Happy Thanksgiving

The end of the football season is nearing. But today we got a late entry for the upset of the year.
Cardinal Hayes stunned Mount St. Michael in their annual Turkey Bowl matchup today at Mount, ending a 26-year losing streak. The final was 39-34, as you can see plastered across the Cardinal Hayes web site.
Stepinac beat White Plains, 29-14, and Fordham Prep ended its two-year skid by beating Xavier. Stepinac-White Plains was shown live on our web site. The Fordham Prep was on MSG and you can watch the replay tonight at 10 or tomorrow.
Other than that, I spent the day with my family and barely watched the NFL games. I’m really excited for this weekend’s trip to Syracuse. The state finals at the Carrier Dome is my favorite event of the year. But the players and the interest built for Rye and Croton-Harmon has made me even more eager. I’m sure if you’re a Croton fan, turkey never tasted this good.
Thanksgiving has become my favorite holiday. It’s not because of the football. It’s really because, in the last few years, I’ve learned to understand the meaning of saying ‘thank you.’
Those are two words that sometimes lose meaning and are never really said enough. By this point, you’ve probably stuffed yourself with turkey and sat in front of the television. I hate to be a preacher, but before the day is over, take a minute to thank somebody close to you and think about all the things you appreciate in life.
I want to say thanks to all of you for being loyal readers and contributors to this blog. It’s been an incredible experience and I owe you all a huge debt of gratitude for your support.
We’ll have a huge spread in tomorrow’s Journal News to preview the weekend’s action, so go pick it up. I’ll be setting up Christmas decorations with my wife. Not looking forward to checking all those bulbs.

Hey david Cohan,
First off your not making yourself look good my trying to campaign like that. Second off you are a PREP school, which means that every single player should be in college! Also, telling these teams to come “see you” big tough guy huh..Keep talking on ur little computer…cya

The Stepinac-White Plains Turkey bowl was a fun experience as usual. Maurice Easterling put on a great show on both sides of the ball. What did other people think of the new stadium/home for the game? By the way, I think Maurice Easterling’s performance could go down as one of the better two way performances in the Turkey Bowl in a long time. I know Rashaad Slowley had a really big day two years ago, I also remember Mike Summers having a great game on both sides of the ball over 10 years ago. Anyone else remember any remarkable Turkey bowl performances? Maybe Spencer Ridenhour?
Too bad none of the local section 1 teams have Turkey Bowl rivalries. I think a couple teams used to play on Thanksgiving day – maybe it was portchester/mamaroneck. I believe Darien/New Canaan have a great Turkey Bowl rivalry.
Hey David i bet you never hooked up with a girl. haha that sucks.
I mean Sean Donnelly starts for you guys….. Cmon
Sean donnelly is 6’6 280 pds. i beleive. nothin to laugh at there. One section 1’s best OL in 07, Jake schapp transferred to Trinity pawling and didnt even start there. there line averages 6’5 275 pds. across. Their LB, shayne skov is ranked as the top prospect in NY, and 33rd in the entire country. Dillon Quinn is 6’7 300, ranked as the second best prospect in NY, and 110th in the country.
