Game Balls: Nos. 4-2

Here are the final three Game Balls before I announce the Player and Coach of the Week on tomorrow’s Varsity Central Live show, which airs on Lohud.com at 7:30 p.m. Nick Mainiero of Croton-Harmon will be our special guest.
4. Jonny McGhee, New Rochelle: When you’re a veteran quarterback who’s been to the state tournament, you’re supposed to have games like this. McGhee was awesome in New Rochelle’s 21-7 win over White Plains in a AA quarterfinal on Saturday, taking over the game just before the half with his team down 7-0. The junior rushed for a touchdown to make it 7-6, then threw a 50-yard score to Tremayne Williams on the opening drive of the third, and put it out of reach with a touchdown run in the fourth. McGhee finished the day with 10 carries for 70 yards and 109 yards passing, completing 7 of 13 throws.
3. Sean Carter, Nanuet: While the Golden Knights defense turned away Edgemont when it mattered, the talented senior running back provided more than enough offense. Carter rushed for a career-high 233 yards on 12 carries with three touchdowns — on runs of 72, 90 and 28 yards as Nanuet knocked off the Panthers, 35-0, in a Class B quarterfinal. Carter outshined and a Nanuet defense that made three goal-line stands and forced four turnovers to earn a spot in the semifinals against Rye.
2. Tyrae Woodson-Samuels, Iona Prep: The area’s leading passer outfoxed the CHSFL’s perennial powers with both his arm and his legs. Woodson-Samuels, one week after getting knocked out following a blow to the head, picked apart St. Anthony’s in the Gaels’ monumental 41-21 win, rushing for 164 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries, while completing 6 of 11 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown. Amazingly his 111 yards passing was by far his season low. It’s not all about numbers.
If you’ve followed the Game Balls throughout the week, you’ve probably noticed one name is absent. Yup, he’s the player of the week. But the Coach of the Week is still up in the air.

No one from Ossining? Shame.. Maybe next time they should run up the score.
A fan,
just shut up….what does running up the score have to do with anything. Im a harrison fan that checks these blogs every once and a while and your comment just pisses me off. Are you crying that you guys dont score as much as somers, who is gonna put a butt whoopin on you guys too.
I think somers should worry about nyack before jumping to ossining…somers will not be able to beat ossining anyway
Autura has to be a lock for number 1 and the coach has to be the coach of the week. Mahopac has to be looked at as a good match against New Ro. Mahopac showed it can handle speed and they have playeda against the number 1 seed and the number 4 seed. Good luck to the remaining 4 teams and may the best team win
Wow, did anybody see the Tuckahoe score from Monday? They won 48-38 agaisnt Pawling.
Johnny Mcghee played an excellent game, and even though his stats don’t seem like much, a couple balls were dropped, and a lot of his runs he made a lot out of nothing. interesting to see how he does versus Mahopac, the conditions last saturday were bad, hopefully new ro’s passing attack will be better vs Mahopac

Retire from the blogs already, like your team.
Coach in Class C
Any reaction to Rob Magliano throwing for 389 years against Haldane on Saturday?
Does anybody know about the collegiate prospects of kids like Autera, Drinks,Tremaine Williams,Solomon or any of the other notable section 1 players?
A fan,
your comment did have a cry baby feel to it.
Anthony Spinola commits to the University of Albany. after having alot of offers from ACC schools, he had to turn them down because he feels he needs to stay close to home and close with old friends. I had a minute to talk to spinola before i posted this blog and all he had to say was “Imade Kennedy a contender in high school football, there is no doubt i can turn Albany into a Contender in the BCS.
THATS BS SCHILLING ISN’T #1. WE KILLED ROCKLAND AND SHOWED Y WE R THE BEST IN THE SECTION!! THIS WEEKEND WE R GONNA DESTORY JJEF THEN TAKE THE TITLE NEXT WEEKEND AT MAHOPAC!
SIT BACK AND RELAX BOYS THE CARMEL RAMS R BRINGING SECTION 1 BACK TO STATES!!
Anyone who knows anything about Carmel knows that we didnt post that last message…we have nothing but respect for jay
Riley Girl,
As far as Ian Solomon and Tremayne Williams go, Stoney Brook has offered Ian, and have invited Tremayne as a preferred walk-on (and believe they can create a cost-free tuition package). Tremayne has also received serious interest from Temple and Hofstra. I just sent out a highlight tape of Tremayne’s senior year so far to both at their request, and both schools have sent coaches to watch Tremayne at practice this year.
Keith:
Thanks for the update. Any word on where Lombardo is going to go?
i saw on espn.com recruiting page that tremayne williams had some big east D1 interest and same thing about Lombardo. I dont know how accurate that is though.
Temple and UB are programs that are truly on the rise. If I was a kid on the border of Mid and Majors, I would choose between these two programs. Two great coaches( if they stay) that have two historically HORRIBLE teams up and coming.Ya think Glen Lee wouldnt have started at either school for 2 + years?
i noticedd matt laccetti wasnt mentioned for a gameball this week. he had a great game abd i thought he deserved one
Ian Solomon isn’t going to Marist ? Tremayne Williams is going to end up at Syracuse. mark my words. Is anybody else in the section getting looks ?
The Qb from Blind Brook threw for 389 yards and three TD’s and no acknowledgement
