Looking for an evaluation of the Fordham Prep football team from its head coach? Pete Gorynski’s answer varies depending on when you ask the question. “My assessment of this team has been schizophrenic,” he said. “From minute to minute it changes....
Ryan Camilo got to play the role of understudy last season. The junior was moved up from the junior varsity in late October and even started a game in place of the now graduated Kwamayne Davis. The 5-foot-9, 220-pound quarterback completed 11-of-18...
Taylor Ford is about doing whatever it takes. No task or play is too small for the Nazareth forward as long as it aides in her squad coming out on the winning end of the scoreboard. Ford is tenacious on the boards, dives on the floor and finishes...
A year ago, they were the darlings of the CHSAA, a squad comprised largely of sophomores that took eventual Class A intersectional champion Archbishop Molloy to the brink before losing in overtime in the semifinals. Those sophomores are now...
Truman has its fair share of athletes, beasts in the trenches and all-around skilled football players this year. But the Mustangs might not be able to...
Last winter was a trying time for the veterans on the John F. Kennedy football team. It was bad enough that the Knights were coming off one of the worst seasons in program history, missing the playoffs for just the fourth time in three decades....
Mount St. Michael has reason to be throwing the word "confidence" around. At the end of last season the young Mountaineers jelled. They rallied behind the sudden death of teammate Kyle Rembert and were one of the CHSFL’s hottest team on their way...
As recently as late last season, David Diaz was against moving down from the PSAL’s City Championship division to the Bowl division. The program’s...
Anthony Glover raised the Tournament of Champions trophy high above his head for all to see. There was a look of joyous satisfaction on the former St. John’s University standout’s face after three seasons of disappointment in the event and a summer...
Rashawn Stores played in Rucker Park before, but not quite like this. The former All Hallows standout took part in the famed Harlem playground's EBC league, playing on the blacktop in front of energetic crowds. Last weekend Stores got to...

When Daniel Dingle smiles, the sun reflecting off his silver braces, it’s easy to remember he’s only halfway through high school. The St. Raymond rising junior has a babyface and a quiet politeness that lend to his youth. However, his game on the...
Durand Scott’s shoulders sagged and his head drooped down. His voice was raspy and nearly inaudible. One would have thought the former Rice High star just lost an NCAA tournament game at Miami, where he just completed his freshman season. But in...
Kasim Alston has good reason for calling Imani Tate one of his favorite players. The Bishop Loughlin guard possesses many of the innate qualities a coach is looking for in a young player. She is a hustler with a solid basketball IQ. Tate can be...
The worst is over, the long road to recovery is essentially in the rear-view mirror and the day that China Crosby can play in a basketball game again is drawing nearer. The Manhattan Center grad and McDonald’s All-American had her freshman season...
Kerwin Okoro wasn’t known for his 3-point shooting acumen as a sophomore this past winter at St. Raymond. The 6-foot-4 forward did most of his work in the lane, finishing strong around the basket. This summer, though, Okoro has worked diligently on...

The St. Joseph by the Sea football team made history last year, going 6-1 during the regular season and beating eventual CHSFL Class AAA champion St. Anthony’s for the first time. But Phil Corhan is more concerned about the Vikings playoff history....
The Port Richmond you see in Week 1 might not be the same one you see in Week 7. At least that’s the plan for coach Lou Vesce. Now two years removed from a PSAL city title, the Red Raiders could have as many as 13 sophomores on the roster. The hope...
Aaliyah Lewis views the game like a quarterback. Picture an imaginary offensive line standing in front of the Bishop Ford point guard as she dribbles the ball calmly at the top of the key. She isn’t in a rush to move, but is aware of everything...
The nickname Danny Jennings received at Dyckman on Tuesday night from famed emcee Joe Pope was better than both of them even realized. “What’s a...
There will not be a return trip to Williamsport for the South Shore National Little League. The Staten Island dynamo, which reached the Little League World Series last year, received an excellent performance from starter Nicholas Meola, but was...
DISTRICT HEIGHTS, Md. – To Kevin White, Christine Kline is like a catchy radio jingle. The first time you hear it, you might not notice. But after multiple times, you can’t help having it get stuck in your head. “You have to watch her play a few...
WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. – It’s easy to figure out Lisa Laursen’s highlight of the 2010 Empire State Games and it has nothing to with an individual...
Anthony Varvaro is five years removed from St. John’s, but he’s just a short drive away from Seattle. The Staten Island native has earned his first Triple-A call-up and will fly to Tacoma Wednesday just two days after pitching in his second...
Ashley Motrechuk can knock down 3-pointers. She will fly all over the court for loose balls and save them out of bounds. The St. Peter’s rising senior can drive to the basket and dribble up the floor to break a press – but she is not a guard. What...
As a player at McKee/Staten Island Tech in the late 1990s, Kevin Hughes forged a reputation on Staten Island. “I loved the way he played,” said St. Peter’s coach John Eberlein, who at the time was the head coach at Curtis. “He was old school, he...
Citing the inability to field a team able to compete in the CHSAA Brooklyn/Queens ‘B’ division, Moore Catholic athletic director Rich Postiglione informed the league that the Mavericks will not play in the CHSAA this season. Postiglione notified...

Like it has been, Staten Island was the capital of New York City softball this season. St. Joseph by the Sea had one of its best years ever. The Vikings won the CHSAA Staten Island title, the CHSAA Archdiocesan title and finally the CHSAA state...
What a year it was on Staten Island. Led by Jon Silva, Zach Granite, Kevin Krause and a seemingly endless cast of characters, Tottenville won the PSAL Class A title, its 11th championship, while St Joseph by the Sea, buyoed by Nick Pavia, Chris...
Timminses are tough. They can fight through anything. Curtis standout defensive end James Timmins kept repeating those eight words to himself – words his father, James D. Timmins, often spoke. He told them to himself on his way home from his...
