Salamanca saw an emotional 2023 season come to a heartbreaking end in the NYS semifinal. The Warriors were shutout 42-0 by eventual state champion Waverly and with the result came the loss of a number of key pieces to the team. In turn, entering the 2024–25 season, the big question being posed for the Warriors was whether or not they would be able to recreate the success. Spoiler alert: they did, and then some.

Salamanca’s perfect run through the Section VI Class C South league has garnered the Warriors plenty of postseason awards. Senior quarterback Maddox Isaac was named the league’s Offensive Player of the Year, while seniors Zachary Trietley and Cory Holleran were named co-Defensive Players of the Year. Fellow senior Warrick Kyler was named the league’s Lineman of the Year. Click for the full run down.

For the second consecutive year, the Salamanca football team has reached the summit of Section 6 Class C, knocking out a long-time rival in the process. The Warriors rounded out their perfect record in sectional play by knocking out fellow C South competitor Portville/Cuba-Rushford in dominant fashion at Highmark Stadium. It was the biggest stage of the season for Salamanca coach Chad Bartoszek and his players, but when it came down to it, the Warriors won every little battle.
