That saying held true in the second round of the PSAL ‘B’ tournament as two of the top five seeds - No. 4 Riverdale/Kingsbridge and No. 5 Adams - were upset by underdog squads, and another highly regarded team, third-seeded Banneker, was taken to the limit by No. 14 Bronx Leadership.
Three double-digit seeds advanced to today’s quarterfinals at Hunter College in Manhattan.
Here’s a look at the weekend’s second-round action:
No. 3 Banneker 2, No. 14 Bronx Leadership 1
Bronx Leadership nearly upended undefeated Banneker before bowing out in a three-set loss.
The Wolves played the No. 3 seed close in a 25-20 first-set loss, then hit their stride in the second set, winning, 25-21, on the strength of two 4-0 runs.
The Lady Warriors held an early eight-point lead in the third set, but Leadership rallied to tie the set at 23, and pressed the set into extra points before losing, 28-26.
