Semifinal Matchups Across the Classes
In the AAA division, the semifinal slate pits Mamaroneck against Ketcham and Scarsdale against Arlington, setting up a clash of longtime rivals. The AA bracket sees Yorktown take on Rye while Horace Greeley meets Mahopac, promising tight contests. Class A will feature Pleasantville versus Byram Hills and Pearl River up against Pelham, while the B side matches Blind Brook with Pawling and Briarcliff against Putnam Valley.
Championship Weekend and the Intersectional City Tournament
The championship schedule runs from May 26 through May 31, with the AAA final slated for May 30 and 31 at Purchase College, the AA, A and B title games all scheduled for the same two days at North Rockland High School, and the CHSAA Intersectional City Championship — a double‑elimination tournament — taking place at St. John’s University.
Iona Prep, a perennial powerhouse, is also entered in the Intersectional/City Catholic championship, adding another layer of excitement as the team looks to extend its season. With a packed slate of games and storied venues, the upcoming week promises memorable performances and a celebration of high school baseball across Section 1.
