League III-A

Was anyone else impressed with Kennedy’s league title?

Croton and Briarcliff have quality teams, so it’s not as though Kennedy competed against nobody.

It looks as though Kennedy has the depth on its team again. Should be an interesting team to watch come sectionals.

How good are Briarcliff and Kennedy? Could the schools become problematic at sectionals?

A slighly more impressive win by Kennedy over Briarcliff.

It’s good to see Jessica Kendzor and Breeda Manion back for the Gaels. This will be a pesky team this season and next.

Kennedy seems to have its middle and distance talent that it had a few years ago back.

Briarcliff looks as thought its building a nice team.

Libby Lazare of Pleasantville is back running well.

How well will Kennedy do on the sectional level? I think the team is still a year away. Somers, Pearl River are going to be tough teams to compete with. Can the Gaels do it?
