Defending New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class D finalist Maple Grove will open its 2017 football season at home Friday, Sept. 1 against nonleague Gowanda/Pine Valley.

That matchup will highlight a 25-game opening night as announced by Section VI on Wednesday.

Jamestown, playing in a Class AA league no longer divided between North and South, will open that same night on the road at Frontier.

In Class D on opening night, Randolph will travel to Franklinville to take on Franklinville/Ellicottville, Frewsburg will host Cattaraugus-Little Valley and Salamanca — dropping down to Class D this season — will play at Portville.

Nonleague games on opening night include Southwestern traveling to Mayville to take on newly classified Class D Chautauqua Lake, Fredonia/Westfield/Brocton hosting East Aurora/Holland in Brocton and Silver Creek/Forestville hosting Wilson in Silver Creek.

Also on opening weekend, Clymer/Sherman/Panama will host nonleague Cassadaga Valley/Falconer in Panama on Saturday afternoon.

Randolph will play its first of three home games in four weeks Friday, Sept. 8 against Chautauqua Lake while Cassadaga Valley/Falconer will play its Class C South home opener Saturday, Sept. 9 against Gowanda/Pine Valley in Sinclairville.

After visiting Hutch-Tech in a rare Thursday game on Sept. 7, Jamestown will play its home opener Friday, Sept. 15 against Clarence. The Red Raiders will complete a nonleague home-and-home with Springville dating back to last season at Strider Field on Friday, Sept. 22 before hosting Williamsville North in another Thursday night game Sept. 28. Jamestown plays its fourth straight home game against defending Section VI Class AA champion Lancaster on Friday, Oct. 6 before closing the season at rival Orchard Park on Friday, Oct. 13.

Southwestern will host Class C South foe Allegany-Limestone in the Trojans’ home opener Friday, Sept. 15.

Due to there being nine teams in Class D this season, each school will not face each other.

Frewsburg will not have to face defending champion Maple Grove or perennial power Randolph in the regular season. The Red Dragons avoid the Bears and Cattaraugus-Little Valley; Franklinville/Ellicottville will not face Portville or Cattaraugus-Little Valley; Chautauqua Lake avoids Clymer/Sherman/Panama and Salamanca; Portville will not face the Titans or Wolfpack; Cattaraugus-Little Valley avoids the Red Dragons and Titans; and Randolph will not face the Bears or Salamanca.

Defending Class B champion Dunkirk will travel to Southwestern for a nonleague tilt with the Trojans on Friday, Sept. 29. Class C champion Cleveland Hill will host Southwestern in a rematch of the sectional championship game on Saturday, Sept. 23 in Cheektowaga.

Jamestown will play in Class AA with Niagara Falls, Lancaster, Hutch-Tech, Bennett, Orchard Park, Clarence, Lockport, Frontier, Williamsville North and Niagara Wheatfield. The Red Raiders will not face Niagara Falls, Bennett, Lockport or Niagara Wheatfield during the regular season.

Class B-2 will include Dunkirk, Olean, Springville, Albion, Fredonia/Westfield/Brocton and Depew.

Class C South will consist of Cassadaga Valley/Falconer, Gowanda/Pine Valley, Southwestern, Allegany-Limestone and Silver Creek/Forestville.
