The Eagles will play Brockport in the first round while the Gray Wolves will host Schroeder, barring unexpected results on Saturday. East/WOIS beat Brockport 48-21 in Week 6. Canandaigua did not play Schroeder in the regular season. Schroeder 41, Thomas 7 The Battle for Webster had much more on the line than just bragging rights, as Schroeder's win over Thomas punched their ticket into the Class A playoffs. Both teams were on the bubble heading into the game, but the Warriors left no doubt about who was the better team on Friday night. The Warriors scored a pair of touchdowns in each of the first two quarters and led 13-0 at the half. The Titans drove into the red zone on their first drive of the second half, but Tyler Washington came away with an interception to end the drive. The Warriors wasted no time as they needed just two plays to go 80 yards for a touchdown, with Daniel Hilfiker tossing a swing pass over to running back Aydin Stephens for a 44-yard first down. That was the first of three straight touchdowns to open the second half as the Warriors built a 34-0 lead and never looked back. Schroeder (5-3) enters the postseason riding a five-game winning streak after dropping the first three of the season. The Warriors are locked into the sixth seed, with Canandaigua their likely opponent in the quarterfinals if favorites win out on Saturday. The Warriors and Gray Wolves did not meet in the regular season. Thomas (4-4) will have to play the waiting game to determine their postseason fate. If Athena (3-4) beats Wilson (1-6) on Saturday, the Trojans will earn the final playoff spot. A Wilson victor will send the Titans into the postseason. Brockport 41, Arcadia 14 The Blue Devils punched their ticket to the playoffs with authority on Friday night, as they built up a 41-0 halftime lead to clinch a spot in the Class A bracket. Landon Scott threw for four touchdowns in the first half, completing eight of his nine attempts for 223 yards. His first two touchdown passes went to Azay Odey, long passes deep down the field from 37 and 54 yards out. Braden Scaccia had 95 rushing yards on nine carries with a touchdown. He also had 54 receiving yards. Brockport (5-3) has earned the 7th seed in the Class A playoffs. They will play East/WOIS in the quarterfinals, barring unexpected results in Saturday's action.

Amari Snowden made eight tackles, with two coming for a loss. Brighton (8-0) has secured the top spot in the Class A bracket. They will play either Athena or Thomas in the quarterfinals. Athena plays Wilson on Saturday afternoon, with a victory pushing them into the playoffs. Brighton beat Thomas 31-7 in the regular season but did not face Athena. Victor would have made the playoffs with the upset victory, but their strong defensive performance was not enough to give them the shocker. They finish the season with a 2-6 record. Fairport 31, McQuaid 21 Fairport secured the top seed in Class AA with a win over McQuaid led by two touchdowns from Sam Roselli.  McQuaid struck first on a 34-yard touchdown pass from Will DiMarco to AJ Quagrello, leading 7-0 in the first quarter. Fairport responded with a 51-yard touchdown run from Noah Remington to even the score 7-7.  Roselli scored his first touchdown of the day to start the second quarter to give Fairport a 14-7 lead.  After the Red Raiders scored a field goal, DiMarco found Xavier Cox for a 15-yard touchdown as McQuaid closed the gap 17-14.  To close the first half, a pick-six by John Gossin extended Fairport's lead to 24-14.  McQuaid opened the third quarter scoring on a 1-yard rush from Allen Nesmith to bring the score to 24-21.  The Red Raiders sealed the game with a rushing touchdown from Roselli in the fourth quarter to take the victory 31-21.  Roselli led the way with 104 yards in the air and 85 on the ground for two touchdowns.

They appear in line to host Rush-Henrietta in the first round, though the sectional standings will be finalized after Saturday's action. Fairport beat R-H 21-7 in Week 5. McQuaid dropped to 6-2 with the loss, falling in two of their final three games of the regular season. They are the two-seed and are projected to match up with Pittsford in the first round.
