Chazy captured its 11th state championship with a 4-0 victory over Northville in the Class D boys’ soccer final on Sunday at Middletown High School.
The win capped an undefeated 24-0 season for Section 7’s Chazy, according to Yahoo Sports.
Chazy broke the game open early when Zeke McLennan scored in the 14th minute.
Aidan Howell added another goal just one minute later to put Northville in a two-goal deficit.
Landon Duprey extended the lead with two goals in the second half to solidify the championship win.
Northville concluded its season with a 20-2 record, with both losses coming at the hands of Chazy.
Despite the defeat, Northville senior Niko Sevastakis expressed gratitude for the team’s postseason run.
“Most people don’t get to this point,” Sevastakis said to the Times Union.
“So I’m happy that we at least played the max amount of games we possibly could have – and I wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else,” he added.
Northville entered the final after a series of challenging matches, including a comeback against Edmeston Central and an overtime win over Smithtown Christian.
The Falcons had previously reached the state final in 2022.
Northville coach Steve Clapper praised the local community for rallying behind the players throughout the tournament.
“The community support has just been incredible,” Clapper told the Times Union.
“I think it’s really amazing to see the community come together and really support these guys who deserve that,” the coach noted.
Clapper remains optimistic about the program’s future, citing a returning group of underclassmen.
“We’ll be back here again,” Clapper stated regarding the team’s prospects for next season.
“No doubt,” he concluded.
