The Columbia Boys’ Soccer team defeated Averill Park 2-0 on Tuesday afternoon in the Section II Class A Final at South Colonie to win its first sectional championship since 2003 when the Blue Devils beat Shenendehowa. Brady Bell ’23 and Cody Hamilton ’26 scored goals for Columbia and goalkeeper Alexander Roy ’25 earned the clean sheet.
Columbia improved its record this season to 11-2-6 and they are now ranked #15 in New York State.
Columbia advances to the New York State Public High School Athletic Association regional on Saturday, November 5 when they will face the winner of Christian Brothers Academy/Massena at Schuylerville High School at 11:00 a.m.
This marks Columbia’s second Section II title this fall. The girls’ soccer team also won a championship on Friday.
Congratulations!

When the @BlueDevils_CHS1 and @AverillParkCSD boys #soccer teams met in the regular season, no winner was decided. But when the two sides squared off again Tuesday night to decide the Section II, Class A champion, one squad would emerge victorious.https://t.co/0HlTovQmPE pic.twitter.com/okWO8XJn8M
