Applauding the Championship Weekend MVP’s

November 21, 2019

By Matt Diano: AAA Champions – Cardinal Hayes Henry Belin (So; QB; Offensive MVP)—There is a saying in high school and college sports that “no one is a rookie anymore when the postseason rolls around.” In the case of the Cardinals’ 6’3, 200-pound sophomore field general, no truer words could be spoken as it pertains to the way he has taken his game to the next level during the course of the past three weeks in propelling Cardinal Hayes to their first triple-A title since 2016. Not named to the POTW list at any point during the regular season, Belin has now been selected twice (also selected following the quarterfinals) during the playoffs and in all fairness, probably had a compelling argument to be nominated for all three of his performances. Completing 28 of 38 pass attempts for 452 yards and six touchdowns, while rushing for 56 yards and an

Week 7 Players of the Week

October 23, 2019

By Matt Diano: Emilio Ramirez (Sr.); QB – Holy Trinity Titans On an afternoon when the school honored one of the best teams in program history (the 2009 AAA Regula Season Champions & Playoff Runners-up), it was the 5’7, 165-pound, junior field general that truly owned the day in shepherding the Green & White to a 40-14 victory over visiting Kennedy Catholic, in a A/AA crossover on October 20th. Putting his dual-threat capabilities on full display in helping HT to their second win of the 2019 season, Ramirez accumulated 155 yards of comprehensive contribution, rushing for 104 yards on eight carries, and throwing for an additional 55 yards on 3-for-6 passing. The East Meadow resident’s multi-tasking prowess would translate directly into three scores for Holy Trinity, as he utilized his legs to explode for a 67-yard TD run and showed excellent precision with his arm in enemy territory, connecting on

Week 6 Players of the Week

October 17, 2019

Nicholas DeStefano (Jr.); RB – St. Francis Prep Terriers Having rushed for 109 yards through the first five weeks of the season, it is doubtful that those in attendance this past Saturday were expecting the 5’8, 161-pound, 11th grader [DeStefano] to have the kind of breakout performance that he did in the Terriers’ 35-14 road victory over St. Peter’s… Treating the SFP faithful to a demonstration of offensive explosion, the Middle Village resident was the first student-athlete this season for Head Coach, Rich Carroll, to surpass the 100+ milestone, gaining 155 and scoring three touchdowns on 10 carries to single-handedly account for more than half of the school’s point total. The aforementioned three scores, all of which occurred during the second half, were highlighted by a remarkable 43-yard dart to the house. In crossing the goal line on three separate occasions, DeStefano is believed to be the first St. Francis

Xavier & CHSFL Communities Mourn the Loss of Coach John Kelly

June 6, 2018

From Xavier: Xavier mourns the passing of John Kelly P’09 ’10, Honorary Graduate of the Class of 2015, husband of Janine, father of Seamus ’09 and Sean ’10, and freshman football and rugby coach from 2005-15. John passed away after a long and courageous battle with ALS. In learning of Kelly’s passing, Xavier’s president Jack Raslowsky noted: “St. Irenaeus said that ‘the glory of God is a man fully alive.’ John Kelly was such a man. In his love for Janine, Seamus and Sean, in his love for the young men of Xavier, in his work with our teams and athletes, John was indeed the glory of God. He was a model of goodness and kindness, loyalty and friendship, and love for others. I count my friendship with John as one of the great gifts of my time as president of Xavier.” Please pray for the family and repose of the soul of John Kelly at
