Canandaigua's Great Season Ends
Garden City dominated the NYS Championship game, securing their 10th title with a commanding 14-5 victory over Canandaigua. The Trojans set the tone early, scoring the first 12 goals of the game and holding the Gray Wolves scoreless through halftime. Junior Charlie Koester led the offensive charge with 3 goals and 3 assists, while sophomore Anthony Asaro (4g-1a) and freshman Ben Smith (3g) also delivered standout performances. Canandaigua fought back in the second half, with AJ Sterman, Drew Williamee, Patrick Olvany, and Jack Stanney contributing to their five-goal effort, but the deficit proved too large to overcome. The victory marked Garden City’s second title in three years, while Canandaigua closed out their season at 19-3, reflecting on a strong campaign despite falling short in their third state finals appearance.
