The weather calls for temps in the mid 60s and cloudy skies today. Frankly, it wouldn’t normally be worth getting too excited about, but I think we should cherish the mediocre weather. Beginning Sunday it’s going to be a few wet, wet days ahead – and maybe a few without football. And that may be an improvement over last year. Remember that? No? Well, maybe THIS will trigger your memory.
A few quick things this morning:
1. I’m out today. Yes, it’s not ideal, but I have a family obligation.
2. You’re in good hands. Rick Carpiniello (@LoHudCarp) has John Jay-New Ro; Brian Heyman (@LoHudInsider) has Woodlands-Bronxville; Mike Dougherty (@hoopsmbd) has Dobbs-Rye Neck; and Adam Berger (@LoHudBerger) had North Rockland-Mamaroneck.
3. If your team is involved in a non-playoff matchup game, check this post. I separated all of the non-playoff teams into pods of four. The winners of those games play the winners and the losers play the losers next week. For example, Tappan Zee and Yorktown both won so they will play and Port Chester will play John Jay.
Carp and I will post final scores and recaps online during the afternoon and evening. Also, be sure to check my Twitter feed, which will share plenty of scores and stats throughout the day.
Enjoy the football!

GAME RECAPS
Class AA semifinals —
North Rockland 28, Mamaroneck 7: The defending AA champion and No. 2-seeded Red Raiders used a strong run game and a defense that bent but did not break to beat No. 3 Mamaroneck 28-7 on Saturday afternoon in a Section 1 Class AA semifinal game at Cordisco Stadium.
Either North Rockland or New Rochelle has won every AA championship since 1998. They will meet again in the championship game at Mahopac High Saturday.
North Rockland’s Nick Connell ran the ball 21 times for 116 yards and a touchdown, also scoring on a 44-yard screen play. Mamaroneck’s Dan McCarthy completed 12 of 25 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown. The score came late in the fourth quarter on a beautiful 63-yard deep ball to Matt Mohr down the right sideline.
New Rochelle 27, John Jay-East Fishkill 0: The No. 1-seeded Huguenots saw their string of five straight AA titles and seven in eight years stopped in the semifinal, at the goal line, at North Rockland last year. They will meet again, this time for the championship, Saturday.
Jason Ceneus ran for 133 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries, and also picked off a pass. Quarterback Khalil Edney – surprisingly, the only player who was on the team that went to the title game in 2010 – was 7 of 10 passing for 188 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Joe Clarke caught three of those passes for 137 and two TDs, including a spin move that turned into a 95-yarder … after which he missed the extra point kick.
“I was too tired,” he laughed. “I was done.”
Corey Holder’s strip-sack of John Jay quarterback Kyle Contreras and Jon Forrest’s recovery set up a big touchdown before the half. Wjhante Holden had a pick. On a John Jay first-and-goal inside the one, Steven Noake came out of a pileup with the football.
Big plays.
“We’re back,” Edney said. “New Rochelle’s back.”
Class C semifinals —
Woodlands 35, Bronxville 7: Justin Riccio threw for 175 yards and three touchdowns — making an interception to set up one of them — and No. 1 Woodlands cruised past fourth-seeded Bronxville 35-7.
The Falcons (8-0) will face No. 2 Rye Neck (7-0) in the Class C championship game at 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 4 at Mahopac, going in pursuit of their first sectional title since 1993.
They jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the second quarter. Riccio found Raymond Jackson and Tyrone Barber for 4- and 2-yard scores, respectively, sandwiched around D’Andre Tilford’s 1-yard touchdown run. It was a 21-7 game at the half, and then Woodlands scored on its first possession of the third quarter. Barber took a screen pass 40 yards to the end zone.
Bronxville dropped to 4-4.
Rye Neck 25, Dobbs Ferry 7: The Panthers took steps to quiet the critics, getting three touchdowns from quarterback Tom Pipolo and limiting Dobbs Ferry with a stubborn and straightforward defense. The defense allowed its first points of the season, but held Section 1’s leading rusher, Tim Soave, to 25 yards on 11 carries. The junior had rushed for 100 or more yards in all seven previous games this season. Alex Anderson had 10 tackles and Matt Brennan and Jakob Calvini each had a sack.
Rye Neck dominated time of possession, and when the Eagles came back and took a 7-6 lead, the offense needed just three plays to answer. Dom Brescia’s 64-yard run set up Pipola’s one-yard plunge. A halfback option pass from Calvini to Ryan Morningstar gave Rye Neck an 18-7 lead at the half.
Morningstar finished with 13 carries for 89 yards as the Panthers rushed for 273 yards as a team.
“Everybody has been saying that we played a cupcake schedule,” Rye Neck center and defensive tackle Matt Brennan said. “They said we’d lose to Blind Brook. They said we’d lose to Magnus. They said we’d lose to Hastings. And then they said we had no shot against Dobbs Ferry. Well, none of those things came to fruition.”
Up next is a Woodlands team that took down Bronxville with a resounding thud, 35-7. The championship game is Sunday at Mahopac High School at 4:30 p.m. The Panthers will be playing for a Section 1 title for the first time since 2005.
They have not won a championship since the current playoff scenario was put in place in 1993.
“We always believed,” Calvini said. “We had to prove ourselves to everybody.”
Class D semifinals —
Tuckahoe 45, Yonkers Montessori 0: In a Class D semifinal at No. 1 Tuckahoe, Shyheim Nixon had five carries for 65 yards, including a touchdown, and completed 2 of 3 passes for 24 yards. Nick Reisman had 10 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown. Mike Rosell rushed for two touchdowns.
Kayvon Reid and Darwin Roman each ran for a touchdown, and J.C. Pullino returned an interception 21 yards for a touchdown.
Haldane 52, Palisade Prep 8: At No. 2 Haldane, Bayley Semple completed 8 of 10 passes for 108 yards and four touchdowns. Semple also carried the ball five times for 57 yards and a touchdown.
Sophomore Brian McCollum caught two touchdown passes — his first TD catches
since joining the varsity this year. Junior Dylan Kenny also scored his
first varsity touchdown, on a 1-yard run. Nick DiGregorio added a rushing
touchdown and a receiving touchdown.
No. 2 Haldane will take on top-seeded Tuckahoe in Saturday¹s 2 p.m.
championship game at Mahopac High School. The teams tied 27-27 during the
regular season.
Non-playoff games —
Westlake 19, Ardsley 14: In a non-playoff game at Ardsley, Dan Bassi rushed 24 times for 120 yards and two touchdowns and J.R. Policarpio rushed for 95 yards and a score. The Wildcats secured five turnovers to help rally from a 14-0 halftime deficit. Ardsley’s George Difiore had 12 carries for 156 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown.
Albertus Magnus 39, Hastings 15: In a non-playoff game at Torne Valley, Daniel Lopez passed for three touchdowns ‹ one each to Nico Denis, Discard Bauevil and Tom McConnel. Bauevil and Denis each also rushed for a touchdown.
Ossining 36, Pearl River 6: In a non-playoff game at Pearl River, Josh Almodovar rushed for two touchdowns in the the first quarter. Michael O’Connor completed all three of his pass attempts to Noah Morton for 88 yards and a touchdown.
Irvington 49, Roosevelt 6: In a non-playoff game at Irvington, Dillon D’Arrigo completed 5 of 5 passes for 158 yards and three touchdowns. Hunter Gizzi had five carries for 44 yards and two touchdowns. Victor Rodriguez and Dillon Morley each ran for a touchdown.
Eastchester 28, Fox Lane 20: In a non-playoff game at Eastchester, Anthony Galluci threw three touchdown passes, including two to Jack Calby. Mike Marsico added a 62-yard interception return. Fox Lane¹s Jared Nickerson had a 91-yard touchdown run.
Iona Prep 49, Fordham Prep 0: At Iona Prep, Mario Biaggi and Shaquille Townsend each rushed for two touchdowns, and Nick D’Angelo and Robert Madison each had one. Nick Kryza threw a 78-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Lawrence.
Rye Country Day 51, Kingswood-Oxford 26: At Rye Country Day, Raishaun McGhee had 10 carries for 219 yards — including touchdown runs of 50 and 75 yards — and completed 7 of 9 passes for 111 yards, including 20-yard TD toss to Tyler Fernadez. Fernandez also ran for two touchdowns, as did Tyler Miller.
Stepinac 29, Monsignor Farrell 15: At Farrell, Danny Hoffer completed 10 of 16 passes for 187 yards and two touchdowns, and also had nine carries for 36 yards. Ryan Burnett rushed for 180 yards and Chrystian Lopez had three receptions for 85 yards and two touchdowns. Demarcus Miller returned an interception 46 yards for a touchdown.
Hopkins 29, Hackley 28: At Hackley, Joe McDermott threw two touchdown passes to Mustafa Dais. Ian Parnell added two touchdown runs as Hackley (6-1) dropped its first game of the season.

New state rules, need 4 nights of rest between games. The night the game is played counts as one nights rest. So games can be played Sunday.
So let me get this right, schools are cancelled mon. and tues. so they cannot practice, then come to school on wed. and play that day. Wow, talk about a lawsuit if some kid gets hurt.
Rush Hen,
lol. told you to get out of Section 5 first bro!

That game was given!!.. Away!!...
Prince,
Seems like it. Did they run well, pass well you guys miss tackles/blow assignments or all of the above?

They just passed well from what I was told. And that the yards came from screens!!!..
Just
What your thoughts on new Ro versus Monroe!???
Prince,
Discipline my friend. Linemen can’t meander too far up field putting the LB’s and secondary on n island.
Also No Rock first lest we have a repeat of last year, lol.
States
Jjef tryed screens!!.. Did not work!! New Ro was there!!... Ready for it!!. New Ro has about 10-14 int. in that secondary not bad!! I would say!!!..... New Ro is built on discipline!!!
Prince,
Sounds like you used the experience as a nice learning to.ol. Good job.
States
You know coach d fixed the mindset from last week and he probably was hoping that Jjef tryed to do the things that north Bergen did in the 4th qtr to see how his players respond to it!!..
Prince,
Sounds about accurate to me. It’s the mark of a great coach and he surely fits the bill.
Prince, saw some MW highlights vs Warwick. Low scoring game 14 – 13. I think MW could pose some problems in the sense of QB mobile, could get some decent runs and rolling out and hiting some quick passes. RB decent. Have a good WR too.
But overall I had New Ro going to the State Chip so in essence only they can beat themselves. Too many weapons, but they will need line play!
Funny, I said that about POK and offensively their line performed good from the clips I saw. Didnt watch full game just highlights. But at least in the clips, the QB had time to set up. ANd on runs, line did decent. So New Ro line will need to give same type of effort. Skill positions will be there.
One thing I would say, I think good defensive teams will make someone other than CLarke beat them. So North Rock and MW will definitely TRY to make this adjustment.
Cant wait. depending on game time, I will see you this Saturday will all our favorites???
PS – Prince, JJEF wil have to learn screens are dangerous weapon but…... you need to take shots down field and extend (and S P R E A D ) THE d!!!!!
Prince, when I saw the North Bergeb screen to the left, I was thinking same thing. JJEF going to try that one. Not sure if their screens were the exact same, but it did go across my mind.
One thing I would say, the stats by JJEF offense werent bad when you lok at the donut they put up. If I went by stats you would think they had a couple fo scores.
Accortding to MSG JJEF O stats were :
Rush – 183
Pass – 97
This Lourdes team made corton look like a middle school team….
Wow!

States,
Don’t listen to anything PPR says about New Ro – he is too delusional to give accurate info at this point unfortunately. According to PPR, New Ro can play with St Peter’s Prep (the same team that blew out No Bergen 50-0 this week). The facts are New Ro gave up 300+ passing yards to No Bergen. I heard screens hurt New Ro, but clearly it wasn’t 300yds of screens. And its great that New Ro limited JJEF’s attempt at screens, but clearly you can’t compare a pretty good passing team like No Bergen (in their first year in the spread) with a team that does not pass the ball much JJEF.
To New Ro’s benefit, there are very few teams in the Eastern half of the NYPHSAA that truly pass it well. So New Ro could advance all the way to the NYPHSAA final before they see a good passing game to test them.
I’m surprised Aquinas beat Rush-Hen. Aquinas lost by 2tds to St Joes Buffalo and by 4 tds to Canisius – both from the Msgr Martin division.
Ardsley cries last week that they should be in the playoffs then goes out and loses to a 3-4 Westlake team! Mr. Piner had this one right and I hate the Piner system.
Football guy – teams 2-8 in class B are all very equal…..would have been a perfect year for 8 team playoff bracket in class B
Hoops,
Got you. Excellent point about No. Bergen amd JJEF. My thoughts but I let Prince have it.
Not shocked AQ beat Rush Hen. Rush Hen has been struggling with them for about 5 years now.

Prince, out of the RB’s only guys I have seen footage on is census and w. Holden…. Think both are great coupled with Clarke and edney… So I agree with everything u are saying if we get reasonable line play…. If new ro gets dominated in trenches both defenses MW and north roc very capable… So that would be my biggest concern….
If new ro on all cylinders the State chip is theirs…. If they had 3 games in 11 days they lose to MW IMO… That is how bad 3 games 11 days is…. Thankfully they do not get s cre we’d this yr….

HE IS TRYING TO DOWN PLAY THEM THEY RANKED IN NJ IN THE TOP 100 THATS NOT BAD… A TEAM THAT I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT WOULD BE A EASY TOP 3 TEAM IN CHSFL!.. BEHIND IONA, SAINT ANTS!.. A TEAM THATS EASILY 2-3 TOUCHDOWNS BETTER THEN STEPINAC!!.... I CAN TELL YOU COACH D WAS NOT RISKING INJURIES IN THAT GAME AND WHEN GANLEY GOT BANGED UP COMMON SENSE WILL TELL A COACH WE NEED TO GET OUT OF THIS GAME WITH NO PROBLEMS!!.... THE GAME DIDN’T MATTER AFTER HALF TRUST ME!.. ASK HOOPS HOW MANY YARDS DID THEY HAVE IN THE 1ST 3 QTRS AND HOW MANY DID THEY HAVE IN THE FINAL 8MIN.

DID HOOPS TELL YOU THAT ST. PETERS IS RANKED #10 IN NJ!!.. WHICH IS CONSIDERED BETTER THEN THE WHOLE CHSFL!!!!!! IONA , SAINT ANTS AND ESPECIALLY STEPINAC
I am having a secret scout at the Somers camp today and tomorrow to make sure The Don is not having practices
Prince
I believe North Rockland will stack the box and rush the ends. I think Coach Lynch has faith in his DB’s. At least enough faith that his D-ends can provide enough pressure to allow for a shortened coverage time for his DB’s. Effectively stopping both the New Rochelle run and the pass attack.
New Rochelle on the other hand has no respect for the North Rockland pass attack. They will shut down the North Rockland ground and pound, daring the N. Rockland offense to pass. Look for a very low scoring game.
Hey, I could be wrong.
Dobbs Ferry should play Irvington in week 9. Great for both communities. In fact, they should play every year!
10960 does have a point that I think should always be a key to a game but especially vs new ro or any good team.. You need d end play…. There were times Troy exploited new ro d ends in 2010 and that was a big issue…. New ro looking to get edge so north roc will definitely need good end play to stay in this one.
10960
It going to come down both teams manufacturing points the defense will compete!!... But somebody offense is going to have make some plays!! I think new Ro has the advantage
Prince, u have any video of rush – aquinas?
I will track some down
PPR,
I don’t think No Bergen is a terrible team, not at all. I think they’re a decent team. And their schedule reflects that. But they’re not a NJ power like you attempt to make them out to be.
Almost everything you write is total nonsense. Don’t you ever get tired or purposely writing untruths.
-NO ONE said Step has the best QB in NYS. There is a QB from Holy Trinity going to Rutgers. I haven’t even heard anyone say Hoffer is the best QB in the CHSFL. THough I do think he is very good.
-NO ONE said Step has the best OC in NY. I do think he is very good.
-You said Step is struggling to throw the ball. Hoffer has over 1100yds and 8tds/3ints this year.
-You question how many times Hoffer has thrown for over 200yds this year? The answer is twice,
vs St Anthonys and Xaverian. Guess how many times Trautz from No Bergen has broken 200 yards this year – twice! And by the way, Step has played a much tougher schedule than No Bergen has.
-You say Step struggles to score 17ppg. They actually average 18.5ppg. Not great, but they played the #5 schedule in all of NYS, so its respectable. New Ro’s O on the other hand has averaged 17ppg on the dot against a schedule that isn’t even in the Top 30 in NYS (though admittedly much improved from years past)
you question No Bergen changing offenses this year. Here is a link for the Times Ledgertheir own hometown paper talking about it. http://blog.nj.com/hudsonhssports/2012/09/north_bergen_high_school_footb.htmlWhat’s up with MSG Varsity? They carried the New Rochelle John Jay game live yet they have no interest in carrying the championship game live between New Rochelle and North Rockland? I guess someone at MSG Varsity is too lazy to take a trip up to Mahopac and rather air game after game from Long Island. What a rip off.

Coach Kavanaugh: Don’t know if you signing on as a coach makes you feel smarter, but it didn’t work. Coach Wagner got crucified for losing in the first round of the playoffs in Dobbs. His teams never quit. Coach Violante built a powerful program and stood the test of time. These guys took their bows last year and need to hold themselves accountable for having their team quit each time they faced adversity (i didn’t see tuckahoe, but certainly against Woodlands and RN that was the case). Build a PROGRAM, not a TEAM. As of now, they’ve only built a team that they inheritied. Sorry.
