Brighton, N.Y. — It’s one thing to win a Section V championship. But to do it against your crosstown rival? The rival that beat you earlier this season? “It means a lot, especially to us seniors,” Webster Thomas pitcher Olivia Bowers said following a 2-1 victory over Webster Schroeder in Saturday’s Section V Class AA championship game at Monroe Community College.

Brighton, N.Y. — There was chatter that the Section V Class AAA final might be a bit of a mismatch. That maybe it won’t last longer than five innings. And maybe a bracket with just four teams is a weakened field. But don’t tell that to the softball players from Rush-Henrietta or the Greece Storm. Because during Saturday’s Class AAA championship game at Monroe Community College, there was plenty of fun, tension and drama.

The start was as ideal as it could be for Webster Schroeder but as anyone in sports can tell you, it’s the finish that counts. And it’s not that the Warriors aren’t aware of that. But it’s a helpless feeling when a team like Aquinas kicks into gear to render fruitless all efforts to stop it. That’s what happened Saturday night at Finger Lakes Community College as the Lil Irish found their stride in the second quarter and rode that momentum to a 55-44 win in the Section V Class AA championship.
