These two Section 4 boys' soccer teams have begun their pursuit of a 2026 NYS title
A clear shutout and a double-overtime decider put these two Section 4 teams in the race for the 2026 NYS title in November.
The 2026 Section 4 boys' soccer season has seen two intense rivalries take shape in the quest for the New York State title. Maine-Endwell and Owego, along with Lansing and Chenango Forks, have emerged as the dominant forces in their respective classes.
Maine-Endwell, the Class A champion, boasts a record of 7-6-1, outpacing Owego (7-7-1) in their head-to-head matchup. The two teams haven't faced each other since 2024, when Owego emerged victorious in both the Class AA final and STAC semifinal. However, Owego has struggled this season, posting a 4-3 loss to Horseheads recently.
Lansing and Chenango Forks, representing the Class B division, have also set their sights on the championship. Lansing, making its first finals appearance since 2021, secured an overtime victory against Chenango Valley in the semifinals. Chenango Forks, coming in as the lower seed, outplayed Oneonta 2-0 to secure their third straight sectional finals appearance.
The championship games are set to take place on November 4, with Maine-Endwell and Owego facing off in the Class A final, and Lansing and Chenango Forks set to battle for the Class B title.
