Players/Teams - AJ Fitzgerald and Sachem North are favorites, returning 5-6 starters from state runner-up team. Owen Wickens and McQuaid also return a lot of experience, Penfield will push them with serving and passing, Shen looked dominant at a local club tournament (want to say they held the Burnt Hills group to low single digits and beat their 18's team), Victor and CNS return a lot. Fairport is going to need their OH1 to carry them. Eden returns some good talent in a year where not a lot of talent returns to D2 and are probably favorites there again.
Tournaments - Eden Can-Am (Sept. 7 - Buffalo), Sachem North Invitational (Sept. 21 - LI), Penfield Tournament (Oct. 12 - Roc.).
***Eden is historically the deepest, followed by the Sachem tournament. Sachem Invite will probably be the toughest just because Sachem is playing in it.
Important Regular Season - Penfield vs. Fairport (Sept. 19 and Oct. 23). Eden vs. Canisius (Oct. 25). Burnt Hills, Shen, Bethlehem, Shaker (Sept. 4, 6, 11, 13). CNS vs. Fayetteville-Manlius (Sept. 25). Sachem North vs. Sachem East (Sept. 5)
***From what I could see Penfield and Fairport don't play McQuaid in the regular season this year, but wouldn't be surprised if that got added. Eden-Canisius is always very competitive. Weird scheduling means that the 4 best teams from Section 2 last year will play each other over the first 4 days of the regular season. Sachems are a big rivalry game. As schools update schedules, there should be some more fun ones.

Section 2 - Shen over Bethlehem (D1), Burnt Hills over Christian Brothers (D2)
Section 3 - CNS over Fayetteville-Manlius (D1), Oswego over J-D (D2)

Far West - McQuaid (D1), Eden (D2)

***With Clarkstown South dropping to D2 and Christian Brothers adding a program in Section 2, this is the first year all sections will at least have a championship game at the D2 level.

Im going to begin with this. Fairport won’t be the same without Ryan and that group they had. Orchard Park really has a big chance to win Section VI. It’s the matter of if they can win? Also, Can they be the first D1 Section VI School to make it to states?? D2 Section VI Crossover is going to be Grand Island (if they can beat WSW) vs Eden (Can they quickly reload to pull a 3-Peat). Eden is going to have to overcome possibly some losses where it hurt but B2 is so awful of a bracket where their gonna advance without any doubts.

It will be very interesting in Section V and Section VI. This could be the year a Buffalo school breaks through

How does NY have playoffs bracket?
In FL, everyone is in same class and only one “true” state champion.

How does NY have playoffs bracket? In FL, everyone is in same class and only one “true” state champion. Keep in mind NY state is a strong union state, communities are fiercely independent and our state govt hasn't been allowed to gut public education like many states in the USA. Therefore we have a large number of school districts and not county or regional districts 2 Classes based on 9th-11th numbers. Divison I 951- Up Divison II 950- under Its an interesting breakoff and one that is imbalanced , certainly in some Sections. EX. Section VI (Buffalo-Western New York) 25 D II Schools and only 7 D I schools. The classification used to be 800 up/down. Lacrosse has 3 classifications and I expect Boys Volleyball to go this route soon The REALLY good news is we added 5 new Buffalo City Schools in Boys Volleyball......couple that with the USA/Motor creation of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference teams....it may help increase exposure to the inner city and athletes of color that know nothing of this sport. |

Sachem North, Northport, Connetquot, Bellmore JFK, Shenendehowa, Sachem East, Smithtown East, Smithtown West, Center Moriches, Sayville, and possibly a few more ***Looks like it will be just as deep as the Eden Can-Am. Will be interesting to see if anyone can knock off Sachem North.
Section 2, Tuesday 9/17 - Bethlehem @ Shenendehowa Section 3, Thursday 9/19 - Fayetteville-Manlius @ Baldwinsville Section 5, Wednesday 9/18 and Saturday 9/21 - Penfield @ Fairport and Victor @ Fairport Section 11, Thursday 9/19 - Connetquot @ Sachem North If anyone knows of any big games in Section 6, that is by far the toughest section to get schedules/scores from. Nothing stood out from Sections 1 and 8, but I could have missed a game or two. |

You can get everything you need for section 6 boys volleyball from the WNY Athletics website. Past results, all future matches, division standings, articles, etc. Some teams put in stats for games (very basic) while others do not. It’s a great site though. Use the scoreboard feature for future matches. If you click on a team you get their complete schedule. It’s only our first year using it, so there might be some hiccups along the way. wnyathletics.com/high-school/sectionvi/boys-volleyball |

Is the coaches association publishing a boys ranking this year? Only the girls are listed. I know section 6 does a top 10 and that in the past there was a state ranking. I don’t know when those rankings were done, who organized those rankings, or who published them. So maybe? Just don’t know where to find them. |
