Two new No. 1 teams shake up Section V football Super 10

The twists and turns which come with sports seasons are part of the appeal of it all. When the unexpected unfolds, it can leave fans with jaws dropped or heads scratching. The East High/World of Inquiry Eagles are one of the two new No. 1 ranked teams in the Democrat and Chronicle Super 10 polls. But the Eagles find out this week whether their season is over with a win or if they can play in the Section V Class B final Nov.14. East High/World of Inquiry won its tournament semifinal, 14-6, over No. 1 seed Monroe last weekend. But after defeating the 2025 state champion, the Eagles are waiting for a ruling from either Section V or the New York State Public High School Athletic Association after Monroe and East High/World of Inquiry players engaged in fights on the field. Meanwhile, the Rush-Henrietta Royal Comets, the new top-ranked team from a large school, know that they are playing No. 2 Pittsford in the Section V Class AA final, 6 p.m. Nov. 14 at Saint John Fisher University. The large schools rankings include teams in Class AA and Class A. Class B, Class C and Class D teams are eligible

East/WOI gets its title shot back but will be shorthanded

The door is open for the East High/World of Inquiry football team to play in the Section V Class B championship game Nov. 14, after a ruling by a state athletic association and a Section V official to reinstate the Eagles into the high school tournament. East High/World of Inquiry won a semifinal game at Monroe, 14-6, last Saturday. But seconds after a tackle on the final play of the elimination game Nov. 7, players from both teams began fighting on the field, including those who were on the sidelines. Officials at both schools said they were notified later that day each team was disqualified from the tournament. The decision was made this week and announced Nov. 11 to allow East/World of Inquiry to play Honeoye Falls-Lima, 3 p.m. Saturday at Saint John Fisher University. "I was very optimistic that they were going to find out who was involved and who was not involved," East High/World of Inquiry coach James Vann said. "Hope was still alive. We kept it business as usual (by practicing leading up to a game). "I knew they were going to do their due diligence." Rochester City School District superintendent Eric Jay Rosser said in a

How Long is “A Country Mile”?

What’s the origin of the phrase a country mile? Vida from Rochester, New York, says her husband often uses it, as in “go about a country mile and then make a left.” The expression goes back at least 300 years in the United Kingdom and has long meant “an approximate distance.” Bumpy, unpaved, curvy roads out in the countryside may make a real mile feel much longer. Variants include Irish mile, Welsh mile, Scots mile, and Kentish mile. The idiom often turns up in baseball, where announcers exaggerate the distance by saying a ball was hit a country mile or a pitch missed by a country mile. The word mile itself comes from Latin for “one thousand,” suggesting the measure of “a thousand paces.” This is part of a complete episode.
