Kendall had same soccer, baseball title foe

It has been a banner school year for the Kendall High boys varsity soccer and baseball teams which both ended 25 year plus long sectional title droughts ironically accomplishing the feat against the same opponent.
Last fall Kendall claimed its first boys soccer postseason title since 1998 by defeating Genesee Valley-Belfast 3-1 for the Section V Class C2 championship. The Eagles went on to also win the Section V Class C state qualifier game by besting East Rochester 3-0.
The Eagles baseball team duplicated that feat by earning their first postseason title since 1999 by also downing Genesee Valley-Belfast 6-0 for the Section V Class C2 championship on Saturday at Livonia. The Eagles will next play in the Section V Class C state qualifier game on Tuesday against Geneseo.
Interesting no less that six players – Colby Hughes, Mikey Colucci, Vinnie D’Agostino, Jonas Rhodes, Jonny Conte and Andrew Cole – have been members of both the sectional champion soccer and baseball teams.
