The small schools move center stage today with three of the biggest games of the Class B and C/D seasons.
I’ll start at Gould Park in Dobbs Ferry to see the defending Class C state champion take on high-powered Woodlands, the team it beat last year 39-0 in the Class C semifinals. At night, I’m heading to Tuckahoe for a night game against rival Bronxville. You can find those updates and more @LoHudInsider. If you have a Twitter account and have updates to share, tweet me at that account and I’ll share them.
Adam Berger is scheduled to cover the latest meeting between rivals Mamaroneck and Port Chester, which are both off to 4-1 starts. You can find him @LoHudBerger. Mike Dougherty is headed to Lakeland and Sleepy Hollow to catch the red-hot Headless Horsemen. You can find him @hoopsmbd.
As always, enjoy the football and check back this afternoon this evening for results and recaps.

Lourdes 21, Pleasantville 6: With the Class B league championship on the line, Pleasantville coach Tony Becerra was happy to go into half down one score after intercepting a Lourdes pass with a minute remaining in the second quarter. But what he thought was a safe call turned into disaster when his fullback fumbled on the next play. The Warriors recovered and returned 10 yards for the touchdown by Lourdes’ Nick Wynne.
“We got punched in the gut and it took the wind out of our sails,” Pleasantville coach Tony Becerra said.
The Panthers would let up a 50-yard punt return by Chris Keenan for a touchdown in the third quarter to go down 21-0. They scored their only touchdown on a five-yard run from Nick Pedlow, but the deficit was already too much to overcome.
“You can’t make those kind of mistakes against a team of that caliber. It’s not going to end well,” Becerra said.
Pedlow had 10 rushes for 39 yards and the touchdown. Anthony Godino went 5 for 13 for 54 yards. The Pleasantville offense had 103 total yards. Charlie Montomgery and Greg Drillock had interceptions for the Panthers.
Bronxville 7, Tuckahoe 0: At Tuckahoe, Luke Marrone caught a 17-yard touchdown pass from Mike Dresdale on the first play of fourth quarter to break a scoreless. He leaped to snatch the ball away from Tucakhoe’s Kayvon Reid. It was Marrone’s first game played this season. The Brown-bound senior, who started for Bronxville’s 2010 state championship team as a sophomore, broke both bones in his left forearm during practice in August.
Tuckahoe outgained Bronxville 260-158, but the Tigers lost two fumbles and turned the ball over on downs in Broxnville territory on three other possessions. They drove 72 yards to the Broncos’ 12 to open the third quarter, but Nick Reisman was tackled for no gain on fourth down by Andrew Jones.
Tuckahoe had possession near midfield with about two minutes remaining when Michael Castracucco was intercepted by Parker Lipnis to stop the Tigers’ final drive. They played much of the second half without star Shyheim Nixon, who reaggravated a left shoulder injury suffered in last week’s tie at Haldane.
Woodlands 39, Dobbs Ferry 6: At Gould Park in Dobbs Ferry, Ray Jackson and Tyrone Barber combined for 265 yards of offense and three touchdowns on just 12 touches. Both rushed for over 100 yards apiece. Barber scored from 40 yards out with 1:24 remaining in the second quarter to give the Falcons a 20-6 halftime lead. Jackson took the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter 60 yards to increase the lead.
Tim Soave had 25 carries for 111 yards, but Woodlands limited the rest of Dobbs’ offense to 41 total yards. The Eagles, who beat Woodlands 39-0 on the same field in last year’s snowy Class C semifinals en route to winning the state title, scored their only touchdown in the first quarter. Soave had been stopped inches short on fourth and goal from the 1. Two plays later, teammate Chris Addorisio recovered a bad snap in the end zone for a touchdown.
Sleepy Hollow 41, Lakeland 21: At Sleepy, Dominic Onwe rushed for a five-yard touchdown in the final seconds of the third quarter to break a 21-21 tie. Owne later left the game with an ankle injury after rushing for 74 yards on just eight carries, but his third touchdown began a run of 20 unanswered points to end the game.
Sleepy’s Isaiah Sanjuan recovered an onside kick on the ensuing kickoff. Devin Lopez’s running helped set up his eight-yard touchdown pass to Edwin Jiminez. Lopez also connected with Onwe on an 86-yard touchdown. Teammate Steven Bencosme opened the scoring when he returned an interception 98 yards for a touchdown.
Lakeland’s Jimmy Flaherty rushed for over 100 yards and two touchdowns, including an 8-yard run with 2:38 left in the third quarter to tie the game 21-21. Teammate Anthony Capozzi returned a kickoff for the Hornets’ other touchdown.
Mamaroneck 34, Port Chester 13: At Mamaroneck, the Tigers won their second straight Athletic Directors’ Trophy in their annual rivalry with Port Chester, which is one of the oldest in Westchester County. They Tigers won for the fourth time in the last six meetings with the Rams. They built a 20-0 lead in the first quarter.
The first score came on a 46-yard touchdown run by sophomore Marquez Jackson-Allen, who rushed for 90 yards on 13 carries. On the next possession, senior Robby Nigro scored on a 1-yard run. He finished with 16 carries for 144 yards and two touchdowns.
Rams senior running back Trevor Chambless received the following kick off and fumbled at his own 25 yard line. Mamaroneck’s John Schudy scooped up the ball and ran into the end zone.
Port Chester quarterback Kyle Drummond scored on a five-yard scramble with 6:20 left in the second quarter and then threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Mike Thorgersen to open up the third, cutting the Tigers’ lead to 20-13. Mamaroneck had four interceptions, including one on a halfback option.
Pawling 56, Palisade Prep 16: At Pawling, Brandon Tate and Zach Warren had rushing touchdowns. Warren and Felix Marcano ran for a two-point conversion each. Tate ran for 100 yards on 10 carries and threw for 88 yards.
Saunders 19, Spring Valley 18: At Lincoln High School in Yonkers, Francisco Wilson-King had 20 rushes for 166 yards and a touchdown. Kristian Prenga threw for 107 yards and two touchdowns, including a 10-yard touchdown to Chris Tran with just under two minutes remaining to tie the game 18-18. Eric Mfwodo made the extra point for the win.
Peekskill 21, Riverside 8: At Peekskill, the Red Devils snapped a 32-game losing streak, which was the second-longest current streak in the state. Ramon Searight scored on two consecutive offensive plays, rushing for touchdowns of 45 and 72 yards. He finished with 10 carries for 132 yards. Naim Mickens added a 48-yard touchdown run in early in the fourth quarter.
Albertus Magnus 63, Yonkers Montessori 20: At Albertus Magnus, Cory Jean-Charles and Joe Denise each rushed for two touchdowns. Tom McConnell rushed for one and scored on a 35-yard pass from Danny Lopez. Nico Denise also had 206 yards on seven carries with a touchdown for the Falcons.
Putnam Valley 56, Kennedy 6: At Putnam Valley, the Tigers won their third straight after starting the season 0-3. Mike Walsh threw two touchdown passes and rushed in two more scores for the Tigers. Rich Kilmer had rushes of 15 and 48 yards for touchdowns. Zach Nolan scored his first varsity touchdown on a quarterback sneak.
Hackley 55, Hamden Hall 32: At Hamden Hall, Joe McDermott rushed for four touchdowns and threw to Ian Parnell for three other scores.

New Rochelle 13, John Jay-East Fishkill 0: At City Park in New Rochelle Friday, Jason Ceneus scored on a 64-run to break open a scoreless game in the third quarter for the unbeaten Huguenots (6-0). The defense had its fourth shutout and has now allowed just 13 points this season.

PPR,
I figured the D line went both ways on O. Who is the fifth starter on the O line? By the way, if you have an entire starting D Line that goes both ways on O, that would put them at a HUGE second half disadvantage against a no huddle offense like Iona runs. The O line would have to try to catch their breath playing O because there would be no time to rest on D. Especially on a small roster team like New Ro has without much depth on the lines. Maxpreps has only 36 kids on New Ro’s roster.
As far as next year, from a fan’s perspective I’d rather see Forrest get 20+ carries a game. It would be great to see what he could do.

PPR,
We well see about SJBS playing Tottenville. SJBS is somewhere around the #6 program in the CHSFL. I give them credit for playing the #1 team in the PSAL. You knock programs when they step up and play great competition and lose. I applaud any program with the cajones to step up and schedule great teams. You do this while New Ro plays no one. I credit New Ro for finally getting an out of conference opponent – yet No Bergen is the #138 team in NJ. Not exactly Tottenville, MW, Bergen Catholic, LaSalle (PA), etc.
NOW SJBS IS THE #6 PROGRAM IN THE CHSFL!!... THEY WHERE JUST UNDEFEATED AND THE #25 ALL EVERYTHING NOW THE DROP DOWN TO #6 B/C YOU SCRED THEY GONNA GET BLOWN OUT!!... IONA SHOULD HAVE SCHEDULE TOTTTEN!!.. NAH BUT THEY RE-KINDLE THIS BAD MARRIAGE WITH POLY CRAP!!..... #BERGEN IS NOT A GAME NEW RO IS NOT PUTTING ALOT INTO!!.. BUT THEY WILL COME TO PLAY THEY NEED THERE PLAYERS TO GET HEALTHY TO MANY GUYS BANGED UP!!.. PLAYOFF IS THE FOLLOWING WEEK!!.. BY THE WAY CAN YOU NAME THE 5 TEAMS INFRONT OS SJBS I’M JUST CURIOUS

HOOPS… CLK SO RUNS A SPREAD!!.. NEW RO ALSO ONLY GAVE UP 13 POINTS ALL SEASON!.. ALSO NEW RO ROTATE PLAYERS….SO CONDITIONING I THINK THE ARE READY TO PLAY 4 QTRS. OF FOOTBALL!!.. IS STEPINAC AND IONA READY!!!
PPR,
I’m interested to see how New Ro/No Bergen goes. I’ll be rooting for New Ro!
Yes, last week SJBS looked like the #4 team in the CHSFL. After a loss this week, they dropped. There is a lot of parity EVERY YEAR in the CHSFL after the top couple teams. This year Iona, St As and Cham are the top 3 – seemingly by a lot – then there is a decent drop down to the next level. Not a lot separates #4-#12 in the CHSFL – it seems like everyone 4-12 is beating eachother every week and no one is beating the Top 3. SJBS could definitely be as high as #4 in the CHSFL. Judging by the last 2-3 weeks, I’d put Farrell at #4, Step at #5, SJBS at #6, Holy Cross at #7, Holy Trinity #8, Mount #9, Fordham #10, Xaverian #11 and Kellenberg #12.
Yes, Cl South runs the spread. I watched the No Rock/Cl South game on msgvarsity. But clearly, not all spreads are created. Lent and JOhnson are solid players, their TE is solid and the QB is solid too. But Cl South is a small school, they were completely out-matched on both lines by No Rock. And while the skill positions at Cl South are solid, they are nowhere near the talent and speed of Iona or New Ro or Step. I give Cl South a lot of credit for playing with the big boys even when their school is 1/3 the size of New Ro and half the size of No Rock. I also think the spread is a great move for Cl South, as a small school they can compete a lot better with the spread than trying a power running game against bigger, deeper teams.
Prince
Iona signed a two year deal with Poly Prep- Last year Iona was looking for a non league game and Poly Prep was the best team they could agree to play- Iona ducks no one so dont try and play it off that Poly was the only team that Iona wanted to play-
Iona is not backing down from Tottenville this year or any other year- If they beat St. Anthony this year then they will not be intimidated by Tottenville or anyone else -
HOOPS
WE WHERE TALKING ABOUT THE FAST PACE OF THE SPREAD NOT HOW TALENTED CLK SO. PLAYER ARE. YOU DN’T HAVE TO BE VERY TALENTED TO HAVE A FAST PACE OFFENSE.
HOOPS
STILL CN’T SEE HOW SJBS IS #6 IF ANYTHING 4 0R 5

You are ripping the Iona scheduling of Poly Prep- Well what is the New Rochelle excuse for North Bergen- They are at best a mediocre program-
Iona would beat them 48-7

When Iona scheduled Poly Prep they were looked at as a strong program who had beaten some very good teams including St. Anthony- Iona was locked in for a home and home- Lets see who Iona gets next year- Maybe they will get a section 9 opponent- maybe they could play Aquinas of Rochester- I know they will play someone with good credentials
IONA
YOU NEED TO GO AND CHECK AND SEE WHAT THE RECORD OF THE TEAMS POLY BEAT THE PAST 4 YEARS!!.. IF POLY HAS 12 VICTORY 4-5 TEAMS HAD A WINNING A RECORD!!.... C’MON
PPR,
You are way off about Poly. I’m not saying Poly is great like they were in ‘02-’04, but they are still very solid. Every year they send a number of kids to 1AA schools and this year they have two 1A players – Stapleton the TE/DE committed to UCONN and Hayes the Jr T/DE who is likely the most highly recruited player in NYS next year’s lass. THey just played a team from DC last week that is undefeated and has been ranked nationally. Poly blew out Fort Hamilton who has been a PSAL power 34-0 in week 1. FH has had a rough season, but Poly beat FH similarly to how Tott beat them. Most of the rest of Poly’s opponents are prep schools that include post-grads – which Poly does not – and they still hold their own. Maxpreps has Poly ranked as the #12 prep school in the northeast (again most have post-grads). There is little doubt that Poly has been one of the better programs in lower NYS over the last 10 years or so and is certainly better than North Bergen this year. Saying No Bergen was good last year as little to do with New Ro playing them this year.
IP,
It would be great to see Iona play Aquinas next year. Iona seems to lose a lot of their big linemen next year (Morris, Vernon, Joseph, Deccea and Bishop). I think their huge line is part of what makes them so good this year – no one is pushing them around including Cham and St As. I know Sullivan and DeSalvo are back next year, maybe they’d get some O line work as well. Are there any other talented young lineman in the program. I’m looking forward to seeing Madison at the helm next year.
PPR,
From watching the Cl South/No Rock game – only time I’ve seen Cl South – they don’t seem to hurry it up as much or as fast as Iona. On top of that, Iona has a mammoth O Line which will contribute to any D line fatigue late in the game, particularly if the entire D line is starting both ways. And Biaggi is an excellent runner right up the gut of the D, which is particularly tough late in a game, behind a huge O line when the D is getting tired.
As far as SJBS or 4/5 or 6 in the CHSFL. It remains to be seen. Farrell really seems to have turned a corner the last 3 weeks and proved something playing St As so close last week. Step has managed to fix their snapping issues on punts which cost them both the Xaverian game and the Holy Cross game. If Step can continue to limit their TOs, their O is strong, their D is playing pretty well. If Step can beat Farrell at home next week and snag the 4 or 5 seed in the CHSFL playoffs they could win a game. THey will have a hard time with St As, Iona or Cham.
Iona power,
Are you talking about the Eastchester Gaels or the Iona Eagles?? Stop poaching our program! We would be state champs this year if these kids played for their community.
Just saying….
always an eagle,
That was a witty comment – witty, yet boneheaded. Kids from Eastchester – both athletes and nonathletes – have been going to Iona and to a lesser degree Stepinac for as long as they’ve been around. The Blue Devils is a very good youth program and does a great job producing good players. Biaggi, Sullivan, DeSalvo, Bonci and Florio are very good players.
always an eagle
sure – Iona is poaching Eastchester kids- Did you ever stop and think they wanted to come to Iona because of the academics, sports etc was a better fit-
Why would a top notch football player pick Eastchester over Iona- You cant compare the programs- They should should not be in the same sentence-
I hope that answers your question.
Yes you are right about that! But going back to the 80s and 90s Eastchester Blue Devils produced great players for Eastchester, Roosevelt and Mt Vernon and to some extent Tuckahoe and Bronxville.. Most of the kids I played Blue Devils with played for their home towns. It was a sense of community and pride to play for your school. All the programs I just mentioned were very succesful at that time. I do not begrudge those players for going to Iona. I just wish they chose to play for their community. There are good football players in those schools that have parents that cant afford $17,000 a year to send there kids to High School. They are the ones I feel bad for when they see their old classmates winning in a good program that has the ability to recruit. My earlier comment was obviously said in jest, there is no reason for ridicule and name calling guys, take it easy and enjoy your season.. Good luck in the playoffs.
Always,
I hear you, but some public school fans act like the only “community” is at public schools. Thats hardly trye. There are great “communities” of students, parents, etc, at schools like Step or Iona. If you want to see for yourself, drive by Iona Prep about 2pm on Saturday afternoon – there will probably be 4000 or more people at the game this year. I’m going light on the crowd prediction since not many people are taking Step to win. The crowd the last few years has been huge since the games have been up for grabs. More than one person told me last year’s Step/Iona crowd was bigger than Rye/Harrison.
I was at that game at Stepinac last year!! Terrific crowd.. I am NOT putting Iona or its school community down. It is a great school with excellent academics and sports. My point was that in a year such as this, when Iona has an abundunce of Eastchester kids on their roster. It is sad to see our kids struggle through a terrrible season on a team with depth and injury issues. I am jealous I guess that Iona has some incredible athletes from our town that would have made us a powerhouse in Class A. That being said, GOOD LUCK to Iona in the playoffs. I am sure cheering for all those kids, I watched most of them grow up!!
“Why would a top notch football player pick Eastchester over Iona- You cant compare the programs- They should should not be in the same sentence-”
Hmmm let me see…. pay $20k per yr and go to Iona or go to Eastchester for free…... that is a tough one….
PS IP you the Dean or just the lead salesman for IOna Prep?
PSS. Whatever happened to Coach Darlos? A Shame always liked reading his posts.
Always,
Very nice way to put it. Good luck to Eastchester the rest of the way

THEN YOU SAY THIS ABOUT NEW RO VS BERGEN ….(((((Saying No Bergen was good last year as little to do with New Ro playing them this year))))))))
PPR,
You misunderstood my point. Poly Prep was good in the past, yes. But MOST IMPORTANTLY they’re also good this year and have been solid each of the past several years. Very different comment than saying they were good in the past and not so good this year, but let’s judge on what they did 8 years ago. I judge Poly’s team this year solely by what they are doing this year.
IP, jealous of?????????!
I never lost to Iona Prep team…so no jealousy there…
My checks keep rolling in my mc mansion… So still no jealousy…
If we are talking alma mater…. Even you have to be envious of what coach d does for the new ro kids….. Most I would assume different then the typical Iona silver spooned mouth students??? Coach D makes life changes for these kids while coach Vic job.. Don’t sc rew up…
So jealous???? Of what???????
Just,
Glad to hear you never lost to Iona. I can’t say the same, sadly. Whether this applies to you or not, there are plenty of people in New Ro, particularly after the Ray Rice era, that don’t appreciate Iona Prep being considered the superior program in your city. I propose renewing their Turkey Bowl rivalry next year to settle it once and for all. However, if New Ro and Iona were going to renew their rivalry, this would’ve been a better year for New Ro – they have a lot of senior talent – both teams graduate a lot of talent this year, but Iona seems to have way, way more underclassmen contributing this year. New Ro would have the edge at RB next year though I think.

Prince!!!! I saw that last night and was about to type something then figured that anything I wrote could not do justice for how great it was to see hoops in a corner!!!
PPR,
Let’s get a couple things straight.
1) My comment about Josh seemingly not giving the CHSFL much credit was backed up by 5 examples. I wasn’t joking about that and I stand by the examples I mentioned. One of the examples may have been a misunderstanding of Josh’s wording regarding Chaminade. The other four examples are incontrovertible.
2) Your faux-outrage over me saying tongue-in-cheek that you and Just ‘may have subconsciously seeped into (Josh’s) thought stream…yuck” just goes to show how far Josh overreacted to it. If what I said was truly offensive, you wouldn’t have attempted to react so over the top.
Just,
I’m not sure how New Ro could schedule Step and Iona…unless they played Step in week 1 and Iona in the Turkey Bowl – if Sect 1 loosens their rules…but I’d be thrilled. Win or lose they’d both be great games.
Hoops… Not true. Your entire premise is based on “a fact” that Mahopac and Clarkstown South do not have any good wins. I don’t agree with that. In my opinion, they do. Also, their losses are to: North Rockland, New Rochelle and John Jay (Mahopac) and Mahopac (South). All of those teams are in my Top 10.
You also have stated – as an inarguable truth – that St. Joe’s beat a very good Farrell team. That’s not a truth. That’s your opinion, just like it’s your opinion that Mahopac and South have no good wins. But none of those things are facts.
Where I thought you were hypocritical – like I said – was saying I was showing no love to the CHSFL. Iona Prep was No. 2 to an undefeated New Rochelle team. And I have said the two were very close and that Iona (hypothetically) could be the better team. We only cover two CHSFL teams. How could ranking Iona No. 2 be not showing the league any love? Does Iona have to be ranked No. 1, unequivocally?
Josh,
I believe my wording has always been that Step has a better big win (SJBS) than Mahopac or Cl South. While Mahopac (ranked #81 in NYS by Freemans) and Cl South (#102) are solid teams, I think SJBS is better (#47) and the computers and the NYSSWA agree.
Mahopac lost to 3 tough teams – but in fairness all three losses were shutouts. The New Ro game was close, but No Rock 14-0 and JJEF 21-0 don’t seem particularly close. Mahopac’s wins are over Ketcham, Arlington and Cl South.
Cl South lost big to New Ro, 17-3 vs No Rock and a close game to Mahopac. Their wins were over Ketcham, Scars and Cl North.
SJBS’s wins over Farrell, Xaverian, Mount and Kellenberg were DEFINITELY more impressive than Mahopac and Cl South’s wins.
You apparently don’t agree that Farrell is a good team. I think Rich Reichert the legendary coach at St Anthony’s may disagree after Farrell just took St Anthony’s down to the wire last Fri 42-34. How many teams do we know that can score 34 pts vs St As? Not many that I know of.
Your last comment about my supposedly hypocritical comments leaves out 80% of my examples regarding the CHSFL. That is misleading. If the only thing I wrote is what you attributed to me above – that you ranked New Ro ahead of Iona – and that was my ONLY reason for my chsfl comment, then I would agree that would’ve been a completely hypocritical comment. However, that wasn’t my only example. I gave five examples of where I thought you were all not giving much credit to the CHSFL – all five examples were things you did in fact say – there is no argument there. If you only choose one example to highlight, that’s misleading to my comments as a whole. If only one or two or three of these instances came to mind, I doubt I would’ve wrote anything. But when I realized five instances all in the last several days I decided to make a comment. As far as New Ro over Iona in your rankings, I don’t think it is a big deal. I don’t agree and I’m more than a little surprised that you rank a team #1 that struggles with winless Arlington and 1-5 WP, but thats just a matter of preference.
I think you are generally very fair with the CHSFL and I’ve never noticed one hint of bias from you on any level regarding any team Sect 1 or CHSFL. I DEFINITELY am not accusing you of any bias on any level. But of course, people will always have different opinions. If I write something that seems to contradict an earlier statement of mine, then I’d expect to be called on it. I think my pointing out your comment about ‘rewarding teams with good wins’ and contrasting that with Step, Mahopac and Cl South’s records and wins is very reasonable thing to do. If looking at the resumes of Mahopac, Cl South, Stepinac and SJBS, you think Mahopac (Cl South) or Cl South (Cl North) based on their resumes have better wins than Step beating SJBS I respectfully disagree with you and I don’t think the resumes of Mahopac, Cl South and SJBS back up your position.
HOOPS
YOU LIAR!!... THAT IS THE EASIEST WAY TO PUT IT!!..
PPR,
Yes, calling someone a ‘liar’ is very easy. But it proves nothing and means nothing…especially coming from you. I gave you the complete schedules of who beat who and their losses. Those are facts. If you have no facts to back up your position, then you have no position.
