WHITE PLAINS - The moment didn't bother Amari Payton. Neither did that lonely zero in the loss column. The North Rockland High School senior was confident heading into Wednesday's 131-pound title match at Section 1 Div. I (large schools) boys championships. And he came away with what he always wanted - a Section 1 title.
Payton beat former Section 1 champion Ryan Ball of Somers in a 9-4 decision to improve to 39-0 this season and punch his very first ticket to the New York State championship, which will take place Feb. 28-March 1 at MVP Arena in Albany.
