Byron-Bergen soccer fans are now celebrating two sectional championships in the same weekend after the boys team defeated #1 seed East Rochester 1-0 for the Class C2 crown.
The lone goal was fired in by forward Jack Farner, with an assist from Colin Martin, in the third minute of the game. Martin MacConnell, along with the Bees defense, held the Bombers scoreless the rest of the match.
On Friday, the girls' team beat Keshequa 4-3 in overtime to the Class C2 title.
Coach Ken Rogoyski said, "The last time that the boys and girls teams were sectional champions in the same year was 2002 (21 years ago). They also both won in 2001. And before that, in 1981 (21 years prior to the 2002 win). Coincidentally, the girls tied their match on Friday, sending them into overtime with 21 seconds left in the game."
The Bees, now 16-2-1, will face Cuba-Rushford/Hinsdale on Wednesday night, location TBD.
