With a spot in the program's 12th consecutive sectional final on the line, the top-seeded Chazy Eagles left little doubt Tuesday night, overpowering the No. 4 Lake Placid Blue Bombers 5-0 in the NYSPHSAA Section VII Class D semifinals. The win keeps Chazy's perfect 18-0 season alive and sends the Eagles back to the Section VII Class D championship game for the 12th straight year. It is the latest achievement for a program that has established itself as one of New York State's premier small-school soccer programs. The Johnsburg/Minerva Jaguars will face the Eagles in the title match on October 31 at Plattsburgh High School, with another Section VII championship on the line. From the opening whistle, Chazy showcased why it entered the match unbeaten and ranked No. 2 in New York State. The Eagles needed just three minutes to strike. Landon Duprey opened the scoring on an assist from Aiden Howell, igniting an attack that controlled the match from start to finish. Chazy dictated possession throughout the first half and kept the Lake Placid defense under constant pressure. The sustained pressure paid off again in the 24th minute when Jacoby Weeden found the back of the net with an unassisted effort, doubling the Eagles' lead and sending them into halftime with a comfortable 2-0 advantage. Any hopes of a Lake Placid comeback quickly vanished after the break. Duprey struck again in the 45th minute on an unassisted goal just moments into the second half. The standout forward completed his hat trick in the 59th minute after taking a pass from Zeke McLennan, pushing the advantage to 4-0 and bringing the home crowd to its feet. McLennan later joined the scoring column in the 68th minute, finishing an assist from Jack McAuliffe to cap a dominant offensive display and seal the win. The Eagles controlled every facet of the game. Chazy outshot Lake Placid 20-1, spent much of the match in the attacking third, and rarely gave the Blue Bombers chances to generate offense. Goalkeeper Henry Kapp made the lone save to preserve the shutout. Meanwhile, Lake Placid goalkeeper Josh Hobday delivered a courageous performance despite the result, turning away 18 shots from Chazy's relentless attack. As fog rolled across the field late in the second half, the Eagles calmly closed out another postseason triumph. The final whistle secured not only a spot in yet another championship game, but also extended one of the most impressive runs in Section VII soccer history. Now, with their 12th straight sectional final appearance secured, the Eagles stand one victory away from adding another championship to a legacy that has made them one of New York State's most consistently successful soccer programs. On Halloween night at Plattsburgh High School, the undefeated 18-0 Eagles will face the Johnsburg/Minerva Jaguars for the Section VII Class D crown, looking to continue a tradition of excellence that has become the standard in Chazy.

CHAZY, N.Y. — Under the lights on a crisp Monday night, the Chazy Eagles took another step toward extending their Class D dynasty. For nearly an hour, fourth-seeded Lake Placid frustrated the Eagles' high-powered attack and kept the match scoreless. But when Chazy finally broke through, the top seed seized control. Brynn Babbie scored the game's first goal. She later added an assist as the sixth-ranked Chazy Eagles defeated the Lake Placid Blue Bombers 2-0 in the NYSPHSAA Section VII Class D semifinal, earning a ninth consecutive trip to the sectional championship game. Despite controlling possession and creating scoring chances through the opening half, Chazy couldn't break through Lake Placid goalkeeper Mia Mezzetti, who repeatedly made big saves to keep the Blue Bombers within striking distance and keep the half scoreless. The Eagles kept pressing after the break, and their persistence finally paid off in the 58th minute. Peyton Turek delivered the setup Chazy had been searching for all night, finding Babbie for the breakthrough goal and a 1-0 lead. Once the deadlock was broken, Chazy never looked back. Eleven minutes later, Babbie turned playmaker. The Eagle forward found Marin Juneau in the 69th minute, and Juneau buried the opportunity to double the advantage and put Chazy firmly in command. The Eagles dominated from start to finish, outshooting Lake Placid 16-1 and spending much of the evening attacking in the Blue Bombers' end of the field. Mezzetti kept the visitors in the contest with a stellar 14-save performance, but the constant pressure eventually proved too much. Meanwhile, Chazy goalkeeper Calleigh Clark was called upon only once, made the save she needed, and secured the shutout as the Eagles' defense smothered nearly every Lake Placid opportunity. With the win, Chazy is one victory away from another sectional crown. The Eagles will face the second-seeded Schroon Lake-Newcomb WildHuskies in the Section VII Class D championship game at Plattsburgh High School, seeking a remarkable ninth consecutive sectional title.Gallery
