  "account": "Tyrone Buchanan lifted the Section V Class C championship trophy, marking Hornell/Arkport-Canaseraga's first sectional title since 2017. The Red Raiders only lost one game during the 2026 season, a 22-12 defeat to LeRoy/Caledonia-Mumford on November 14. Senior James Smith credited the team's physical play and tackle ability for reversing the previous loss. Defensive coordinator Mickey Carretto's gameplan also proved crucial. Hornell/Arkport-Canaseraga took an early lead on their first play from scrimmage, scoring a touchdown with a long pass from Brenton Booth to Dylan Czarnecki. They extended their lead to 15-6 after a 26-yard touchdown run by Buchanan. In the fourth quarter, a key interception by Buchanan gave the Red Raiders the ball with just three minutes left. Buchanan sealed the win with a crucial interception in the closing moments, leading to a 22-12 victory for Hornell/Arkport-Canaseraga.",
