Sound Shore

The upset special from Thursday’s outbracket games came in Class A, with No. 22 Pearl River beating No. 11 Pelham 4-2 behind a goal and an assist from Giovanni Galvano. Next up is No. 6 Harrison. No. 18. Sleepy Hollow ousted No. 15 Panas 1-0 in A. Next up is No. 2 Somers.

In AA, there was another upset by seed, with No. 20 Poughkeepsie taking out No. 13 Yorktown 1-0. But the Pioneers now have a tough challenge at No. 4 Mahopac Saturday. Gabe Stauber had a big game for No. 16 John Jay-Cross River, with two goals and two assists in a 6-1 win over No. 17 Clarkstown North. The Indians won the right to play at No. 1 Scarsdale Saturday.

And strange as it seemed, defending AA champ Arlington had to survive an outbracket game to get to the first round. The Admirals beat No. 18 Fox Lane 3-0 and will play at No. 2 John Jay-East Fishkill Saturday. The Patriots defeated Arlington twice during the regular season.

So now we’ll be curious to see what other teams have upsets in them, especially Saturday in that first round. And will we have another Somers, a low seed that makes a run to the final like last year? Do you have an underdog team in mind that you think can do it?

Now for a different tournament: Rye Country Day, the regular-season Fairchester Athletic Association champ and the 13th-ranked team in the Western New England Prep School Soccer Association, has drawn the No. 4 seed for the NYSAIS tournament. The Wildcats will open at home against No. 5 Collegiate next Thursday at 2:30 p.m. The state final for the independent schools is set for Sunday, Nov. 7.

OK, below are Thursday’s outbracket results and the games that are coming Friday and Saturday:
