November 3, 2023

#1 Moore Catholic (5-4) vs. #8 St. Francis Prep (2-7) When: Saturday November 4th, 2023 @Noon Where: Moore Catholic HS Campus (100 Merrill Ave, Staten Island, NY 10314) Previous Meeting: “First Meeting of 2023” Overview: Bridesmaids in each of the past two seasons to schools that have since been elevated to the Triple-A division, 2023 is very much shaping up to be the year that the Mavericks claim their fourth Metro Catholic Crown in school history (first since 2019)…. Their win/loss record slightly misleading when you consider that all three blemishes were to either out-of-state foes or NYCHSFL triple-A title contenders (Monsignor Farrell & Iona Prep), the “Merrill Avenue Mafia” is cooking with gasoline on both sides of the ball as become apparent when they strung together four consecutive victories between weeks 4-7 (including back-to-back shutouts over Chaminade and St. John the Baptist)…. Incorporating a very balanced attack on the

#1 Archbishop Stepinac (7-2) vs. #8 Chaminade (1-7) When: Friday November 3rd, 2023 @7pm Where: Archbishop Stepinac HS Campus (950 Mamaroneck Ave, White Plains, NY 10605) Watch: LocalLive (Stepinac page) Previous Meeting: Stepinac 42-21 on October 21st (Week #7) Overview: Semifinalists or better (crowns in 2014, 2015, 2017, and 2018) in every season since 2013, the top-seeded Crusaders were on fire during the regular season homestretch, winning their final four appearances, including a statement-making 56-35 triumph last weekend over the defending NYCHSFL and Catholic State Champion Friars of St. Anthony’s….Hence, to say that they are primed to make a deep run into the postseason is a major understatement!! With embarrassments of riches on both sides of the ball, it will be a test between the two units to see which side can be the ones to steal the show…. When Stepinac played the visiting Flyers during week #7, it was

2023 NYCHSFL POTW #8

November 1, 2023

Week #8 (October 27th-28th, 2023) Yasire Dejeus (Sr.); DE – Monsignor Farrell Lions The captain and foundation for the #1 rated defense (surrendering just 14.2ppg) in the NYCHSL’s Triple-A division this season, the 6’1, 220-pound, three-year hometown hero for the Lions of Monsignor Farrell [Dejesus] has been long overdue to have the spotlight shined on him!! Garnering his first Player of the Week distinction in the final regular season game of his scholastic career, Coach Rocco Del Priore was spot on when he used the word, “TERROR” to describe the manner in which #40 tormented and/or tortured visiting Kellenberg Memorial in a 28-7 win on October 27th that locked up a top-3 seed for the AAA playoffs!!! Never one to play passively or take a down off (entered having recorded 5 or more stops in 19 games over the course of the past three falls), the fact that Dejesus established

2023 NYCHSFL POTW #7

October 25, 2023

Week #7 (October 20th-22nd, 2023) Jon Bartolomei (Sr.); QB/DB – St. Dominic’s Bayhawks Welcome back to the club, Bayhawks!!!   Earning their first Player of the Week honor since week #7 of the 2017 season (per our records) following a 27-6 conquest over Cardinal Spellman on the afternoon of Saturday October 21st, St. Dom’s Head Coach, Gian Villante, could not have asked for a more comprehensive and utterly outstanding effort than the one he received out his two-way starting senior stud [Bartolomei]!! Getting the job done on both sides of the ball to deliver the second victory of the fall to the Oyster Bay based program, the 5’7, 155-pound resident of Deer Park went from having accounted for just one touchdown in his previous four appearances (22-yard TD pass in a victory over Yonkers Force in week #0) to striking for THREE in a single afternoon, as he almost single-handedly defeated

2023 NYCHSFL POTW #6

October 18, 2023

Week #6 (October 13th-15th, 2023) Steven Dowdy Jr. (Jr.); WR – Iona Prep Gaels Already sitting in the driver’s seat be the Gaels’ triple-crown winner in the receiving categories, not to mention the current chart-topper in the entire NYCHSFL with 36 catches heading into week #6, the 11th grader out of the Bronx [Dowdy Jr.] did nothing but further add to the legacy he is establishing in 2023 by emerging with program-highs of 3 hauls for 63 yards, and a pair of TD catches in Iona Prep’s 46-35 victory over Cardinal Hayes on Saturday afternoon!  His immense body of work raising his seasonal totals to 39 snatches for 455 yards, the pair of previously cited TDs (giving him 5 on the year) marked the first multi-touchdown reception game of his varsity career!! Registering the first of his two touchdown-yielding grabs with host, IP, holding a 10-7 lead, Dowdy Jr. slipped

October 12, 2023

Chaminade (1-4) vs. Moore Catholic (3-3) When: Sunday October 15th, 2023 @1:30pm Where: Goldstar Stadium on the Chaminade HS campus (340 Jackson Ave, Mineola, NY 11501) Watch: LocalLive (Chaminade Feed) Players to Watch (Chaminade) *Tyler Granito (Sr.; QB)—In our GOTW preview last weekend, we suggested that we needed to see better accuracy out of the senior QB for the Flyers; and Granito delivered on that raised expectation, as he completed 10-of-15 pass attempts for 94 yards while recording just his second multiple-TD toss performances of the year (2) in the win over Kellenberg! *Timothy Murphy (Jr.; QB)—Added to the list of players to watch, Chaminade has been utilizing their back-up signal caller in kind of a “freshman Tim Tebow” package where they capitalize off of his combination of size (6’2, 210-pound) and speed to bolster the running game….His role in this capacity increasing with each passing week, Murphy banked his

2023 NYCHSFL POTW #5

October 12, 2023

Week #5 (October 6th-8th, 2023) Kenneth Antoine (Sr.); RB – Cardinal Hayes Cardinals ONE SNAP!!!!   That is exactly how long it took the 6’0, 190-pound senior from Harlem to set the tone for the kind of afternoon it was going to be both individually and collectively for the Cardinal flock in their 34-0 dub against Holy Trinity on October 7th! Taking the hand-off on the opening play of the game on Saturday afternoon, Antoine struck for 80 his 151 total yards rushing (12 carries), going all the way to the promised land to give Hayes the immediate 6-0 edge!!! Later in the day, with the cushion having expanded to 22-0, the explosive #22 shirt would not be the one to punch it in, but he handled the banner part of the workload, as two long runs early in the third quarter advanced the pigskin inside the opposing red zone (HT
