Summary

Unfortunately, two of the Top 10 teams in the State reside in the same Section. Fairport is the pick to move forward, one of the favorites for a State Title, but Churchville will be well suited for a Feds bid, and plenty of Individuals.

Boys Class B

1Pittsford Sutherland159.830Tempest, Krenzer, Cole

5Honeoye Falls-Lima144.424Cushman, C.Burke, H.Burke, Larsen
6Greece Arcadia14355D. Granville, J. Granville, Daniel

Summary

This one is closer than it would appear by just the rankings. Sutherland's average is skewed by a big mark by Tempest, but only three points separate their top runner from McQuaid. This could come down to inches, as the packs between the two teams are relatively even. We're going with Pittsford here, because it's always easier to start with a single point, but this one could go either way.
