AA-II Championship Game Preview

#1 Holy Trinity (9-0) vs. #2 St. John the Baptist (9-1) When: Saturday November 20th, 2021 @11am Where: Mitchel Field Athletic Complex 1 Charles Lindbergh Blvd, Uniondale NY 11553 Livestream: Click for Broadcast by Varsity Media Previous Meeting: 45-21 Holy Trinity on October 3rd (Week 4) By Matt Diano: Synopsis: “Beat them? Can anyone even score a point against Holy Trinity?”  These seem to be the sentiments shared by many pundits as we are just days away from the All-Long Island collision to seize the first of our three titles being handed out on Saturday at Mitchel Field…For both programs, this weekend represents an opportunity to return to the throne after a bit of a prolonged drought (Holy Trinity last won in 2008; SJB won the “A” hardware in 2013…A storyline that any good Catholic can appreciate, the tale of the tape is shaping up to be a classic David vs.

#1 Chaminade (6-3) vs. #2 Moore Catholic (5-3) When: Saturday November 20th, 2021 @2pm Where: Mitchel Field Athletic Complex 1 Charles Lindbergh Blvd, Uniondale, NY Livestream: Click for Broadcast by Varsity Media                             Previous Meeting: First Meeting of the Season By Matt Diano: Synopsis: The clash of defending champions that many regarded as inevitable has come to fruition as the 2019 Double-A-1 titlist from Mineola [Chaminade] will square off with the reigning AA-2 kings hailing from Staten Island [Moore Catholic]…The owners of matching 6-3 records this fall, both the Flyers and the Mavericks were very much in the hunt to earn berths to the Triple-A bracket before coming up just short during the last week of the regular season…Turning disappointment into opportunity, while the intended/desired prize may no longer be on the table, there is most certainly honor

AAA Championship Game Preview

#1 Iona Prep (9-1) vs. #2 Monsignor Farrell (8-2) When: Saturday November 20th, 2021 @5pm Where: Mitchel Field Athletic Complex 1 Charles Lindbergh Blvd, Uniondale, NY 11553 Livestream: Click for Broadcast by Varsity Media Previous Meeting: 24-10 Iona Prep on September 18th By Matt Diano: Synopsis: The title match-up that few people would have predicted when the schedule rolled out in late-summer/early fall, and when we kicked off 2021, there was no guarantee that the Lions of Monsignor Farrell would even be in the triple-A playoffs, let alone in the title contest.  One of the schools (Chaminade, Kellenberg, and Moore Catholic among the others) vying for two at-large bids, the cats from Amboy Road have done nothing but defy the odds and prove that despite never receiving the respect they deserved (even after earning the #2 seed), they are on a mission that ends only when they are hoisting the

CHSFL Semifinal Players of the Week

By Matt Diano: John Caufield (Jr.); QB/Punter/DB – Monsignor Farrell Bestowed with the most flattering of praise from the Lion coaching staff following a 24-21 victory in the semifinals against Archbishop Stepinac, the 6’1 175-pound, junior hailing from Staten Island [Caufield was so perfectly described as “having his fingerprint all over the victory” this past Saturday evening. Embattled in a contest where it was known that a back-and-forth shootout would favor the visiting Crusaders (who were seeking their seventh straight trip to the AAA finals), Caufield not only shined in his usual roles as a defensive back and a punter, but also went the extra mile, stepping up to take a few snaps as a wildcat quarterback as part of a deliberate attempt to control possession and keep the pigskin out of the hands of their always explosive opponents from White Plains. Pitted against an AS offense that entered boasting

2021 CHSFL AA-2 Semifinals Preview

By Matt Diano: #1 Holy Trinity (8-0) vs. #4 Holy Cross (5-3) When: Saturday November 13th, 2021 @1pm Where: Holy Trinity HS (98 Cherry Ln, Hicksville, NY 11801) Previous Meeting: 35-6 Holy Trinity on October 17th (Week 6)   Synopsis: Seeking their first crown since 2008 (runners-up in ‘16), the Green & White freight train that are the Titans of Holy Trinity simply looked unstoppable this year on both ends of the line of scrimmage.  An influx of talent from across Long Island has taken a roster that was rich on experience and ability prior to their arrivals and turned them into a steamroller that has gone unchallenged the entire season.   Scoring 30 or more in seven consecutive games and pitching FIVE shutouts in eight appearances, if this cohort has any flaws, then those shortcomings are known only to Head Coach, Kahmal Roy, and the almighty God; because to the

2021 CHSFL AA-1 Semifinals Preview

By Matt Diano: #1 Chaminade (5-3) vs. #4 Fordham Prep (4-4) When: Saturday November 13th, 2021 @1pm Where: Gold Star Stadium on the Campus of Chaminade HS (340 Jackson Ave, Mineola, NY 11501) Previous Meeting: Chaminade 28-0 on October 16th (Week #6) Synopsis: Because of the one-sidedness of the first meeting, this is a contest that at first glance might not strike you as immensely intriguing.  However, due to the nature in which the Rams prevailed (dramatic touchdown run in overtime) in their quarterfinal game, we feel that this is a program that is going to travel to Mineola with a lot of buzz/momentum…Make no mistakes about it, the defending AA-1 titlists, Chaminade are still the odds-on favorites, but we simply will not sell Fordham Prep short as they attempt to return to the ‘ship for the first since 2017 (lost in the finals to Kellenberg)…For the host Flyers, who
