The N-O title races have undefeated Newfane leading the way in both boys and girls soccer, Akron undefeated in field hockey and volleyball and defending champion Wilson unbeaten in golf.

And while the N-O golf season will wrap up the week the cross-country season gets underway on Tuesday with the Barker boys and Newfane girls teams prepping to defend their titles.

In football, undefeated Medina/Lyndonville (4-0) will be looking to clinch at least a tie for the B East Division title with a win at Depew on Friday.
