Saturday Sports Update
Top: Fredonia's defense was instrumental in Friday night's Section VI high school football Class C semifinal against Southwestern. The Hillbillies forced four turnovers in the second half after Southwestern rallied to tie the game at 21-21. Junior Matt Cash (left) intercepted one pass to preserve Fredonia's lead with 4:29 left, and sophomore Jameson Quinn (right) sealed the 28-21 win for the Hillbillies with an interception of his own with 1:03 to play.

Bottom left: The Buffalo Bills have two starters who are listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Jacksonville Jaguars. One of them is wide receiver Cole Beasley, who is dealing with a rib injury. Bills head coach Sean McDermott said on Friday that Beasley is believed to have suffered the injury during the second half of last week's game against the Miami Dolphins, a game in which he had 10 catches for 110 yards.

Bottom right: He is no longer a Buffalo Sabre, but that didn't stop Jack Eichel from taking time to thank the Sabres organization and its fans in a video he posted this morning on his Twitter account. Eichel, who was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday, says the Sabres "game me the opportunity to live out a childhood dream," and that even though the Sabres fell short of their goals when he was there, Eichel said that the support he has received since being traded has been "incredible."
