Saturday is championship day for boys and girls soccer. All the results are in and the matchups are set.

As usual with the girls, the best teams prevail. All four finals feature the No. 1 vs the No. 2 seed.

The boys are a little more mixed. Although all four top seeds made it and two of the No. 2s, there’s a No. 6 in there and a No. 14. As far as anyone remembers, that No. 14 (Somers) is the lowest seed ever in a title game.

Boys soccer will be at Arlington. Girls are at Yorktown. Here are the complete schedules.

Sorry for the delay. I had things to do late into the night last night and didn’t get time to get into the details of my game. At this point most of you have probably read my game story. If not you can find it here.

The gist is that what was supposed to be a close game was anything but. There was a little suspense at halftime when Kazumasa Ikenaga’s spectacular twirling goal against six defenders cut the lead to 2-1. But Byram cashed in a corner kick less than three minutes into the second half and it was all over.

Honestly, I wouldn’t have gone to this game if I knew there’d be a four-goal margin. For most of the year I’ve been assigned to games at the discretion of my editors. Finally in the playoffs I convinced them to send me to Byram, anticipating that it would be a great game. Whoops. The Monday morning quarterback would send me to Rye-Eastchester, which went to PKs.

Bottom line is Byram looks great. I know they haven’t done well against Rye this year but you still have to like them playing at home. Keio, while a little run down, is still one of the more disciplined teams around. The fact that Greg Shaheen carved them up so bad says something about Shaheen and Byram.

The last thing I wanted to mention was something I could only mention in passing in my article. Yesterday was the last game for Ikenaga, an underappreciated player because of the school he played for. Playing against bigger schools every day, Ikenaga put up 53 goals and 13 assists (25 and 10 this year) over the last two seasons. He singlehandedly saved Keio in a playoff against Pearl River last year and against Beacon this year. The guy had a tremendous shot and is definitely one of the best players I’ve seen in my couple of years covering boys soccer.
