Latimer easily outpaces Jenkins in CE primary By JAMES PERO Staff Writer Westchester County’s marquis political race of the year has finally solidified its opponents after state Sen. George Latimer convincingly defeated county Legislator Ken Jenkins in a Democratic primary. According to preliminary county Board of Elections tallies, Latimer won the Sept. 12 county executive primary quite comfortably, reeling in 63 percent of the vote to Jenkins’ 37 percent. As of press time, the race logged a little more than 37,000 votes cast in total, while there are about 290,000 active Democratic voters countywide. For Latimer, of Rye, the win will act as another notch in his political belt—having won 18 consecutive elections to date— but will signify only a small step comparatively speaking to what he is gearing up for in his toughest challenge to date this fall. In the coming months, Latimer will look to unseat incumbent County Executive Rob Astorino, a Republican, who has held the county’s highest elected office since 2010. “This will be the toughest,” Latimer admitted. “Every race, once you reach it, it will be the toughest…. But each one makes you stronger for the next race.”

Astorino has already won re-election once, defeating New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson, a Democrat, in 2013. In addition, Astorino has also overcome a sizeable voter registration disadvantage in the county where Democrats outnumber Republicans by more than a 2-to-1 margin. Latimer will also likely be outspent by Astorino, who has approximately $3.2 million in campaign finances, according to filings with the state Board of Elections, as of press time. Meanwhile, Latimer has raised $354,000, according to recent filings. Despite the decisive edge in funding, Latimer has a history of beating opponents who outspend him, including a record-setting race, at the time, against Bob Cohen, a Republican candidate for state senator, in which more than $4.5 million was spent, primarily by Cohen. For Jenkins, of Yonkers, his political career may be over. By choosing to run for county
executive, Jenkins relinquished an opportunity to run for re-election to his legislative seat representing the county’s 16th District; Jenkins has served in that capacity since winning a special election in 2007. Jenkins told the Review that even despite the loss, he will continue to be involved in his community through activism and is ready to throw his full support behind Latimer. “I’m disappointed with the results, but at the end of the day I’ll do whatever things I can do to make sure that [Latimer wins] in November,” he said. In an effort to secure Jenkins’ legislative seat, Democrat Christopher Johnson, a Yonkers City councilman, emerged in a narrow primary victory against Symra Brandon, the chairwoman of the Yonkers Democratic Committee. The county executive is elected to serve a four-year term with a $160,760 annual salary. CONTACT: james@hometwn.com

Sports Hall of Fame inductees announced Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino announced that an Emmy award-winning sports broadcaster and two professional sports draftees were among the new members of the Westchester Sports Hall of Fame, which honors outstanding men and women in the field of professional and amateur sports. “The athletes, coaches, journalists and other notables recognized by the Hall of Fame have set an example for our community, especially for the young people who look up to them,” Astorino said. “This is our way to recognize the enormous contributions they have made to sports and the future.” He said that the Hall of Fame selection committee has named Frank McLaughlin, Rick O’Keeffe, Jimmy Roberts, Paul Natale and Rich Leaf to the 2017 Hall of Fame. McLaughlin was the longtime athletic director at Fordham University, his alma mater, where he was also a star basketball player and a New York Knicks draftee. He was also head coach at Harvard, and coached with Digger Phelps at Fordham and Notre Dame. He began his career in the early 1970s and continues today as Fordham’s vice president of Student Affairs for Athletic Alumni Relations and External Affairs. O’Keeffe had a 27-7 record with
a 0.40 ERA, five no-hitters and a perfect game for Yorktown High School, where he also batted .438. The Milwaukee Brewers drafted him fifth in the nation straight out of high school in 1975. He played 209 games in the minor leagues (53-51) over a span of nine years. Roberts, a White Plains High School graduate, is best known for his work as a sportscaster with NBC and ABC. He has covered the World Series, the Super Bowl, the NBA finals, the Olympics, and the Masters Golf Tournament. He has won 13 Emmy awards. His career began in 1975 and he continues to be active to this day. Natale coached baseball and football at Hendrick Hudson High School beginning in 1971. His career at Hendrick Hudson spanned 35 years. He had more than 500 wins in baseball. Now he volunteers as an adaptive physical education coach with challenged veterans at the Montrose Department of Veterans Affairs Hospital, and is involved with “Play for Freedom,” working with PTSD veterans. Leaf, a Scarsdale High School graduate, is known as “The Voice of the County Center.” He has been the announcer for the Section 1 boys and girls basketball tournaments for 36 years. He is also the
announcer for Iona College men’s and women’s basketball, Scarsdale and Mamaroneck basketball, and numerous tournaments. In addition, he has been officiating soccer since 1981 and is the current president of the Westchester-Putnam Approved Soccer Officials Association. The Hall of Fame honors outstanding professional and amateur sportsmen and sportswomen, living or deceased, who have gained prominence in their fields and who have made substantial contributions to sports in Westchester County. Since its establishment, the organization has inducted more than 200 individuals. The 50th anniversary induction dinner will be held on Thursday, Oct. 19, at the Westchester County Center in White Plains with a reception at 5:30 p.m., and the ceremony at 7 p.m. To attend, contact Kevin Cook at Kdc2@westchestergov.com. In addition, all past inductees are invited for the golden anniversary celebration, and are requested to contact Cook, as should anyone with current contact information for previous inductees. The Westchester Sports Hall of Fame is sponsored by Westchester County Parks. The plaques of the members are on display at the County Center. (Submitted)
Fox charged again in death of M’ville student By FRANCO FINO Staff Writer The Rye woman responsible for running over Manhattanville College student Robby Schartner last year has been indicted on further charges as her case moves into state Supreme Court. Emma Fox, 25, who was charged with an aggravated DWI and first-degree manslaughter for striking and killing the student almost a year ago in an alleged drunken-driving incident, has now been indicted on second-degree vehicular manslaughter, reckless driving, speeding and two counts of driving under the influence of alcohol by the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office. Fox appeared before a grand jury on Sept. 11. Last October, Schartner, of Fishkill, was walking along Westchester Avenue, returning to his Harrison campus from a night out in downtown White Plains, before Fox struck and killed the 21-year-old with her car, a 2012 Nissan Sentra. Fox was travelling eastbound at around 5 a.m. when the incident occurred. The indictment states that Fox told a White Plains police officer she was “driving her car eastbound on Westchester Avenue from Silver Lake to her home in Rye
when she took her eyes off the road to glance at her GPS for directions and felt her vehicle strike an unknown object.” At the time of her arrest, police measured Fox with a blood alcohol level 0.21; the legal limit in New York is 0.08. The new charges come a month after Donna Juliette Ann Hall, Schartner’s mother, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Fox and The Pub, the bar in Rye where she allegedly consumed alcohol for hours. In her lawsuit, Hall is challenging that the bar, which is located on Elm Place, continued to serve Fox between approximately 12 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. while she was “visibly intoxicated” just before the incident. After Schartner’s death, Manhattanville College modified its shuttle bus service hour in response to growing criticism from the student body about the safety of its schedule, which made its final return to campus at 1:30 a.m. The college reinstated Friday and Saturday late night hours from the previous year which had been discontinued. As of press time, the shuttle bus returns to campus as late as 3:30 a.m. under the current schedule. Fox, who is currently out on bail, is set to be arraigned on the

Tuckahoe native advances to U.S. By TAYLOR BROWN General Assignment Reporter
David Fillis, a native of Tuckahoe, was promoted to U.S. Navy captain in August after serving more than 20 years in the Navy Reserves. Fillis was first notified that he was up for promotion six months prior, and attributes this advancement in part to the year he spent working for the Military Sealift Command, MSC, in Kuwait. MSC personnel help transport and restock ships for all U.S. Military services and government agencies. In 2003, Fillis’ MSC team was stationed at the port of Ash Shuaybah, Kuwait, where they worked on Operation Iraqi Freedom, a mission authorized by President George W. Bush to assassinate Saddam Hussein, the fifth president of Iraq. Fillis, 43, and his team helped bring ships in and out that contained military equipment that was then transported to Iraq. “The time I spent in Kuwait was a great experience overall,” Fillis said. “At the time, you were really part of a major operation.” Donald Moore, a U.S. Navy commander, first met Fillis in 2003 where the two served together in MSC, and said that his promotion to captain came as no surprise. Moore described Fillis as “a dependable and sharp officer, all of his shipmates knew that one day he would become a senior officer.”

Fillis and Moore also worked together in 2012 as part of the Reserves MSC expeditionary exercise called Cobra Gold. Their unit conducted port operations, which required them to unload cargo and ammunition in Chuk Samet, Thailand.
Along with his work overseas, Fillis also served as a Navy executive officer, where he served as second-in-command He said that ultimately, advancing to a captain position took “a lot of hard work over a long period of time, so [it was] certainly very satisfying to achieve.” After graduating from Tuckahoe High School, Fillis went on to receive a Bachelor of Science

in Maritime Transportation from U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York, after which he went on to join the Reserves. Fillis currently serves parttime in the Reserves, which requires that he spend one weekend a month at the Naval Operational Support Center at Fort Dix in Trenton, New Jersey. Fillis is also one of roughly 2,000 strategic sealift officers, which are members of the Reserve who are trained to be able to ship out during times of war. In this position, he is required to receive active duty training. This training helps reinforce skills that Navy personnel have been taught, and prepares them for potential mobilization in the future. Training takes place for two weeks out of the year, and can sometimes require going overseas. Due to the amount of traveling, he said that he can be gone upwards of 17 days in a row.

“With young children, this can be a challenge, typically for my spouse,” Fillis said. When Fillis is not fulfilling his Reserve requirements, he works full time as an operations manager at Gener8 Maritime, an international oil transportation service. Because of his busy work life, Fillis tries to spend as much time as possible with his wife and two kids, who he lives with in Riverdale, New Jersey. Fillis said he hopes to be able to continue to work his way up the Navy Officer Ranks. “Competition amongst senior officers in the U.S. Navy is keen, and [Fillis’] promotion to captain demonstrates the Navy’s confidence in his ability to lead at the highest levels,” Moore said.

Westchester honors those who died on 9/11 In a solemn ceremony Monday night, Westchester County paid tribute to those who died in the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, in-
cluding 111 Westchester residents and 12 former residents. County Executive Rob Astorino presided over the 16th anniversary ceremo-
ny that took place at The Rising, the county’s 9/11 memorial. In his remarks, Astorino made special mention of the first respond-
ers who have died since the attack due to 9/11 related illnesses. “On this day 16 years ago, America was wounded—stunned with a body blow as great structures that symbolized our nation and the fabric of our lives were

turned to rubble. Into the horror went our heroes. Without hesitation, cops, firefighters and EMTs rushed to save lives. In doing so, many gave their own,” Astorino said. “Sadly, the dynamism of 9/11 also brings more loss. The bravery did not stop on that day. In the days, weeks, months and years that followed, the mission of saving lives changed to comforting souls; bringing dignity to those who died and closure to those who loved them. For some, these acts of humanity would prove fatal. To work on the Pile was to be surrounded by ash, fumes, and other silent killers.” To an estimated 400 family members and residents that attended the ceremony, Astorino named a number of the fallen first responders who have died in the years after 9/11: • New York City firefighter Luis dePeña, of Mount Vernon • New York City police officer Nicholas Finelli, of Hawthorne • New York City police officer Joseph Heid, of Yonkers • New York City Detective Joseph Seabrook, of Mount Vernon • New York City Detective first grade James W. Monahan, of Ossining • New York City police Capt. Ronald G. Peifer Sr.,
of Hartsdale • Peekskill Detective Charles Wassil Jr., of White Plains • Yonkers police Lt. Roy McLaughlin, of Yonkers • Yonkers police officer Anthony Maggiore, of Cortlandt • Fairview firefighter Robert A. Mentrasti, of Greenburgh
Specifically he cited Battalion Chief Kevin Byrnes Sr., who, after 9/11 spent the next years of his life at the Pile on and around ground zero, died from lung disease in 2004. He is listed as the fifth NYFD firefighter—and the first from Westchester—to have died from illness related to 9/11. During the ceremony, Astorino was joined by Anne Byrnes, the widow of Byrnes, to lay a commemorative wreath on the Beam of Remembrance. Pulled from the ashes of the World Trade Center, the Beam of Remembrance was dedicated in 2013 as “a lasting reminder of our nation’s sacrifice, courage and strength on that fateful day.” “Along with their names, we will tell the world that the lives we lost to 9/11 are lives that make us all stronger,” Astorino said. “The human spirit is a giving spirit that cannot be extinguished. That is the enduring message of 9/11 that we celebrate each year.” (Submitted)

After objections sustained by the Westchester County Board of Elections, Republican candidate for county legislator Norman Rosenblum will have his named stripped from the Independence Party line on the November ballot. According to a letter from the county Board of Elections, 13 objections filed against signatures obtained during a petitioning period earlier this year were nullified. Additionally, the challenge confirmed that Rosenblum failed to obtain the requisite number of signatures to carry the line. According to the letter, 78 signatures were needed, but only 45 were submitted as filed. If the challenge had not been submitted, Rosenblum would have been allowed to carry the line regardless of his failure to obtain the proper number of signatures, as Board of Elections reviews only happen following a formal legal challenge. In the county’s 7th District, which encompasses the race, there are currently 1,547 active voters listed with the Independence Party. “You don’t lose an election on

one particular party,” said Rosenblum, who is also carrying endorsements from the Republican and Conservative lines. “I have full confidence that I’ll be getting a lot of Democratic votes. I’ve won four times in an area that’s 3-to-1 Democratic. People are aware and intelligent enough not to vote party lines.” This would have marked the fourth time that Rosenblum, a four-term mayor in the village of Mamaroneck, had secured the Independence Party’s endorsement in his political career, and also a reversal from a previous county race that saw the party endorse Parker, a Rye Democrat, over her Republican challenger Susan Watson, of Rye. No Republican candidate in any of the county’s legislative districts received an Independence Party endorsement in 2015. The Independence Party boasts
the third largest number of registered voters of any political party in the county, making up about 4 percent of the total number of voters, with 21,555 throughout Westchester. This year’s bid for county legislator will be Rosenblum’s first run for higher office and likely his toughest challenge yet. Parker, a two-term incumbent, dealt readily with Watson in 2015, successfully raking in more than 59 percent of the vote. Westchester County’s 7th District encompasses the city of Rye, the town and village of Mamaroneck, the village of Larchmont, and portions of the city of New Rochelle and the town/village of Harrison. County legislators are elected to serve two-year terms with an annual compensation of $49,200. CONTACT: james@hometwn.com

New Rochelle Opera celebrates Bernstein
Arts Alive grants for artists, arts groups ArtsWestchester works hard to ensure access to the arts for all Westchester residents, especially in areas that are underserved. Arts Alive grants are the most effective means for making this mission a reality. The organization is now accepting applications from nonprofit arts organizations, and individual and teaching artists, for the 2018 grants program. Supported programs incorporate the community and help to bring vibrant arts and cultural activities to a wide audience. Past grants have helped to fund murals, theatrical performances, cultural heritage festivals and more. The deadline for applications is Oct. 4. Funds are available in three categories. Arts Alive Project Grants provide financial support for a range of projects that demonstrate a strong community benefit. Arts Alive Artist Grants provide direct support to artists for the creation of new work related to the community. Arts Alive Arts Education Grants provide support for partnerships between individual artists or organizations and Westchester public schools (K–12), after-school programming or lifelong learning programs. Arts Alive Project Grants are made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program—a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the New York state Legislature—and administered by ArtsWestchester. For guidelines and applications, visit artsw.org/artsalive. -Mary Alice Franklin

A celebration of the 60th anniversary of “West Side Story,” this “Bernstein and Friends” concert will include a guest appearance by baritone Miguel Acevedo and will feature NRO singers Kelli Butler, Edith Dowd, Tom Mulder and Wayne Hu, who will perform selections from “West Side Story” and “Candide.” The program, which will be narrated by NRO’s co-founder and artistic director Camille Coppola, will also include works by Bernstein’s contemporaries, including songs from notable 1950s musicals by Rodgers & Hammerstein, Jerome Kern, George Gershwin and more. The midday performance will be dedicated to Tony Award-winning singer and actress Barbara Cook, who passed away last month. The actress originated the role of Cunegonde in Bernstein’s “Candide.” The performance will take place in the Christopher Murphy Auditorium at Iona College.

Katonah Museum of Art: ‘Wall to Wall’ exhibit
Katonah Museum of Art’s, KMA, “Wall to Wall: Carpets by Artists” exhibition examines the advancement of contemporary art practices through one of history’s most ancient mediums: the artist carpet. The exhibition, on view through Oct. 1, features 17 international artists who demonstrate how and why the carpet continues to be a prominent medium in today’s art realm. Although the carpet is occasionally viewed as an artless item of décor, for present artists it is a source of inspiration because of its illuminating creative components, from color and material to composition and production. The wide range of carpets, organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland and curator Dr. Cornelia Lauf, are hung like paintings on the walls and subtly reveal the collaboration between art, culture, manufacturing and geopolitics. These interwoven relationships expose developments in traditional artisanal techniques throughout the world. In conjunction with the exhibition, KMA will offer a series of events that will provide guests with an in-depth look at “Wall to Wall” and its exhibiting artists. Through Oct. 1, visitors are invited to the KMA’s learning center for a hands-on weaving workshop, where they will contribute to a large weaving installation. Artist Lindsay Carone’s “Twisting Textiles” workshop will instruct participants on how to combine recycled materials and diverse craft techniques to create textured artworks (Sept. 17). “Stroller Tours” and “Senior Socials” will take families and seniors on exclusive tours led by expert docents (Sept. 15). Audiences can also join KMA’s “Picture and Prose Book Club” for a curator-led tour of “Wall to Wall” and a discussion on Marta Morazzoni’s novel “The Invention of Truth,” a story about 300 women who embroidered the 11th century textile masterpiece, “The Bayeux Tapestry” (Sept. 18).

Contemporary dance workshops in Yonkers
Sidra Bell Dance New York, SBDNY, is presenting a series of community outreach workshops in Yonkers this fall. Designed to appeal to a broad range of people of all skill levels, these contemporary dance workshops will encourage
participants to access their imagination while they practice, and learn more about, movement and conditioning. A live DJ, Drew Lewis, will play a blend of jazz, house and electronica music to inspire participants, who will be encouraged to practice improvisation. In addition to the workshop, a company dancer will be on-site to perform a short excerpt of the company’s newest work, “MÖNSTER OUTSIDE.” Each workshop will end with a dialogue about the creative process. Sessions will take place on Sept. 21 and Oct. 20 at PC4 Purchase College Center for Community and Culture in Yonkers. Future dates will be announced. This series is supported by one of ArtsWestchester’s Arts Alive grants. For more information about these workshops and to register, visit sidrabelldanceny.org/outreach. -Mary Alice Franklin
International jazz in downtown White Plains The award-winning White Plains Jazz Fest will continue to bring its international jazz music to downtown White Plains. Presented by ArtsWestchester, the city of White Plains and White Plains BID, the five-day festival, which began on Sept. 13 and continues through Sept. 17, hosts a series of diverse concerts at different venues throughout the city. On Sept. 15, Colombian pianist and composer Pablo Mayor and his “Folklore Urbano” Septet will transport audiences from the stage at ArtsWestchester’s intimate gallery all the way to South America. While Mayor incorporates Afro-Cuban and Latin jazz genres to his compositions, his music primarily preserves the folkloric sound of his native county. He explains, “My sound is modern but at no cost to the traditions, which are at the heart of the music.” On Sept. 16, guests can enjoy a midday performance while they shop at The Galleria at White Plains as Charlie Lagond and Kaleidoscope present jazz fusion, world beat and funk music. Later that evening, Cuban saxophone virtuoso Paquito D’Rivera will join the list of performers with a concert at the White Plains Performing Arts Center. The 14-time Grammy Award winner will bring his lively Latin jazz styles to the stage, including tango, Venezuelan waltz and straight bebop. Jazz Fest culminates with an eclectic blend of sounds, from Brazilian-infused rhythms to soulful New Orleans jazz, during a free, outdoor White Plains Jazz and Food Festival on Mamaroneck Avenue on Sept. 17. The line-up of performers includes SUNY Purchase Jazz All-Stars, Sage, the Kenny Lee All Stars, Steve Kroon’s Latin Jazz Sextet, and Donald Harrison. The full-day celebration will encompass international music, as well as foods of Africa, Cuba, Puerto Rico and more, making the event an allaround cultural experience for all audiences.

Enough of America’s Team LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
Scientists predict that when the big nuclear war comes, wiping humans off the face of the earth, only a scant few life forms on the planet—like cockroaches—will survive the fallout. Of course, one would have to imagine that Dallas Cowboys fans will still be around, too. On Sunday night, I headed out to one of our local establishments to take in the primetime Week One showdown between the Giants and the hated Cowboys. This being the season opener—and New York—I expected to be greeted by a sea of Big Blue jerseys when I walked into the bar. Instead, the place was packed with jerseys proudly bearing the names of Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin and Tony Romo. What, I thought to myself, is going on here? Billing themselves as America’s Team, the Dallas Cowboys do, in fact, have a nationwide fanbase.
It’s not hard to understand why. Throughout the franchise’s history, there have been a few stretches of dominance—like the Roger Staubach-led teams of the 1970s and the Troy Aikman Cowboys of the early 1990s—that have helped the Cowboys become one of the most visible, successful organizations in the NFL. So it’s no surprise that fans who came of age during these periods might have a fondness for the ballclub. But while I can understand how NFL watchers who live in areas without a local team may gravitate to Dallas fandom, I can not for the life of me understand how the tristate area, home to the Cowboys’ biggest rival, has become an absolute breeding ground for Jerry Jones acolytes. I bet Boston Red Sox fans living in New England don’t wander into their local pubs only to find the place crawling with pinstripe-clad Yankee fans. I get it; maybe I’m just salty about the way the Giants played in their 19-3 loss. I mean, had the G-Men not put forth such a subpar
effort, maybe I wouldn’t even have noticed the makeup of the crowd. But with each New York drive that ended in a three-and-out, the Cowboys fans got louder, chirping about how, for the second year in a row, the NFC East was theirs this season. It was certainly not how I wanted to start the 2017 NFL campaign. Right now, what scares me about the Cowboys is that they are poised to be good for a very long time. They’ve got a solid second-year quarterback in Dak Prescott, an all-world running back in Ezekiel Elliot, and the best offensive line in the league. It’s a recipe for sustained success, which means that pretty soon, we’re going to have a new generation of New York-bred Dallas fans taking over our local bars on game day. If this keeps up, I’m going to have to find a new place to watch my games. I hear Antarctica is lovely this time of year.

Panthers ground Bombers FOOTBALL CLASS C/D
RYE NECK 39 PINE PLAINS 13 RYE NECK HS
9/9/17
Game Notes: • Pedro Peter Cueto rushed for three touchdowns, threw for another, and scored on a game-opening kickoff return • With the win, Rye Neck improved to 1-1 • The Panthers will host Tuckahoe next week for their homecoming game
By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor It didn’t take long for Pedro Peter Cueto to get things started on Saturday afternoon. With his Rye Neck team looking for its first win of the season against Section IX Pine Plains on Sept. 9, the senior quarterback opened the game with a bang, returning the opening kickoff 74 yards for a touchdown. Cueto would be far from done, however, as his stellar performance, coupled with some inspired defensive play, helped the Panthers come away with a 39-13 win on the afternoon. According to Cueto, a quick start was important for a Panther team that lost its season opener to Haldane last week. “I think we came in overconfident last week, so we just wanted to prepare better this week,” Cueto said. “And scoring so quickly, I think we got a little bit of confidence from that.” Cueto’s contributions were felt in all facets of the game, as the signal caller rushed for 88 yards and three touchdowns, connected with tight end Matt Quartararo for another score, and came away with a key interception in the first half to spearhead a tremendous defensive effort. According to Rye Neck head coach Nick Ianello, it was Cueto’s athleticism that made him a prime candidate to run the offense this year after spending last season as one of the Panther’s primary running backs. “This is what we were hoping to see from him,” Ianello said. “And I think the decision-making, once he gets used to the position, is only going to get better.” Ianello was also pleased with
his team’s defensive effort as his Panthers pitched a shutout for nearly three quarters of football. “I think last week we were a bit nervous and had the first week jitters,” he said. “We’re a young team, but I think we learned from last week and did a good job preparing this week.” “We were working all week at practice, especially in the secondary, on our run reads,” Cueto added. “And I think that really paid off today.” At 1-1 on the year, the Panthers will look to get above .500 this weekend when they host Tuckahoe in their homecoming game. The Tigers are also 1-1, and could present some matchup problems on the outside, with a 6-foot-5 deep threat in Alex Williams lining up at wide receiver. But Ianello feels that the biggest challenge facing the Panthers this week will be doing a better job on holding onto the football. Against Pine Plains, Rye Neck fumbled a total of five times. “When you run that spread stuff, there’s a lot of timing you have to get down, so we’re going to have to spend some time working on [ball security] this week,” Ianello said. “We’re going to be seeing a really tough, talented Tuckahoe team, so we are going to need to be better.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com

Somers 21 Rye 14 At Rye HS
9/8/17
In a battle between Section I’s two winningest coaches, Tony DeMatteo’s Somers outlasted Dino Garr’s Rye in an epic early-season showdown between two of the top programs in Class A. The Garnets found themselves down 14-0 heading into the fourth quarter, but were able to climb back into the game, finding the end zone twice, first on a run by Billy Chabot and again on a completion from junior quarterback Reid Tolley to Gavin Kenny. But Rye’s inability to hold onto the ball—they would commit six turnovers on the evening— proved the difference-maker as their final interception of the night led to the game-winning Tuskers’ score late in the fourth quarter. Apart from the four interceptions, Rye’s quarterback tandem played well, as Tolley and sophomore Declan Lavelle combined to complete 17 passes for 203 yards. The win puts the defending state champs at 2-0 on the season, while Rye fell to 1-1. They will have a chance to get back over the .500 mark this week, when they
travel to Eastchester to take on an undefeated Eagles squad. Last week, the Eagles hung a 43-0 loss on Lincoln, led by a 202-yard passing performance from quarterback Mark Loparrino.

Overall, the Hornets tallied 18 shots on goal, eight of which were stopped by Garnet goalie Maggie Devlin. The Garnets will host Nyack on Sept. 14, after press time.
