Irvington had scored 17 unanswered points to lead 17-6.
Sleepy Hollow 43, John Jay 36: At Sleepy Hollow, Dominic Onwe rushed for 221 yards in what Sleepy Hollow coach Steve Borys called “the game of his life” as the Headless Horsemen upset visiting John Jay 43-36 Saturday.
Onwe, a junior, rushed for a 70-yard score to give the Headless Horsemen a three-touchdown cushion.
“He’s an unbelievable kid,” Borys said. “The other day, he leaves practice early to try out for jazz band, makes it, and then has a day like today.”
Borys added: “He’s one of the best people I’ve ever met in my life.”
Sleepy Hollow’s Devin Lopez threw for 172 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 112 yards and two more scores.
“This was the mother of all shootouts,” Borys said. “I’ve never been in a game like that before in my life. It was one of the best high school games I’ve ever seen.”

Regalbuto also scored on a 34-yard run. Billy DeLay added 89 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries and completed an option pass for 25 more. Eddie Ruckel recovered an early fumble and DeLay scored from 11 yards out. Then McMillan caught a 51-yarder and finished off the drive with a 12-yard run, and followed that with a 53-yarder for a 21-0 lead after Carmel failed to convert a fourth-and-long. With 29 seconds left in the first half, Termine caught a short pass and broke away down the right sideline to make it 27-0.
Regalbuto scored late in the third, and Liam Donagan returned an interception 22 yards for the final touchdown in the fourth. North’s defense made it a long day for freshman Carmel quarterback Joe Rodriguez (8-for-17, 79 yards) and running back Anthony Bria (11 rushes for 29 yards).

Just a fact September 30th, 2012 at 10:48 pm
You need blocking first. New Ro o-line needs to play better whether that means players getting healthy or playing better
Just yes indeed they have to get that line together
PRINCE,

Haywood victory is already miners
Giants loss!!...
Haywood
Rye-Harrison is actually shaping up to be an interesting game. Rye has had some nice wins, and their loss to Hollow doesnt look so bad anymore. Im still picking Harrison to win, but Rye has the potential to make things interesting.
PRINCE,
AT LEAST YOU WHERE NICE ENOUGH NOT TO ASK ABOUT MV OR STEPINAC,
QUESTION; ARE YOU GROWING UP ?,LLLLLLOOOOOLLLLL
THE JETS ARE A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT….AND ITS THE COACHES FAULT …HE HAS A GREAT QB, THAT CAN SCRAMBLE LIKE VICK..AND WHEN HE PLAYS THEY HAVE 12 PLAYERS VS. 11…YOU KNOW THAT I AM REFERRING TO TEBOW ...AND GOD

Haywood….. What happen versus suffers!!!!..... Did stepinac win? ...... # hoops
lol
PPR and Haywood,
Another very, very tough loss for Step. Holy Cross is a tough team, so its not a terrible loss in that sense, but very tough in the sense of it was a very winnable game within their grasp. Turnovers at the worst times and another bad snap that led to a safety (two of them in the first 4 games!!!).
The CHSFL is stacking up to have a very, very tight race this year. St Joes by the Sea is shocking the only 3-0 team. Iona, St As and Chaminade are tied at 2-1 along with Holy Cross. Then 7, yes 7 teams are tied at 1-2 in the league. It seems pretty clear to me that St As, Iona and Chaminade are very tight as the top 3 and are far and away the top 3 teams in the league. Holy Cross and SJBS seem to be 4 and 5 and are doing a good job winning close games. Then you have Step, Xaverian, Farrell and Mount fighting for the last 3 playoff spots – one of those 4 will be on the outside looking in. Kellenberg, Fordham and Holy Trinity seem to be the bottom three teams.
Step is going to have to win at least one of their two games against Farrell and SJBS – both games will be tough.
PRINCE,
MV HAD THE LEAD AND GAVE THE GAME AWAY IN LAST QUARTER
STEPINAC CAME BACK TIED THE GAME AT 14 AND LOST ON A BAD SNAP 16-14

HAYWOOD WHAT WAS THE SORES?... OF BOTH GAME!!!
HAYWOOD. HOOPS
BOTH TEAMS LOSS BY THE SAME SCORE 16-14 ????>......#WOW!!
STEPINAC GOES TO ST.ANTHONYS THIS WEEK
My bad I meant to say how does new ro stack up against section 9 and 2,obviously new ro is in section 1.i wasn’t on the blog thanks for catching that haywood.Whos’s gonna win Bears or Cowboys?
PPR,
Step’s D actually played very well. Both of HC’s scores came in the first half after Step TOs. Majors scored both TDs for Step. TOs and a bad punt killed them…again. Its hard to even judge what the O can do because they are committing these killer TOs which kill drives and keep the O off the field. If Step can stop the TOs and snap the ball they are a very solid team…but if they keep committing TOs like this, they will have a hard time winning any of their last 4 games during the regular season.
Sect1,
Sect 2 looks like Shaker will win it easily. Shaker just blew out Shen this week 35-7. Shaker was ranked around #10 in NYS and Shen was #14. Granted, state rankings don’t mean much as evidenced by the lopsided score. MW and NFA are the favorites in Sect 9. Binghampton will likely win Sect 4 again – they played MW tough in their opener.
Orch Park will likely win Sect 6 – I think Jamestown will be their best comp. Rush-Hen is the favorite in Sect 5, but they sqeaked by Hilton 14-6 in the opener, so that could be a good rematch. Aquinas was ranked #3 in NYSWWA but just lost to St Joes (buffalo) from the buffalo catholic league. Sect 5 probably looks like the best AA league in the NYPHSAA with three very good teams.

HOW DID HOFFER PLAY!!.. WHY DO YOU THNK SO MANY TURNOVERS….. CAN THEY PULL IT TOGETHER …..
Haywood-
Not sure if you were at game but MV didn’t give it away. Suffern almost did. 2 turnovers inside 30, a failed fake punt in MV territory on the opening drive. Couldn’t convert 2 times inside the 5. MV scored on 1st drive right after the fake and didn’t score until 50 something seconds on a halfback pass after converting a 4th and 20+. I have no idea why MV tries to run inside, they need to get their playmakers in space (#7 and #9- wheeler and johnson, I believe), spread the field and then use watkins to change the pace.
HAYWOOD
YOU NEED TO SUIT UP!!.. THEY NEED THAT 4.3 FORTY SPEED YOU GOT!!...
How’s that protest goin for JJCR????
Ray Rice may not be the best football player from New Ro let alone Section One.
Jesse Arnelle
Johnny Counts
George Starks (Art Monk’s Redskin teammate)
Benjie Jefferson
To Rice’s cedit if he was played more (New Ro blowouts by half-time minimized his second half carries) he might be considered.
Top Ten (In my opinion)
Maldanado – Harrison
Rice – New Rochelle
Dimmie – Sleppy Hollow
Morris – Nyack
Bernstein – Edgemont
D-Train (Owens) – North Rockland
Gayden – Sleppy Hollow
Murray – Mamaroneck
Murray – Greeley
McAllister – Roosevelt
NOT SUFFERIN,
THANKS FOR INFO,
PRINCE,
3.3 SECONDS TO THE KITCHEN TABLE,LLLLLLOOOOOLLLLL
Ppr,
Hoffer threw the ball well, but had issues holding onto it. Step has two immediate huge issues. 1- they need to figure out snaps on punts – it cost them the xaverian game and maybe the holy cross game as well. 2- fumbles. They have a lot of new guys getting touches this year – everyone can do better…and I think they will as the season goes on. Step’s D which looked like a weakness going into the season has become very solid. If the O and special teams stop turning the ball over in bad spots, I think the D will continue to be solid. The O obviously can be effective if they stop putting the ball on the floor.
Step has some very good young talent – the sophs Miller, Majors, Kennedy and Heslop are all very good and only getting better – I think they along with some of the new juniors are only improving as the season goes on. The best scenario for Step would be beating subs and Farrell to end the season and hope sjbs looses several others so Step could sneak into the #5 seed. I don’t think anyone in the CHSFL 4-12 is beating Iona, St As or chaminade – the top 3 seem far ahead of everyone else.
MY PREDICTIONS , WINNERS….HARRISON….JJCR….POK…NEW RO… MAMARONECK….TAPPAN ZEE…SOMERS…. BRONXVILLE….NYACK…BRONXVILLE…TUCHAHOE…WESTLAKE….EDGEMONT…BLIND BROOK…..I BET 13-0
HOOPS
ARE YOU SAYING THAT STEP OFFENSE IS TURNING OUT TO BE WORST THEN THERE DEFENSE?....
BRO.YIZ:
You had a great list there, but I feel that Johnny Counts was the best of all. Ray is great, but not the speed Counts had. Johnny never got caught from behind. I have watched NR for over 50 years and Counts was the real thing. Football, Basketball, Baseball and Track. No one had the athlectic ability like Counts. Great kid like Rice. Very respectful and humble. He was a pleasure to watch.
Big Fan and co. ... With all due respect, unless you’re talking purely high school, I don’t know how it’s not Ray. You can say other athletes had this or had that, but “making it” is about so much more than speed, quickness, etc. To me, Ray has been the most successful, and that makes him the best, hands down. He deserves credit for accomplishing what he has accomplished. It’s not easy and nothing was handed to him.
I’m even uncomfortable with the assertion there were better high school players. He rushed for about 1,200 yards as a true freshman at Rutgers. That indicates to me that he was a great football player already. Only DiRienzo’s courtesy to overmatched opponents prevented Ray from producing what others before him produced.
Josh
How do you rate rice vs art monk????
I think what you guys have said is fair. Monk is obviously the better player now – IF, for whatever reason, Ray’s career ended tomorrow. But Ray is on a path to be a better player. Monk had 13,000 yards from scrimmage and 68 TDs in 16 years. Ray already has 7,000 yards and 32 TDs in four seasons. If he even had four more seasons like this, he’d be Top 25 in yards from scrimmage in NFL history. So Ray is on his way to being the better player – and a Hall of Famer.
