Moravia and Dryden high schools will host relocated girls soccer state championship games this weekend after the New York State Public High School Athletic Association announced venue changes because of anticipated snow.
The Class C and D semifinals scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 14, at Homer High School will move to Moravia High School. The Class C and D finals, along with the Class AAA final, will be played Sunday, Nov. 15, at Dryden High School. All game times remain unchanged, NYSPHSAA said in a Thursday news release.
Moravia to host four semifinals Saturday
The association said the changes address anticipated inclement weather and limitations on snow removal if fields accumulate significant snow. Moving the affected games will allow the semifinals and finals to retain their scheduled start times.
Saturday’s revised schedule at Moravia High School is:
- 9:30 a.m., Class C: Greene of Section IV vs. Stillwater of Section 2.
- Noon, Class C: Wilson of Section VI vs. St. Lawrence of Section X.
- 2:30 p.m., Class D: Lisbon of Section X vs. Chazy of Section VII.
- 5 p.m., Class D: Northstar Christian of Section V vs. Cincinnatus of Section III.
Three championship finals move to Dryden
Sunday’s revised schedule at Dryden High School is:
- 10 a.m.: Class AAA final.
- 12:30 p.m.: Class C final.
- 3 p.m.: Class D final.
“The safety of our student-athletes, coaches, officials, and spectators remains our top priority,” NYSPHSAA Executive Director Robert Zayas said in the release.
Zayas said the adjustments are intended to provide appropriate playing conditions amid the anticipated winter weather. He thanked host schools and participating teams for their flexibility and cooperation.
All other girls soccer state championship games will remain at their originally scheduled locations and times, the association said. Additional championship information is available at nysphsaa.org.
