M-E trio, Korutz named it Class A First Team

A week ago the New York State Sports Writers Association revealed the All-State Teams for Classes B, C, and D.  Wednesday it was Class AA and A.  While Section IV had a very strong showing in the lower classes, it was a smaller contingent earning state honors as Section IV has only nine teams between the two classes.

In Class AA Elmira's Allah Sessions (LB) is the lone Section IV representative on the First Team.  In Class A Shane Burcume (OL), Brady Wisniewski (LB), and Michael Palmer (DB) all from Maine-Endwell as well as Johnson City's Adam Korutz (DL) were named to the First Team All-State.
