Below is the first part of our Week 9 predictions. They will conclude — along with our season-long picks contest — with the five Section 1 championship games. That is, whenever and wherever those games are played… For now, let’s pick eight more games, starting with “Wednesday’s” Class AA and… Read More →
All four Class AA and A semifinal games have been moved to Wednesday because of the weather. The decision was made by Section 1’s football committee. Member Steve Young said several schools are without power and closed today, which would prevent those teams from practicing prior to their games. Young… Read More →
There was so much to choose from this week, but I definitely put more emphasis on players who performed well in playoff games, and even more emphasis on those who came through in big, tight games. Honorable mention — • Christian Conway, Bronxville: The senior rushed for six touchdowns in… Read More →
The CHSFL calculated its rankings and released its playoff seedings tonight. St. Anthony’s earned the No. 1 seed by a large margin but was followed by Stepinac at No. 2. Iona Prep earned the No. 4 seed. Both Stepinac and Iona will host home playoff games in the quarterfinals this… Read More →
I was off today so I didn’t attend either of the games. Both were noteworthy for their own reasons. Bronxville advanced to Saturday’s Class C championship game, setting up a rematch with Dobbs Ferry. The two teams have proven they are far above the heap in C. Now, they can… Read More →
The 2011 Metro Classic is scheduled for 3 p.m. this afternoon at Archbishop Molloy in Queens. The Burb’s (Westchester and Rockland Counties and Long Island) square off with The Boro’s (New York City). The Boro’s feature some of the top players from the city, including Christ the King’s Omar Calhoun,... Read More →
Finally, some clarity for this next week’s schedule. The dates, sites and times have been finalized for all five Section 1 championship games and the DeMatteo Bowl games in Classes AA and A. All of the DeMatteo Bowls will be played at John Jay-Cross River High School. Here’s the schedule:... Read More →
Through two days, the playoffs have provided some drama and excitement. New Rochelle and Lourdes can speak to the highs of it, White Plains and Irvington to the lows. But…BUT…we’ve yet to see a genuine upset. Will it happen today? You’d have to figure at some point some underdog will… Read More →
There are six games on tonight’s slate, including one playoff game as Irvington — yes, Irvington — opens up in the Class B playoffs. It’s been an impressive season for the Bulldogs, who hope to continue that tonight against a tough team in Lourdes. I will pass along whatever updates… Read More →
I don’t know if everyone saw it or not on Twitter, so I wanted to add it here: Croton-Harmon and Briarcliff have been pushed back an hour and will now start their Class B semifinal tomorrow at 2:30. The game will still be played at Valhalla High School. Apparently, Croton… Read More →

Rain? Please. It is not an issue. Well, it’s not the issue. The real reason, in my opinion, you won’t see any postponements today is because there’s no room for them. With the semis scheduled for Tuesday, Section 1 has very little to no flexibility. So it’ll be a slog-fest… Read More →
The Section 1 playoffs begin on Thursday with the Class AA and A quarterfinals as 28 playoff teams vie for five championships. The finals will be held Nov. 5 and 6 at Mahopac High Schools. Here’s a forecast of which teams can get there and a look at players and… Read More →
