2022 NYCHSFL POY Award Winners

December 4, 2022

Article by Matt Diano “Behold, how good and pleasant it is, when brothers dwell in unity.”— Psalm 133:1 After a two-year absence in which circumstance denied us the opportunity to gather as a flock, the tradition that is the annual NYCHSFL Communion Awards breakfast was formally and/or customarily welcomed back earlier today on the campus of Kellenberg Memorial High School! Coalesced like a band of brothers as the All Mighty intended, for one final morning in the Winter of 2022, the best and brightest of the New York Metropolitan Catholic Football League basked in the glory that they worked so tirelessly to earn! For some, the past four years coming and going in the blink of an eye, there were no rivals in the breaking of bread ritual…The spirit of competition was replaced by inner-peace and the euphoria that accompanies knowing that battles have already been settled and all that

2022 Monsignor Peters Award Winner (Jack Donahoe)

December 4, 2022

Article by Matt Diano Named in honor of esteemed league founder, Monsignor Matthew Peters (Cardinal Hayes), there is no greater distinction bestowed upon a New York State Metro Catholic football player than the award that recognizes the Most Outstanding Student-Athlete among a brotherhood of truly remarkable and prosperous gentlemen! Tracing its origins back to the 1962 season when Chaminade’s Thomas “TJ” Liesegang converted from a starting linebacker position into the role of field general to command the Flyers in their successful bid to three-peat, the first member of this cherished and/or heralded fraternity went on to earn his medical degree from New York University, do an internship at Duke University Medical Center, and complete his residency at the renowned Bascom Palmer Eye Institute (University of Miami) en route to becoming one of the most respected educators (ex-30 years teaching at the Mayo Clinic), practitioners, and authors (Editor-in-Chief of the American

2022 NYCHSFL Senior Bowl Recap

December 1, 2022

Article by Matt Diano More important than what a scoreboard read on a dreary Wednesday night at Mitchel Field, the memory that will last a lifetime is that for one final occasion, the best and brightest of the NYCHSFL’s class of 2023 got to strap on some pads and play the game they love…It is this sense of camaraderie, of passion, and of sportsmanship that defined us on November 30th, as former rivals were transformed into teammates and brothers!!!   That having been said, a score was kept and when the final horn sounded after 60 minutes (running time) of fierce action that witnessed both sidelines pour their entire being into the pursuit of victory, it was Team Long Island owning the gridiron, as they piggybacked off of the St. Anthony’s Catholic State title win (27-20 over St. Francis) by emerging with a 38-21 triumph over the contingent from New York

2022 Catholic State Finals Recap

December 1, 2022

Article by Matt Diano WHAT A COMEBACK!!!!  For the first 34:49 of action, a St. Anthony’s offensive attack that averaged in excess of 40 points per game this season just could not get anything going…But in the last 13:11, they refused to be denied as they stormed back from a 20-0 deficit to score 27 unanswered points en route to claiming the program’s first Catholic State crown, 27-20, over the host Red Raiders from St. Francis High School… A Black & Gold juggernaut that had grown accustomed to passing at will on their foes, despite the best efforts of senior field general, Dante Torres, the blistering winds simply prevented the vertical game from ever finding its rhythm, as for the first time all season, the Fordham bound signal caller was held without a passing touchdown (snapped a streak of 20-straight appearances with at least one “6” in the air)…ENTER FRANK

The victory, the fourth in the past five chapters for the Bronx based program, raised their overall lead in the saga to 53-41-4!!!
