Canandaigua Braves
Record: 7-11
Class: AA2

Matchup: After earning a first round bye, the Bulldogs will face the winner of No. 6 Clyde-Savannah/No. 11 Kendall on Friday in the quarterfinals.

Marcus Whitman Wildcats
Record: 1-17
Class: B2
Seed: No. 10
Matchup: Marcus Whitman will square off against No. 7 Attica on Wednesday night. Despite their record the Wildcats continue to play hard for second-year coach Jason Ellis, and if Attica enters the contest looking ahead to a matchup with No. 2 Wayland-Cohocton they could find themselves making an early exit from the sectional tournament.
Midlakes Screaming Eagles
Record: 7-11
Class: B1
Seed: No. 6
Matchup: The Screaming Eagles hit the road to face No. 3 Pal-Mac on Saturday in the third meeting of the season for these Finger Lakes East foes. Midlakes will need to contain the 3-point shooting of Pal-Mac's Cody Argus, who averaged 21.5 points and hit a combined 12 shots from beyond the arc in the two previous meetings.
Naples Big Green
Record: 6-12
Class: C2
Seed: No. 10
Matchup: The Big Green draw No. 7 Campbell-Savona for their first round game on Tuesday night. After graduating 11 players from last year's team, a win for Naples could be huge for the future post season confidence of the numerous players who will be back in 2012-13.
