The 2026 Section 2 Class A football playoffs are set to begin, with Troy High School emerging as a top contender behind quarterback Kyair Carr. Carr, a senior signal-caller, aims to guide the Flying Horses to a championship title.
The playoff bracket features several strong teams from the Capital Region, but Troy's offense, led by Carr's dual-threat ability, has drawn significant attention. The team finished the regular season with a strong record and enters the postseason as a favorite.
Section 2 Class A competition includes perennial powers such as Albany Academy and Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake, setting up potential marquee matchups in the later rounds. The playoffs kick off this weekend, with Troy hosting a first-round game.
