The stage is set for the state semifinals, and two Section III football teams are still fighting for those titles after this weekend.

Cicero–North Syracuse was trailing Corning early, but they rallied to take down the Hawks 20-16 in Vestal. The Northstars don't know who their opponent will be yet, because Bennett and McQuaid aren't set to play until at least Tuesday night.

Christian Brothers Academy made easy work of Union-Endicott, blowing out the Tigers on Friday night by a final score of 42-0. The Brothers will face Jamestown, at 6 p.m. on Friday at C-NS.
