It was 20 years in the making as the Plattsburgh North Stars celebrate their first-ever Empire Football League Championship with a 13-10 win over the Watertown Red & Black to avenge last year's defeat in the title game. The North Stars would take the early 3-0 lead on Mitch Ryder's 40 yard goal. The lead would hold until midway through the second quarter when the Red & Black would answer with 10 unanswered points to take the 10-3 lead into the locker room. In the third quarter, the North Stars would trim into the deficit on a Mitch Ryder field goal that squeaked over the crossbar to make it 10-6 Red & Black. The North Stars would get the game-winning score 4 minutes into the fourth quarter Touchdown reception by Trevor St. Clair. The Red & Black did have a chance to send it into overtime as they pushed a 30-yard field goal attempt wide with 17 seconds remaining and with the celebration was on. Gallery
