Ladouceur in the 52nd minute, when just three
minutes later Ladouceur scored from James Purvis to

The game lived up to its billing: the #4

defending New York State Class D Champions,
neighboring Colton-Pierrepont in the Section X Class
D semifinals. In regulation and overtime, the
Panthers outshot the Colts 9-7, but all strikes on
net were turned aside by C-P's Thor Merrill and a
emergency corps of goalies who defended after start
Abe Baxter was hobbled with a foot injury that
forced him to leave the game and seek medical
attention. JV callup Dennis Tebo was spotless
in net during his 80 minutes of relief including
four overtimes. Senior Justin Tyler was called
in to handle the net in the shootout. After
the second penalty kick, tied 1-1, Tyler took a key
shot, then made a key save that proved to be the
turning point. P-H, shooting first, took a 2-1
lead when Tyler misdirected goalie Thor Merrill and
punched the ball in the opposite direction of the
dive. Tyler was nearly faked in the wrong
direction as well, but recovered just in time to tip

Coach Bill Reed was guarded about his team's chances
before the game, noting how strong the East Division
had been this year, with Parishville-Hopkinton,
Chateaugay and Colton-Pierrepont in a strong Class D
contingent along with Salmon River, who finished
fourth in the East, but knocked off Central champion
Potsdam in the playoffs. But the Knights
allayed his concerns with goals in the 24th and 36th
minutes, then frustrated Chateaugay's offense in a
physical encounter that allowed only five
opportunities and only two serious shots on goalie
Zach Premo. Bulldog goalie Zach Peck had four
saves, but was unable to nab two pinpoint bullets,
one that rippled the underside of the mesh and
bounced down across the goal line. Lisbon
advances to play Parishville-Hopkinton in the Class

Corner kicks are never harmless. A corner kick
set up the game-winning goal that turned top-seeded
Parishville-Hopkinton into Section X Class D Boys
Soccer Champions on Friday night at SUNY Canton.
In the game's 30th minute, Bryant Wickwire's angling
line drive from the corner bounced dangerously into
the Lisbon crease and ricocheted off a pair of
Lisbon defenders before settling into the mesh
behind Lisbon goalie Zach Premo. Premo made
five saves off Panther drives, but had no chance on
the elusive cross that proved to be the game winner.
Panthers call-up goalie Dennis Premo knocked down
six Lisbon shots in the shutout. The Panthers
advance to State Playoff action on Tuesday in
