For the first time in a decade—and only the second time in school history—the Brockport Blue Devils football team advanced to the Class A2 sectional finals. Although they were ultimately shut out by East WOIS, a program with five previous sectional titles, Brockport’s run was remarkable in its own right.
The team was led by coach Paul Carella and his quarterback, Mason Scott, whose brother Ashton—now a member of the coaching staff—guided Brockport to its last sectional appearance ten years ago. Senior Ayden Matthews also had an outstanding year, finishing the season tied for first in the state (Division A) for interceptions. Ryan Miller and Dylan Fitzgerald (who gave great motivation with his pregame speeches) also earned multiple awards. Five players, including Matthews, Miller, and Fitzgerald, were named First Team All-Monroe County, along with Tyler Davis and Wesley Childs. QB Mason Scott was named to the Second Team All-Monroe County, along with Anthony Lana, Owen Rabjohn, Colin Vail, and Kevin Johnson.
The boys may not have come away with the final win, but they made history, showcased exceptional talent, and represented their school with pride.
