Drone Soccer Team Secures 4th Place at GST BOCES Championship Tournament

The Drone Soccer Team traveled to the GST BOCES Coopers Gym Saturday to compete in the GST Drone Soccer Team Championship, a double‑elimination tournament that serves as the official seeding event for advancement opportunities within the U.S. Drone Soccer competitive circuit. This tournament carries the weight and intensity of a state‑level championship, drawing top programs from across the region.

Throughout the day, the team demonstrated strong technical skill, communication, and sportsmanship across four hard‑fought matches.

Tournament Match Results

• Win vs. STEM — 24–16, 20–10

• Loss vs. Bath — 18–26, 21–26

• Win vs. Campbell‑Savona — 21–13, 21–12

• Loss vs. Spencer‑Van Etten — 24–20, 37–17

The team’s performance earned them an impressive 4th place finish overall in the championship standings.

Next Steps on the Road to Nationals

With today’s results, the team will enter the next round of competition seeded 4th at the upcoming qualifying tournament hosted at Corning Middle School on February 7th. This event will determine which school programs advance to the Division II U.S. Drone Soccer Championship, held at SUNY Polytechnic in Verona, New York on March 8th.

Teams that qualify and excel at the Division II level will move on to represent the region at the U.S. National Drone Soccer Championship, scheduled for May 18–19 at Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Commitment to Excellence

The team continues to exhibit rapid growth in strategy, precision piloting, and engineering problem‑solving—core skills at the heart of drone soccer. Their steady progress and resilience in competition reflect their dedication and the strong support of coaches, families, and their school community.
