Ethan Francey connected on Canton’s first three goals to guide the top-seeded Golden Bears to a 5-0 win over #3-seeded Salmon River to claim the Section X Class B championship. The Shamrocks tried to poke the Bear early, but missed a chance to score first, just wide through the crease. Then came a barrage of goals in the final ten minutes of the half to seal the fates. After Francey booted the first score, Tom Husinec's corner kick was sent to the mesh on Francey’s perfectly-timed header, upping the lead to 2-0, just a minute later.

Jones was dead-on with a blast into the lower right corner for Canton’s fourth score. Husinec netted the final goal in a 5-0 Canton victory for the Class B crown. Canton improved to 15-3 overall, while Salmon River finished their season at 11-8.
