Here's a look at Sunday's championship games at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse:
Class AA: Orchard Park vs. Monroe-Woodbury, Sunday, 1 p.m.
The big picture: A young Orchard Park team misfired in the 2007 semifinals and lost by a field goal to the West Genesee team that downed Monroe-Woodbury in the final, 42-21. The Dome atmosphere won't overwhelm M-W, which won the 2005 championship there and played finals in Syracuse the last two years in front of hostile crowds.
About Orchard Park (Section 6, 12-0): The offense is led by RB Jeff Tundo and QB Kyle Hoppy, both seniors. Tundo ran for 2,253 yards and scored 29 TDs a year ago en route to winning the Connolly Cup, symbolic of the best football player in Western New York, and has comparable numbers this fall. His two-game total for the quarterfinals and semifinals: 57 carries, 358 yards, seven TDs . . . Senior LB Cameron Hicks blocked three punts in the 37-21 victory against Binghamton in the semifinals . . . The Quakers have outscored their opponents by 437-96.
About Monroe-Woodbury (Section 9, 11-0): QB Dan Scalo has rushed 192 times for 1,322 yards and 16 TDs. He's 43-for-91 throwing the ball for 918 yards, eight TDs and two INTs . . . Andrew Tolosi has 114 carries for 589 yards and five TDs. Trevor Officer has rushed 41 times for 330 yards and four TDs . . . M-W has outscored its opponents by 369-145.
Picking a winner: Orchard Park feasts on defenses by spreading them out and then using the 5-foot-11, 205-pound Tundo as a battering ram. That won't be as easy to do against the Crusaders, who've brought good across-the-board speed to the Dome the last three years. But Hoppy poses a problem, even if his numbers are not out of this world. He throws well-placed bullets, and Monroe-Woodbury's backs will not be able to cheat toward run support as much as they might be used to doing . . . Orchard Park gets the nod, 28-21.
Class B: Oneida vs. Rye, Sunday, 4 p.m.
The big picture: Don't confuse this for "small-school" football. Oneida was in Class A until this season, and Rye's enrollment is only a few students smaller. Rye is also big when it comes to tradition and consistency, having
