OK, I have to run out to my game, so let’s make this quick:
There is a good slate tonight, with plenty of games that involve teams fighting for playoff positioning. I’ll be out at one of the few where it’s only pride on the line – Clarkstown South at Clarkstown North. You can find updates for that game @LoHudInsider.
Rick Carpineillo will be out at New Rochelle-Mahopac, a rematch of the 2010 Class AA final. You can find those updates @LoHudCarp.
Lastly, Mike Dougherty will have the story on Somers-Ossining. You can read Mike’s tweets @hoopsmbd.
Other games of note tonight: Carmel and Mamaroneck fight to stay alive in the Class AA playoff race; Rye Neck looks to remain unbeaten at Albertus; and Panas will try to remain unbeaten against Tappan Zee. There are also a couple nice rivalry games in Poughkeepsie-Arlington, Ketcham-John Jay and Yorktown-Lakeland.
Check back later for final scores and recaps from all of tonight’s games.

Tappan Zee 13, Panas 7: At Panas, Joe Letizia rushed 36 times for 181
yards, scoring in the first and fourth quarter on two-yard runs.
Yorktown 29, Lakeland 28: At Lakeland, Yorktown stopped Lakeland’s Brian Prunty on a two-point conversion run with just over a minute left in the fourth quarter for the win. Nick Mariano rushed for two touchdowns and threw a touchdown pass with just over four minutes to play to take a 29-22 lead. Eric Meyreles had one rushing touchdown.
Prunty went 10-18 for 162 yards and three touchdowns. Ryan Bonifati caught all three scores and had five catches for 129 yards and three touchdowns.
Harrison 42, Pearl River 7: At Harrison, Jake Marino rushed for 59 yards and two touchdowns and Robert Waldman had an 80-yard touchdown on his only carry. Mike Amicucci and Kevin Nathanson each added rushing touchdowns to help the Huskies build a 42-7 halftime lead. Vin Nicita went 3 for 7 for 116 yards, including a 61-yard score to Mike Rossi.
New Rochelle 6, Mahopac 0: At Mahopac, Jason Ceneus returned the opening kickoff of the second half 90 yards for the game’s only touchdown. Ceneus also intercepted an Ethan Ryan pass in the end zone on Mahopac’s final drive of the game after the Indians drove into New Rochelle territory with under a minute to play.
“We’ve got to really like the way our defense is playing,” Ceneus said. “But our offense has got to pick it up. It’s annoying when we’re like this. We’ve got to get going.”
Mahopac got a 54-yard punt return from Nick Russo in the first quarter, setting up the Indians at the Huguenots 17. But three plays later, Frankie DellaCamera’s 33-yard field goal attempt sailed wide. New Rochelle’s Joe Clarke intercepted a Chris Rhue pass that was batted at the line of scrimmage, but three plays later, Christian Riefenhauser picked off a Khalil Edney pass that was also tipped. Edney’s next pass was also intercepted by Rhue, but nothing came of any of those chances.
Somers 33, Ossining 22: At Ossining, Stefano Bicknese finished with 167 yards and three touchdowns on 14 carries, including touchdown runs of 37 and 76 yards. Joe Lombardo added two touchdown runs, including a 20-yarder to cap a seven-play, 85-yard drive to open the third quarter.
Michael O’Connor hit Noah Morton with a halfback option pass for a 20-yard Ossining touchdown after Somers had opened an early 19-0 lead. Ossining came up with a defensive stop and Justin Davidov followed with a 26-yard touchdown pass to Morton with 1:26 to go before the intermission, cutting the deficit to 19-16.
Clarkstown South 14, Clarkstown North 7: At North, Zach Johnson returned a punt 44 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter to help tie the game 7-7. After Thomas Lent recovered a North fumble midway through the third quarter, Ryan McManus scored the winning touchdown on fourth down inside the 1.
The Vikings held the Rams to just 38 yards and two first downs in the second half. North’s Noah Freiden intercepted McManus on a tipped ball on just the third play of the game. The Rams drove for a touchdown, which came on an 18-yard pass from Frankie Regalbuto to Ricky Straniere, but they struggled offensively the remainder of the night.
Straniere caught five passes, but missed the fourth quarter after suffering an injury on the play prior to McManus’ go-ahead touchdown.
South had a chance to take the lead after Christian Katt’s second quarter interception of a tipped pass by Regalbuto was returned to the 23. But Johnson was stopped inches short on fourth and goal from inside the 1. Still, South coach Mike Scarpelli opted to go for it on fourth down in the third quarter rather than kick the go-ahead field goal with Shane Cronin, who had a strong game on punts and kickoffs. The decision helped the Vikings win their third straight over South in the 40th meeting between rivals and retain the Supervisor’s Cup.
“Even if you walk away with points there, you’re defeated because you didn’t get the touchdown,” Scarpelli said. “That’s why it was important to go for that again.”
Dobbs Ferry 43, Hastings 19: At Hastings, Tim Soave had 190 yards and four touchdowns and Jibril Kapadia had 102 yards and a touchdown. Brian Gardner made eight tackles and had two sacks for the Eagles. Chris Addorisio had nine tackles.

not sufferin… Unfortunately, very few coaches report scores. And if you think I’m bias, let me explain to you what happened with the Suffern game, which, I assume, you didn’t think I cared about.
I texted your coach (I text most of the coaches) and never heard back. So I exchanged several texts with coach Verboys and he gave me information, which I posted to Twitter. But it wasn’t his job to report the game as the visiting coach and he had just suffered a devastating loss.
Please don’t make it seem like I called Harrison and ignored the rest. That is false.
STATESMAN,
GOOD WIN LAST NIGHT,WHO’S NEXT?
Haywood,
Good looks. Chief and Ossining are on deck.
just watched pok jv beat arlington jv 20-14…..Poughkeepsie has some great athletes on the jv team…..gonna be very very good for awhile.
STATESMAN,
WHEN THE PLAYOFFS START,IS IT CROSS OVER PLAY IN LEAUGES?
@Haywood – thats fantastic! Btw we are tied in picks, O i forgot you copied my picks LOL
@Statesman – – You have to come to The Game! Big Joe invited everyone out for dinner after at Harrison, Soho Bistro. Try and make it early, the tailgating, a band, and The Game. If Rye beats JJCR and Tappen Zee, a league title could be on hand. If Harrison loses there could be riots LOL
HAYWOOD,you say her so has a 98 average ,,,WOW now that is impressive, because when ,I was playing sports in HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE AND ON THE PROFESSIONAL LEVEL, it was very difficult to be both a scholar and a player…..... HE DESERVES MY VOTE

I have mixed feelings about Nyack/Spring Valley because it’s a game that counts for nothing. No playoff implications. Nyack may be looking past this game while Spring Valley will definitley come out prepared and looking to win. This game is as big as a Super Bowl for Spring Valley. For Nyack, it’s just a crossover with no bearing on the post season, might as well be a scrimmage.

I said nothing about your comment because you were right over the last two games Carmel ha given up too many points and not played well. You don’t get to playoffs like this. However, some of the comments by posters here not strictly about Carmel but about a lot of others also is uncalled for. Talk football yes but leave the sarcasm snide comments and nasty inneuendo elsewhere. If we the adults on here don’t respect each others opinions how do we expect the kids reading this blog to respect others opinions. Being anonymous on a blog doesn’t exempt us fr not behaving like adults.
Haywood
Thanks again for the boost. My sons shoulder is killing him so trying to deal with that as well as all the other things I take care of. Including getting this pool closed before snowfall. Hope you have a good weekend.
BIG JOE,
ROTTEN IS A FORMER HARRISON HUSKY AND IS LEAVING BEFORE THE GAME AGAINST RYE,MAYBE WE SHOULD KIDNAP HIM,LLLLLLOOOOOLLLLL
Can’t wait for the Rye/Harrison bloggers to go to war on here. Always a fun read lol.
Big joe.
The boy isn’t sure if he wants to major in criminal justice political science or pre-law. He’s looking for a school that will allow him to double major from the start. And has narrowed it down to 4.
Also, while he wants to play in college he doesn’t want to HAVE to play because of scholarships. He wants to play because he wants too. He’s played whole seasons injured before ( broken foot, dislocated shoulder twisted knee) and right now after this year he wants to rest his body. No matter what he does sports wise or college wise I will support him.
@Avngangl – - Big Joe is a Cornelian (Cornell) graduate. Big Joe could get him into Cornell, Big Joe has done this generosity for students before. We try to do whats best for kids… Maybe there was a reason to come on here
oops, for you to come on the blog
AVNGANGL,
I HOPE NANA IS WELL AND THAT #55,HEELS AND CAN FINISH OUT HIS SENIOR YEAR,ON THE FIELD,
P.S. I’M SURE HE WILL
@10960 – since jim depletes my image
I will be the HHS fan screaming “Show No Mercy” or “Run up the Score” LOL
ROTTEN,
WHAT YEAR DID YOU GRADUATE FROM HARRISON?
Rotten
Thanks for the heads up about Joe. We’re good though. We’re looking at Rutgers, Seton Hall, Wiliam Patterson and George Washington in DC. He doesn’t want to go to a HUGE college do I’m pretty sure he won decide on Rutgers. The rest well his uncles all want him in their alma maters, which also includes Yale an Quantico for criminal justice.
YOU MUST ADMIT THAT MY LAST POST IS A GEM AND BELONGS IN THE HISTORY BOOK OF BLOGS
Rotten Tomato-
Thank for the kind thoughts and the well wishes to my players. As for my injured player, all I will say is that he is doing well. I won’t get into specifics just to maintain the privacy of my guys, like I am sure all coaches would. Thanks again!
If Rye beats Harrison this year,there should be an investigation…...
I will repeat this. If Rye beats the Huskies this year, you will have separate mobs with pitchforks and shovels coming south from Crystal Street, east from Adelphi, west from Sunnyside and North from Harrison Av. They will converge on Artie from all sides!
Suffern Scarsdale game was great. Scarsdale half back ran all over them but suffern threw and ran on them. Huge game by suffern qb and rb both very under rated players
New Ro defense looks to be something special.
here’s the deal. my son was out there playing vs. carmel and those kids were talking to them all game, they deserved the smacking they got and they decided to keep running their mouths
Oh your son was out there, huh. Intresting, does he play 3rd string reciever? Anywho, it really dosent matter, Mamaroneck isnt really going to go anywhere in the playoffs, lets be real. The only thing that they are is a speed team, they donnt have the players or the coaches to take on New Ro or John Jay.
Seems the coach of Suffern dropped the ball AGAIN! Suffern comes back from a 21-0 hole to win and he doesn’t give props to his players for a hard fought battle…come on now call the game and stats in instead of marching downtown with the team
Mahopac vs New Rochelle – Both teams had the same problem, the inability to score, was it good defense or bad play calling? Pac had 90 something yards on ofense and Nr had 57 yerds of offense. Nr has a winning reputation and maybe could be giving a pass, but the Pac coach seemed to simply be happy to be staying close in the game, Pac’s coach seems scared to let his offense to open up and use the passing game a little bit which would loosen the hole up for the running game. Pac has two big tight ends that have good hands, but if you don’t get them more throws you are hurting your team. Pac had a chance at a nice win, but the play calling on offense was horrible and cost his team a victory. The defense did their job and the coach failed at his job.
Rotten T and BIG JOE:
The fact is that in 36 years of coaching at Westlake (5) and Rye (31), a Dino Garr coached team has never, ever scored more than 49 points. So kindly stick to the facts.
Husky Pride:
Why would it be unusual for the Rye Head Coach to be at the Harrison/Pearl River game? Coach Triolo has been at Rye@ Eastchester and Rye @ JJCR. It’s quite normal and natural to scout your rival opponent. Wouldn’t you agree?
Big Joe, RT never change your style… And never listen to a perosn pointing a f – inger or saying they call it like it is.. That is like saying they are always right….LOLOL
No cry bab ies on the blog, whether man, woman, child or martian!!!
Dont like the blog find something else to do.
Funny how the blog was great when certain teams were wining…. more LOL..
And HeyI am a AVG Angel fan, bugt Big Joe & RT are legends of this Blog!!!
Must agree with Zeecoach, Mahopac play way to conservative, they have some big strong boys with good hands on their bench and the coach does not use them correctly. He runs the same offense year after year regardless of the circumstances. The only time he opens it up is when it is to late and they are trying to make a comeback or late game score. Mahopac coach heed the advice, use your guns that have and adjust your offensive scheme to get the most out of the players you have on your team. I would sat the Mahopac coach has cost his team many victory’s by his poor coaching decision making.
although this may be late to the early comments about harrison being too aggressive… basically every player on harrisons line was around 5 inches taller than the whole pearl river team. also seemed at least 30 lbs heavier. any hit wouldve hurt thoes players with the size of harrisons line.
Just
Glad your a fan. LOL
Today boys I took time to spend withy hubby. And tomorrow me and my Harley are hitting the road for maybe the last time this season. Oh hubby coming too.
Busy week this week culminating on Friday night. Carmel plays Scarsdale at home and I’ll be there cheering away.
JIM YOU ARE WRONG…I WAS AT A RYE GAME AND SAW RYE RUN UP A SCORE OF 60 POINTS WITH THE VARSITY IN THE GAME THRU THE END….NOW THAT COULD HAVE BEEN BEFORE YOU WERE BORN ,JIM, BUT I REMEMBER IT SO CLEARLY BECAUSE I FELT SO SORRY FOR THE BEAT UP TEAM ..I WANTED TO LEAVE SLAUGHTERS ARE NO FUN
SORRY THAT POST WAS FOR 10580 GARNET
@Section 1 info:
That was a rather unintelligent post. First of all, these are kids and you don’t denigrate them for whatever “string” you think they play, even if it’s 10th string. They’re part of the team. Secondly, I got to the Mamaroneck-Carmel game in the second half. I can’t speak for who said what to whom, or whatever personal fouls transpired; I do know the refs talked to both teams, and they seemed a bit flag-happy. But the story of this year’s Mamaroneck team is an uplifting one, and you coming on here taking swipes at their coaching and making it to be anything but is just plain wrong. And watch out. In a year or two this young team should be ready to play with anyone.
Question of the year, 2010 state finalist Huskies or the current 2012 Huskies? How would they matchup against each other? Who would come out on top?
bill/no recap re. suffern-
never can i remember a suffern team rallying like that. best game from a suffern qb i have seen since i can’t remember. what an arm.
Huskies:
I’d be better able to answer that after the Rye game. This year’s version may have a slight edge with their front seven, and they have a senior Nicita throwing the ball a lot more, but the 2010 had tremendous heart. Coming back after that devastating loss to run to the Dome was a great accomplishment.
Oldnintheway:
Huskies:
Same QB in 2010 and now (Nicita). He was allowed to throw in the second half of the 2010 State Championship and they almost came back against Aquinas (now in AA).
Voted Offensive MVP that year.
He should be in the MSG top 25 QB’s. I heard lots of schools calling.
Why doesn’t the coach give these kids props?gragnani is the qb – heck of a baseball player also- made all section at 3rd base last year as a junior..the suffern coach instead of calling stats in marches the team to downtown suffern for a parade??come on big win but the kids like to see there name in the papers( as well as there parents…btw no kid on the team..suffern alumn )
Huskies will come out on top this year. guarantee. real question here is how will harrsions 12th man match up when rye has the home field advantage? harrison has too much heart and pride to lose when they are this good. and the 12th has their back (crowd always matters)
The 12th man is usually the Nino friendly refs
Hey Agent – or Bob – Or Dad of the Big Boys with good hands who are sitting on the bench. You have some nerve stating that the coach of Mahopac has cost his team games. Criticize play calling, style, or whatever. But to accuse someone of being responsible for losses is disgusting. I have seen you around the County over the years and you are all about your sons… not the team. Just another guy looking out for number 1.
Maybe your boys are on the bench for a reason. Maybe they have attitude problems because they have been raised to think that the world evolves around them!
Maybe they can’t block or catch. Why don’t you let the coach know how you feel in person instead hiding on a blog. That goes for you too ZeeCoach!
BIG JOE:
Deal with facts. What year and who was the opponent?
Once you give the year and opponent, I’m happy to check the Rye records for you since I have them all the way back into the 1920’s. By the way Dino didn’t coach back then.
Don’t tell me I’m too young to remember as I am also a Senior Citizen.
Huskies:
The real question is, could the 2012 Huskies compete with the 2002 Huskies?
I played on the 2002 team, which in my opinion was the only team that could have beaten Sammy’s boys in ‘98 and ‘99. While a 2002/2012 match-up would be competitive, I see the 2002 team as superior.
I still think that if you put the 2010 Huskies up next to the 2012 huskies, the 2010 team will come out with the victory. This being said i think the 2010 huskies could beat the 2002 team.
