Two Buffalo Public School District Principals, each of them new fathers, and two soccer teams in a playoff game.  The wager?  A case of diapers.  And the delivery of a 130-pack of Pampers Swaddlers was made to the winning  school's principal today.

Dr. William Kresse from City Honors School made good on his bet to Dr. Casey Young from Grover Cleveland High School, when Grover's Section VI Class B Boys took City Honors in a Soccer Championship playoff game.  And for the record, Grover didn't entirely beat the diapers off of City Honors, and nobody was crying in the 3 to 1 win. 

"I was hoping for a bigger box," joked Grover Cleveland High School Principal Dr. Casey Young.  "But since we became proud fathers in September the practical thought was to wager something we could use with our new bundles of joy: diapers.  These will come in handy in the days to come," he said.

Kresse said his wife was perplexed "when I walked out of the house this morning with a box of diapers from our shelf.  It was a hard-fought game and if there's any team that deserved to win it's certainly the talented young men from Grover Cleveland."

The Grover team has nearly 20 players from 14 countries on the team according to International Preparatory School at Grover Principal Kevin Eberle.  After beating City Honors School in the Section VI Class B playoffs, the Grover team was victorious against Holley in the Sectional Regional Finals in Rochester.  

They will next play Center Moriches of Long Island in the Final Four Semi-Final game at 10:30 AM on Saturday November 21^st.

City Honors has yet another shot at glory this weekend when their girls volleyball team - who beat Class V Champion Nazareth last Saturday - will play a round-robin pool tournament against Loudinville, Tioga, and East Rockaway, also on Saturday November 21st. There is no word of a wager at this time.
