Boys: Bronxville wins, North Salem and Harrison fall

November
16

Well, I just polished off my final story of the day and I’m about to make the long drive from Oneonta to Queens. It’s been a busy weekend here at the Soccer Hall of Fame. Twenty of the best teams in the state, fifteen games. And, ultimately, five champions.

I was hoping for a banner year for Section 1 with four teams making the trip. Never has the section had more than two champs in one year. Westchester’s never had more than one team. And it still doesn’t.

Only Bronxville got out of Oneonta alive. Harrison, Fishkill, and North Salem all came close but showed why it’s so hard to go all the way. There are some darn good teams out there. All four Section 1 clubs did their towns proud with the effort they showed.

I’m going to hit the road now so I can get out of this Holiday Inn bar (it’s the only place that has internet). Tonight or tomorrow I’ll be back with more breakdowns of each team’s road to the finals. If you have any final thoughts on what happened this weekend, leave them here.
