Comments
Phil Blackwell: A fair case can be made that New Hartford is the most impressive team in any class. The Spartans were undefeated in 2020 and, in its first seven games this fall, piled up 49 goals from 15 different players. True, Allison Falvo is the top threat, but it’s New Hartford’s sheer depth that really makes this team a threat to play deep into November.
Pat Spadafore: Section III girls soccer dominated at the Oneonta Tournament this weekend. Let’s hope that translates well during the state playoffs.
