Section VI released its football playoff schedule Sunday afternoon, clarifying its Class C South tie-breaking procedure in the process.

Salamanca had already clinched the Class C South No. 1 seed heading into this past weekend, but results from two other games affected the division’s Nos. 2-4 seeds.

Chautauqua Lake/Westfield/Brocton, which lost to Portville/Cuba-Rushford on Friday night, actually clinched the No. 2 seed through a three-way tie with the Panthers and Falconer/Cassadaga Valley/Maple Grove. Since all three finished with 5-2 records in the division, the first tiebreaker was point differential, which resulted in the Eagles as the No. 2 seed. After the three-way tie was broken, the tiebreaker for two teams was head-to-head record, which favored the Herd over Portville/Cuba-Rushford for the No. 3 seed due to their 34-14 victory Sept. 20.

As the CS No. 1 seed, Salamanca will host Class C North No. 4 seed Cleveland Hill in Friday’s quarterfinals. CS No. 2 Chautauqua Lake/Westfield/Brocton will host CN No. 3 Alden on Friday, CS No. 3 Falconer/Cassadaga Valley/Maple Grove will travel to CN No. 2 Medina on Thursday and CS No. 4 Portville/Cuba-Rushford will travel to CN No. 1 Newfane on Friday.

In Class AA, Jamestown wrapped up the No. 4 seed with a win over Niagara Falls on Friday night, setting up a repeat matchup this Friday with the Wolverines as the No. 5 seed at Strider Field. Also Friday, No. 2 Lancaster will host No. 7 Lockport and No. 3 Orchard Park will host No. 6 Hutch Tech. Bennett earned the No. 1 seed and a bye week.
