Johnstown earned the No. 15 seed in the Class B girls’ bracket, while Fonda-Fultonville is one spot behind. Canajoharie is No. 9 in the Class C girls’ tournament, a spot ahead of Western Athletic Conference foe Galway.

This year’s Section II soccer tournaments are the first since 2019; no area soccer tournaments were held during the 2020-21 academic year due to restrictions related to the novel coronavirus pandemic. The lone defending champion from that year from Montgomery or Fulton counties is the Northville girls’ soccer team, which won the 2019 Section II Class D championship.

This year’s tournament action begins Tuesday.
