Pipher only had three receptions in Waverly’s 30-21 win over Chenango Forks in the Class C championship game, but all three were highlight-reel catches.

Pipher had 92 receiving yards in the game to put him over 1,000 yards on the season. His first two catches — for 33 and 37 yards — led directly to Wolverine touchdowns, and the third picked up a critical fourth down, and allowed Waverly to run out the clock in victory formation.

Defensively, Pipher had six tackles.

Duncanson was stellar on both sides of the ball in helping Tioga to its sixth consecutive Class D title — a 55-7 rout of Delhi.

Duncanson had a season-high 144 yards, and two TDs on just six carries. He also had one reception for 18 yards. Duncanson had TD runs of 78, and 28 yards.

Defensively, Duncanson had eight tackles, including five solo tackles, and two tackles-for-losses.
