We've got a good chance, no doubt. But Sandford downplayed the idea that playing in the STAC alone will guarantee a place in the state spotlight. But I'm not going to make any predictions. Next year is next year. We'll see what we've got then.

As for the Dragons, they may have an even better shot at winning the state crown next season. As a result, Schenevus has a number of youngsters who saw significant time and came up with some big moments. Sophomore Teresa Spano got the winning goal in the state semifinal upset of defending champion Ellicottville. Sophomore Naomi Duncan scored the overtime winner that dethroned two-time defending Section Four champion Margaretville. Combine that with the return of junior goalkeeper Sarah Bleich and the Dragons won't be able to sneak up on anyone in 2001.
