| Big Apple 7 on 7 Shootout Recap |
Competing in the Big Apple 7 on 7 Shootout on Saturday, June 13, the Croton Tigers took the tournament´s namesake to heart. Croton, the New York state Class C runnerup last season, outgunned the other 15 teams and scored in bunches to take home the tournament´s championship trophy at White Plains High School. In a 7 on 7 marathon that lasted from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m., Croton proved to have the most firepower and endurance, running and gunning down the field from start to finish.
With a light drizzle falling under the bright lights, the Tigers defeated Section 2´s Class AA champion La Salle 21-7 in the title game. Croton rising-seniors Joe Tralli and Tyler Dorien garnered offensive and defensive MVP honors, respectively, but both players were instrumental on both sides of the ball. Dorien, taking over for the graduated Nick Mainiero at quarterback, completed 11 of 23 passes for 166 yards and three touchdowns against La Salle, with Tralli hauling in two of the scores. Dorien unveiled a cannon for an arm right from the get-go, connecting on a number of deep balls in the early going. Tralli made several spectacular grabs and was a ball-hawk defensively. The two MVPs seemed to be in synch the entire day, with Dorien knowing exactly where Tralli was going to be each play.
"It´s all about timing," Tralli said after the championship win. He emphasized how much time the duo has spent working together at Sunday practices, also noting that their friendship off the field has helped them team up on it.
"Tyler´s been groomed for that job," Croton coach John Catano said of Dorien, who learned behind starter Nick Mainiero for three years. "He really set the tone today."
The other participants in the Shootout were Rye Neck, Irvington, Spring Valley, Clarkstown North, Sleepy Hollow, Pleasantville, North Rockland, Haldane, Carmel, John Jay-Cross River, Stepinac, Brookfield (CT), and two squads from White Plains. The first round matchups in the single-elimination playoffs following pool play were Pleasantville defeated Stepinac, La Salle defeated Sleepy Hollow, Irvington defeated Brookfield, and Croton defeated Spring Valley. Croton and La Salle then defeated Irvington and Pleasantville, respectively, in the semifinals.
La Salle featured rising-senior quarterback Mike Murray, who threw for 1,408 yards and 16 touchdowns a year ago. The Cadets are familiar with Section 1 competition following their season-ending loss to New Rochelle in the state tournament in 2008. La Salle coach Al Rapp enjoyed the experience of going head-to-head with some of Section 1´s best.
"It was a good time," he said. "We were pleased. It´s all about the chance to compete."

| 2009 Player Evaluation Day Recap |
On a bright, sunny Saturday at New Rochelle High School, players from all over Section 1 showed that they could not wait for August to roll around in order to start the football season. 94 of Section 1’s most dedicated and talented football players kicked off the start to their 2009 season on May 30, putting on a showcase of skills and athleticism at the third annual Section1Recruiting, Inc. Player Evaluation Day.
Players worked relentlessly from the early morning to the late afternoon, displaying their abilities in front of coaches from Hartwick College, Utica College, St. Anselm College, SUNY-Morrisville, Trinity College, Amherst College, Pace University, SUNY-Maritime, and Southern Connecticut State University. During the combine drills in the morning, the college coaches were wowed by Eastchester running back Kevin Bronner’s scorching 4.50 40-yard dash. Equally impressive was Ossining´s Dakota Degree´s 32 reps in the 185lb bench press and his 34.0´ ft throw in the Power ball Toss. New Rochelle´s Lewis Edney ran scorching times in the Pro Agility and 3 Cone "L" drill of 4.20 and 6.91 respectively.
In the afternoon there were a number of impressive performances in individual drills run by the college coaches, led by these position MVP’s: receiver Andrew Spinelli (Rye Neck), offensive lineman Steven Nardini (Brewster), quarterback MJ Garrity (Brewster), running back Kevin Bronner (Eastchester), defensive lineman Dakota Degree (Ossining), linebacker Montell Parris (New Rochelle), and defensive back Sean Rohde (Lourdes). The day’s highest honor, though, went to New Rochelle defensive back Lewis Edney, the overall MVP. Edney dominated afternoon drills, flashing quickness, instincts, and glue-like hands in picking off throw after throw in passing drills.
It was an impressive day overall, and proved once again that the Player Evaluation Day is THE event of the Spring/Summer high school football season, and is a great way to kickoff the 2009 season. This event is rapidly becoming the measuring stick of who has worked the hardest, and who is the most dedicated in Section 1 football. It´s an event that must be circled on every underclassman´s calendar. The 4th Annual Player Evaluation Day is tentatively scheduled for Saturday May 22, 2010.
