*****
West Senca East's Tyler Arndt, who was in this week's Super 7 Countdown for his overtime heroics in a double-overtime victory over Williamsville East in the Section VI Small School semifinal, was up to his usual tricks on Monday.
Arndt scored the game-winning goal in the Trojan's 3-1 win over top seed Kenmore West to secure the Section VI Championship.
He also added an empty netter.
Cameron Brauer tallied the lone goal for Kenmore West, giving them an early 1-0 lead in the first period.

Meeting for the third time in as many years in the Niagara Cup Championship, St. Joe's defeated rival Canisius 4-0, behind two goals from Jack Lalley.
The senior opened the scoring, firing an absolute blast from the blue line past the keeper to give the Marauders a 1-0 lead. He added his second just three minutes later.
I knew @j_lalls had a hard shot...but not this hard. ABSOLUTE BLAST. @CoachCrozier @WKBW @IcingTheFed pic.twitter.com/CUnohHlVIA
