MAKE IT FOUR BRASS RINGS IN A ROW FOR THE NYCHSFL REPRRESTATIVES!!! Iona’s Crew Davis (Offense) & Matthew Plunkett (Defense) Selected State Championship Game MVP’s by Matt Diano Congratulations to the Gaels of Iona Prep on claiming their second NYCHSAA State Crown in the past four years on Saturday morning behind a 42-26 triumph in hostile territory over the Canisius Crusaders in a clash of the #1 and #7 ranked teams in the Evil Empire (per MaxPreps)… Labeling them as a “2nd half” team in our state title contest preview; for the second weekend  a row (utilized a 25-0 run between the 3rd and 4th quarters enroute to a 43-22 upending of St. Anthony’s in the league finals), it was the Maroon & Gold taking control of a barn-burner during the final 24 minutes of regulation to hoist that precious hardware on Stransky Field (campus of CHS)… A tale of

The Gaels of Iona Prep had one mission when the field goal attempt went wide in the final seconds of last years CHSFL title game, win it all in 2024.  That mission was fulfilled today with a 42-26 win over Canisius in the 2024 NYCHSAA Football title game.  Braving the elements and a tenuous Crusaders team the Gaels pulled away in the second half to secure the second state football title in school history.  Iona was led by the junior year tandem of running back Crew Davis, three rushing TD’s, and quarterback Julian Guzman, who threw for three TD’s.   Iona finishes the season with an 11-2 overall record and is currently ranked #1 in New York State.

By Matt Diano All week, the mission at hand was understood by every student-athlete wearing a Vikings football jersey….STOP ARUTA AND WILLIAMS!!! MISSION ACCOMPLISHMENTED, GENTLEMEN!!!! In what was a blood and guts war waged on both sidelines, it was top-seeded St. Josephs’s by the Sea hoisting NYCHSFL hardware for the first time in program history when they emerged with an 8-7 victory in a clash for Staten Island bragging rights over the second-seeded Eagles of St. Peters’! The AA-1 title yielding triumph under the Friday night lights on the campus of Monsignor Farrell HS raising the Tressor Baptiste coached squad’s record this season to 11-2; the ugly fall weather was not the only thing “cold”; so too was the revenge dished out after SJS previously dropped a 22-19 contest all the way back on September 7th (Week #1)!! The only points of the evening occurring when the two school actually

St. Joseph by the Sea captured the first CHSFL title in school history with an 8-7 win over Staten Island rival St. Peter’s.  All the scoring took place in the first quarter and was ultimately decided by a fake extra point that gave the Vikings the one point lead their defense never relinquished.  Over 2100 witnessed the defensive battle which was played at Monsignor Farrell High School to accommodate the crowd.  The Vikings survived a last minute push by the #2 Eagles (10-3) to claim the 2024 CHSFL AAI title.    The top seeded Vikings finished with a record 11-2.     Thomas DiGregorio (Offense) and Dean Coscia (Defense) received MVP honors.
