Note: Notre Dame's numbers have dropped dramatically the last few years, and are projected at 157 next year. With the Deposit/Hancock merger next year (in case you had not yet heard), this would leave Notre Dame as the smallest school in the Section fielding a team solo. It is not known if they will officially drop to Class D in 2010.

2010 State Rankings
Please note that the State Rankings will not be available on this site this season as they have been in most recent years. You can find them at www.roadtosyracuse.com, the football website of the publishers of the rankings - that being the New York State Sportswriters Association. The first rankings of the 2010 season will appear the evening of Wednesday September 15th.

Southern Tier Sports Network
Again will be webcasting games this season. As the season approaches check website for updates, www.southerntiersportsnetwork.com. They also have archives of all games webcast in previous seasons.
