After a raucous Friday night that saw one #1 seed fall, sectional semi-finals resumed today with three games, one each in Classes B-D. As I write, the Class D semi-final between Greenwich & Chatham is still underway, and we should have the result as early as tomorrow.

The big story today was in Class B. Undefeated Glens Falls hosted an improving Lansingburgh squad, knowing full well a rematch with Ravena was looming next week.

Would it be too much to suggest Pat Lilac's club was looking past the Knights? Apparently, the answer is yes. The Knights ran out to a big lead, and looked poised to put Glens Falls away, but the Indians came back, and forced overtime. However, a potential game-winning 2-point conversion was stopped, and Lansingburgh heads to the Super Bowl, 41-40.

If that game ending scenario looked familiar, it was. It happened to Troy in a loss to LaSalle in September.
