Cortland - The 2007 High School Girls State Championship tournament begins this Friday at the SUNY Cortland Stadium Complex, Tompkins Cortland Community College and Homer High School Stadium.
Twenty teams from across New York State will vie for state titles in five divisions. Hosted by the Cortland Regional Sports Council and Section 3 Girls Soccer, the event kicks off on Thursday November 15, with a banquet at SUNY Cortland's Corey Union. First round action gets underway on Friday, with the championship games slated for Saturday.
"Our local hotels are completely booked with players, coaches,
spectators and officials," said Sports Council Executive Director
Machell Phelps. "This is exactly the kind of event we want to draw to
the Cortland community."
Match ups include 4 teams from Section
III in Class AA, Class B, Class C and Class D. Once again this year in
the tournament field is Burnt Hills, the Class A section 2 champion
that advanced to the tournament over Section 3 champion Cortland a week
ago. Burnt Hills will face South Side at 10:00 on the Tompkins Cortland
Community College field.
