I just wanted to post the updated scrimmage schedule for this weekend. New Rochelle will not scrimmage at Tottenville Thursday because Tottenville does not have enough practices. Also, Westlake will now host the Bronxville scrimmage because of damage to Bronxville’s field. And Suffern will host Nanuet, Spring Valley and Fieldston… Read More →

Good news. Big news tonight at 7 on LoHud.com: This year’s Super 11 will be revealed. The announcement will come during the first Varsity Insider Chat of the season — a special edition devoted entirely to the Super 11. Here’s how it will work: I’ll pop on the air at… Read More →

Like this morning’s look at Mahopac, today’s fifth and final “camp stop” is anything but. However, in this case, I did actually see Sleepy Hollow, but it was more at play than work. Steve Borys and his coaches took the afternoon off and brought the team to White Plains Bowl… Read More →

After lunch, I stopped by Irvington to check in with new coach Mike Oliva, who had a surprise in store for his players. He had told me about it over the phone, and there I was a few minutes after 2 to watch it play out. Knowing the plan, I… Read More →

My third stop of the morning came just in time. I pulled up to the walkway of Reynolds Field just as Hastings was huddling to finish practice. The Yellow Jackets are somewhat light on numbers with just 25 players grades 9-12. That includes the loss of 13 seniors to graduation,... Read More →

If you know anything about Ardsley football, you know the interest level simply doesn’t match the surrounding towns. At least, I should say, it “didn’t” match them. That is, until now. In his sixth season, just five years since there were a mere 27 sophomores, juniors and seniors in the… Read More →

This is the first of five camp stops for today, which was devoted to a tour of the Rivertowns. Suffice it to say, the proximity offered a little easier navigation. When I arrived around 10 this morning, Dobbs was on the turf next to the school. The numbers are modest… Read More →

In my calls yesterday to find out what practices were canceled and how they would impact Thursday’s scrimmages, I also tried to set a schedule to visit a few camps yesterday afternoon. One of my goals was to visit Mahopac, which was a scheduled stop for us on Day 1… Read More →

My third stop of the day came by way of a few Westchester roads I have never traveled and may never travel again. Not because there was anything wrong with them, mind you. Just because they went through a pretty desolate countryside. In fact, I’m still not sure where I… Read More →

Today’s journey only experienced two minor interruptions between Westlake and Pleasantville. That should tell you the condition of the roads because it’s not even three miles between the schools. When I arrived, Pleasantville was late in its practice on the turf at the high school after Parkway Field was deemed… Read More →

Despite everything short of the Great Wall of China blocking my entrance to the Bronx River Parkway, I drove up to Westlake this afternoon to see last year’s Class B runner-up. That was the least of my problems, as I will soon detail. But first, the story with the Wildcats… Read More →

It’s been a busy morning/afternoon here at the blog headquarters. I’ve been trying to gather information about who practiced today and who didn’t, and how that affects their scrimmage schedules. Here’s a few notes from today: — There will be changes to the scrimmage schedule. For those who don’t know,... Read More →
