Oct. 12 HVSR Footballl Rankings

1. HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
POWER RANKINGS
OCT. 12, 2014
Mahopac (4-2) – The Indians have been in and out and
around the HVSR Power Rankings all season, but their 27-7
victory over archrival Carmel on Carmel’s home field was
impressive. Mahopac gets a very winnable game against
White Plains this weekend.

2. HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
POWER RANKINGS
OCT. 12, 2014
Millbrook (4-2) – For the Blazers, the playoffs have already
begun. Millbrook needed to beat Tri-Valley on Friday night and
did so by 38 points. Now it needs to beat Liberty this week to
finish 2-1 in the league and then hope for the best when
Sullivan West and Liberty play the following week.

3. HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
POWER RANKINGS
OCT. 12, 2014
Marlboro (4-2) – A little shaky in the first half of Saturday’s
35-21 win over Red Hook, and that’s not us saying that.
Marlboro coach Rich Ward was not pleased with a first-half
effort that saw the Iron Dukes on the low end of a 21-7
score. But, for now, Marlboro clinched a playoff berth and
prepares for Burke and Highland.

4. HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
POWER RANKINGS
OCT. 12, 2014
Newburgh (4-2) – 72 points. Don’t care how bad the
opponent is, especially at the Class AA level, 72 points is
72 points. Newburgh crushed Pine Bush and is just licking
its chops for another shot at Monroe-Woodbury in the
playoffs.

5. HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
POWER RANKINGS
OCT. 12, 2014
Lourdes (5-1) – Lourdes was in the driver’s seat for the
Section One, Class B title before giving up two scores in
the final nine minutes in a loss to Ardsley. The Warriors
have already clinched a playoff berth so now it’s just a
matter of playing for seedings and a first-game home
game.

6. HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
POWER RANKINGS
OCT. 12, 2014
Highland (5-1) – Tough loss for Class B Highland against
Class C Sullivan West, but West is a pretty darn good
Class C team. No matter. The important thing for
Highland is the Huskies have already clinched a playoff
berth in Section Nine, Class B and are looking at the huge
showdown with Marlboro in two weeks for the top seed.

7. HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
POWER RANKINGS
OCT. 12, 2014
Wallkill (5-1) – Easy win over Goshen behind three TDs
from A.J. Dembroski. Some will question the leap in the
rankings, especially over two teams (Highland and
Lourdes) that just lost their first games, but you have to
give respect where it’s due. One point – ONE point –
separates the Panthers from an undefeated season.

8. HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
POWER RANKINGS
OCT. 12, 2014
FDR (5-1) Big, big, big-time comeback for the Presidents,
who looked as awful as they could in falling behind 14-0 at
the half to Valley Central only to rally for 22 unanswered
points in the second half to win it. FDR is in the driver’s
seat for a playoff berth.

9. HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
POWER RANKINGS
OCT. 12, 2014
Arlington (5-1) – An easy win over Ketcham propels
Arlington all the way to the No. 2 spot this week, which
is just as much based on the Admirals five consecutive
victories. Arlington is clicking right now and would love
another shot at John Jay in the playoffs.

10. HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
POWER RANKINGS
OCT. 12, 2014
John Jay (5-1) – No change at the top. Another easy victory
for the Patriots as Brad Belotti leads the team to a 34-6
victory over White Plains. That was more than enough to
give John Jay back the top seed in the playoffs using the
Piner Scoring System. It should hold with no problem.
