OK, we’re back for another day of football today after an eventful Friday night. Nyack unseated Rye atop (or, depending on your previous opinion, near the top) of Class A. Pelham easily dispatched of Lourdes, jumping in front of the overmatched (and, yes, very overhyped) Warriors 26-zip at half. And Mahopac survived a very tight game to win on the road at Clarkstown North.
There are no matchups of unbeatens today like those three were. Still, we’ll be out covering four games live: Roosevelt-Sleepy, Westlake-Kennedy, North-Rockland-Suffern and Harrison-Eastchester. I’m covering the latter but will stop by somewhere beforehand. So please check out my Twitter page at Twitter.com/lohudinsider for updates.

well considering pleasantville and croton have been in different classes for a few years now, that statement is actually flawed. It’s not like pville-cliff where you face each other every year yet one team seems to have the advantage day in and day out. But a matchup that occurs one year and probably won’t happen again since one will most likely change classes is kind of hard to say “long time since”.
Was at the Dobbs-Rye Neck, Westlake-JFK, and Stepinac-Hayes games this weekend…Dobbs and Stepinac for the most part walked over the opponents so didn’t have to stay the entire time…needless to say both had theirs and were actually giving the other team a chance to get back into the game with bonehead mistakes…but Westlake-JFK was a true classic. Back and forth and had some great running and some great passing.
The Yonkers Schools went 1-5
Roosevelt 20 – Sleepy Hollow 0
Liberty 54 – Riverside 0
New Rochelle 28 – Gorton 0
Byram Hills 41 – Yonkers 6
Spring Valley 40 – Saunders 0
Scarsdale 35 – Lincoln 6
198 – 32, YIKESSSSS
Why not form a Yonkers North and a Yonkers South set of teams????
JUST RETURNED HOME FROM THE HARRISON EASTCHESTER GAME, AND AT FIRST I WAS THRILLED SEEING AND MEETING THE MCCILLICUDDY FAMILY AS HARRISON DEDICATED THEIR NEW FIELD, BUT THEN WAS FRIGHTENED BY THE GREAT PLAY OF THE EASTCHESTER EAGLES. FOR THE FIRST TIME ,I FELT THAT MY HUSKEYS COULD LOOSE , THE EAGLES WERE GREAT THE ENTIRE FIRST HALF BUT THE 100 YARD KICK OFF RETURN BY # 23 broke it wide open. The harrison QB had at least 5 missed snaps, and the harrison pass defense needs work the loss of 4 harrison starters made TANNERS LIFE DIFFICULT and THE QB RAN THE BALL MORE THAT TANNER , MUCH TO THE SURPRISE OF MOST OF THE FANS…THE NEXT 2 WEEKS SHOULD BE EASY , AT FULL STRENGTH HARRISON SHOULD ROMP UNTIL THE BIG GAME RYE AND ITS TIME FOR REVENGE

I give the Eagles a lot of credit for their first half play.It wasn’t just sloppy play by the Huskies.They totally dominated Harrison up front with their running game.Everybody wants to know what Artie said at half time that basically turned the tables.Eastchester was never the same in the second half.Eastchesters a tough team,Decarlo is a player,would beat Rye by 7….

josh if harrison and nyack both go 6-0 whats the tiebreaker for the first seed?
in defense of bronxville
scoring 50 points on a team isnt reallly that bad if the starters were pulled relatively soon.you cant fault a third string rb for trying his best and to also show the coaches and his family what hes got
There are too many butt hurt losers that write on these blogs. Why don’t you just let the players play, shut up, and realize that its high school football. I bet you Panthers Dad watched his own son sit on the sideline today and that is why he is upset. It’s a shame but its the truth, so please everyone stop making up fake names trying to cover up your identity, A.K.A any father who watched his son get beaten by Bronxville this year, man up and respect the hard work these kids go through. There are plenty of other kids sitting at home with an XBOX remote in hand not enjoying what we have on Saturdays. Stop ruining the only good things left in the new generation because you happen to be a sore loser. Give credit where credit is do, keep your negativity to yourselves and stop trying to re-live your life through your kid. Respect the fact that you get to watch your kid play the greatest game in the world.
I attended both Nyack and Harrison wins this weekend. Congratulations to both teams. I is a shame you do not get the opportunity to play each other in the regular season. Hopefully you will square off in the post season. Do not count Rye out. Eck to Pickup is dangerous, could spell trouble for Harrison in the “Big Game”. Eastchester is always ready to play but their lack of big bodies is catching up to them. Ricky Delgado is sorely missed from the interior line. Nyack vs. Roosevelt next week should be a good one.
john, you just posted, you a “butt hurt” loser too? Just askin, lol!
just a fact likes little boys
nah, just your mama, tell her I said hi!
When Secretariat ran away from the field in the Belmont Stakes, was anyone screaming at the jockey to pull back, hold him up, slow him down? We have kids who want to play, to score touchdowns, to make memories. Let them play the game.
Way to adjust Harrison. The turning point of the game happened in the second quarter. Eastchester was moving the ball at will…ready to go up by two TD’s. Harrison called time out. They then promptly got rid of the sit back and read to attack. What a difference! Hopefully Harrison stays in that type of D for good.
Every week its the same BS, people coming on here criticizing other teams for “running up the score”. I’m sick of it. No coach purposely runs up the score, their back ups just do well against the other teams starters and back-ups.
I am sure Josh will put this as a link later, but this is a great article about Ray Rice for those looking for a morning read.
http://www.lohud.com/article/20109260366
When is it okay to hang a half of 100 on someone?
bronxville does not run up the score. 50 points isnt running up. i hope they put up 75 next time just to prove their dominance. sports isnt about being nice
Must read article on Ray Rice.The man is a class act,incredible athlete,role model for all.
Nah bro I’m not “butt hurt” I am just an outsider looking in at you fools.
Who is more the fool, a fool who blogs or the fool who reads the fools blog?
I have read these blogs for the past 2 years and finally I felt the time was right. It’s just upsetting to see you guys do this crap.
John is actually right.
I’m not a major mark fan for Bronxville, but in their defense, if they pulled the starters early, and the score was STILL 50-0 then there’s nothing more that you can do.
Skip Violante at Dobbs back during the Championship run would keep the starters in the game until 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter, despite the game being a blowout, to mock the opponent and to make a statement.
Westlake hung a 50 spot against Tappen Zee in 2004; A class C team beat a class A team 50-0. You figure bigger schools usually get more numbers and depth, but that proved no meaning (for the record, those starters were pulled out early too).
Sometimes it’s hard to not score on a team that isn’t even trying to stop it. Many will quit and just stand out there. If the back ups and 3rd stringers and everyone else keep moving the ball and shutting out the other team, well there’s not much you can do but pray the losing end wakes up realizes they have to do something about it. The winning coach could put a random guy in at qb or any skill position, but that could lead to a major injury since that kid doesn’t know the position.
I bet if you ask the players and coaches from the losing end of a blowout, they’ll say its their fault for not doing anything about it, and will vow to do better next game. To have parents or random fans come on here and blog about what’s happening, if you can do a better job, then YOU try to do it.
John I’ll bet if you check your ip address …this is not your first posting and in some way you are connected to Bxville ....
SATURDAY, we saw the FUTURE HARRISON RUNNING STAR #22 HILLARD HE IS FAST AND GUTLESS ARTIE HAS TO STRENGTHEN EN HIS LEGS AND IF SO YOU ARE LOOKING AT AN ALL COUNTY RUNNING BACK AND HE IS ONLY A SOPHMORE
Congrats to Harrison on a very good game…they are a tough bunch of kids. Eastchester played hard and they also have some tough kids but they need to make some changes….they have a few tomato cans out there that don’t want to block and don’t like to tackle…and if changes are not made the only thing Eastchester will make is tomato soup! Eastchester can still have a good season but need to make some adjustments.
WHERE ARE YOU JIM, I WAS SURPRISED BY A VERY NICE MAN WHO APPROACHED ME AND SAID,”ARE YOU BIG JOE” MY WIFE DID NOT KNOW HOW FAMOUS I AM HA HA BUT 10580 TOLD ME THAT YOU WERE POOPED ON BY A BIRD AT THE NYACK RYE GAME I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD POST WITH THE NAME OF POOPER NOW ….....THIS IS FUN
Glad to see the yonkers football teams doing a great job !So glad they laid off all there teachers so they can keep their sports.Way to have your priorities in line.
DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THE PAST OF DONNIE DAVIS , THE NYACK SENSATION,.....I WAS TOLD THAT HE PLAYED AT DON BOSCO IN JERSEY OR A SIMILAR OTHER ALL NATION TEAM…WHY WOULD HE LEAVE A NATIONALLY RANKED TEAM AND PLAY FOR NYACK ….PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG
http://www.maxpreps.com/athletes/RutozsEclEeKLaJ2aNWahQ/football-fall-08/profile-donny-davis.htm
10960 makes a nice class A breakdown on the latest thread
CATS, COULD YOU LOOK UP HIS PROFILE FOR ME ,....THANKS
CATS, SOMEONE ANSWERED MY QUESTION ABOUT DAVIS, HE DID PLAY FOR DON BOSCO THE #1 TEAM IN THE NATION, AND MY SOURCE TOLD ME THAT HE LEFT CAUSE THE COST IS 15,000 AND NYACK IS 0 , BUT MY FIRST SOURCE TOLD ME THAT DONNIE DAVIS WAS GIVEN A SCHOLARSHIP AND LEFT FOR NYACk FOR DIFFERENT REASONS DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY ??????
im just taking a guess but he probably went to Don Bosco because they are the number 1 team in the nation and why would you pass on a scholarship to play on that team? and he probably came back to Nyack because he wasnt playing much because Don Bosco is that good
Don Bosco is a high school team in name only. They could beat most small colleges. Outstanding group of players.
BIG JOE, YOU SEEM TO BE VERY CURIOUS ABOUT DONNY. WHY DON’T YOU COME SIT NEXT TO ME AT THE NEXT GAME AND I WILL GIVE YOU A BRIEF HISTORY. I AM THE BEST SOURCE BECAUSE I AM HIS MOM. I’LL BE THE ONE WEARING THE WHITE NYACK JERSEY #26 WITH DAVIS ON THE BACK.
thanks mom, you are very kind, and i will buy the snacks, regards and keep that great son of yours clean and healthy , he just might be another RAY RICE.
Mrs. Davis,
Just wondering, what do you feed this kid? He’s a machine!!!!
BIGJOE,
What is your point on Donny Davis? He is a great kid, a solid leader and as everyone saw on Friday a great football player. If you watched the video interviews you can see what a class kid he is.
I have met his mom and she is at every game cheering for Nyack. She is also a wonderful person and Donny gets his great smile from her.
pville hit rock bottom on saturday wow
wingtguy, I was just caring for the DAVIS family and hoped that we will have a new NFL star from section 1 then he will get a multimillion dollar contract and they can move to HARRISON , with all the rich people like RAY RICE BALTIMORE RB
I hear that the Nyack neighborhood is not too shabby anyway with a very high upscale region they call upper Nyack. Anyway, Big Joe your out of line here, seriously.
powerhouse, it was a joke cant you see that sorry if i fooled you
BIG JOE.
The nature of your inquiries were not appropriate nor were they funny. Why would you ask about someone’s background on a public blog?
Sorry BIG JOE, I have supported you other times, but you stepped over the line on this one.
Nyack is one of the most beautiful towns in NYS and the country. Many people enjoy living here and are not looking to leave. Just because everyone in Harrison has money doesn’t make it a better place to live. Nyack’s diversity is what makes it so great! It was also rated by a top travel website as one of the coolest small towns in America!
Yes, yes your right I have blogged before….... good call man, you really got me.
I LOVE NYACK AND ALWAYS GO TO THE NYACK GAMES EARLY TO ENJOY THE TOWN AND THE RESTAURANTS, MY PREVIOUS COMMENT WAS A JOKE , WHY ARE PEOPLE SO SENSATIVE
ASKING MOM DAVIS, DOES DONNIE KNOW MY RELATIVE ALL STATE LINEBACKER FOR DON BOSCO , DEVITO , WHO HAS ALREADY 16 SACKS FOR THIS YEAR
