McCollum, Lyons, Branch, Yanguas, DeNunzio

Summary:   The big teams of S5-A went at it at Monroe County, and Fairport came away with the win while Victor also showed well. Webster Thomas was running way off its usual pace, but remembering what goes down at Monroe in past years, we will stick with the Titans in what should be probably the best head-to-head duel of two well-matched teams among the state's A races.

Summary:  Pittsford Mendon has been the leader in S5-B for a long time and will likely be able to pull off another win here on Saturday. McQuaid has some high flyers at the top though, and it could make a run at the Vikings if it can pull the back of the lineup up a ways.

Skalney, Carrick, Chadbourne, Ricupito, Babcock

Summary:  Arkport is one of the top two teams in NY Class D, but Oakfield-Alabama is not far behind. In addition to the better speed ratings, Arkport also has a little better 1-5 split, which should give it the title.
