Mustangs will host Section VI Class C football quarterfinal Thursday

Postseason football competition will get underway Thursday as Medina hosts Falconer/Cassadaga Valley/Maple Grove at 7 p.m. at Vets Park in the quarterfinal round of the Section VI Class C playoffs.

The matchup will be a repeat of last year’s quarterfinal which saw Medina down Falconer/CV/MG 24-0 at Vets Park.

Medina is the No.2 seed from the C North Division while Falconer/CV/MG is the No. 3 seed from the C South Division.

Medina finished the regular season in a three-way tie for the Mustangs fifth straight C North championship with Newfane and Alden all at 6-1. Alden earned a one-third share of the title by defeating Cleveland Hill 43-28 on Friday.

Newfane earned the C North’s No. 1 seed by virtue of having the most power points in contests involving the three tri champions. Alden is the No. 3 seed and Cleveland Hill the No. 4 seed.

The C South Division’s other seeds are No. 1 Salamanca, No. 2 Chautauqua Lake/Westfield/Brocton and No. 4 Portville.
