Queensbury had waited five years to get back into the state football tournament. Apparently, no one told them how much things had changed.
Having dethroned Section II's other Spartans, from Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake, before beating Troy last week, Queensbury returned to Shenendehowa on Saturday afternoon for a twilight game vs. defending state champion Cornwall. For the second straight week, Queensbury fell behind early, but this time, despite a furious second half rally, Matt Crossman's Spartans were eliminated, 28-27.
The loss wrapped up a disappointing day for the teams from the North Country, as Class D titlist Warrensburg also goes one-& done in state play, falling to Moriah.
That leaves Shen (AA) & Schuylerville (B) as the only Section II teams left heading into regional finals next weekend, and there's also no more home cooking, as the Black Horses & Plainsmen will be outside Section II going forward. That Section II got to host four of the five games the last two days is an achievement unto itself.
