Pee Wee Division
The Silvestri Carpet Spartans turned in a great game against The Food Factory Ramblers, defeating them 19 to 6. Three different players scored the Spartans touchdowns. Jordan Dabkowski started things off by scoring on a 60-yard run. Quarterback Christopher Campuzano threw for two scores, one a 25-yard strike to Joseph Silvestri and the other one a 15-yard bullet to William Espinal. Campuzano, caught the eye of “The Chief”, who remarked this kid has a great arm. All of this scoring would not be possible is it wasn’t for the great blocking of the Spartans offensive line led by Victor Falu, Anthony Russo, Joseph Aparicio, Nicolas Flores and Nicholas Gennarelli. On defense, Nicholas Zayas had an interception and two quarterback sacks, Sean Vanegas had an interception, and Enrique Santiago made a great open field tackle to stop a Rambler drive. The Spartans defensive line led by Kamhan McLeod, Tank Czerniewski, and Nicholas Gennarelli put pressure on the Rambler offense all game long.
The Anthony‘s Collision Redskins defeated the Dr. David Stevens Steelers 27 to 0. Four different Redskins, Jonathan Castillo, Tariq Davis, Angel Nevarez and Ryan Cox scored touchdowns. On defense, Michael Booth and Davis put pressure on the Steelers quarterback all game long. Zaire Thornhill had a fumble recovery to stop a Steeler drive.
In the first Pee Wee of the day the Kleen-Awn Blue Devils defeated the Jimmy Ryan’s Crusaders 20 to 0.

On the Saints first drive of the game Jeremy Vega had a 55-yard run, David Rivas Torres added another 9 yards, Vega finished off the drive with a 40-yard touchdown run. Vega added the winning touchdown on the Saints second possession scoring from the 11. On defense, Steven Ramos had two big tackles in the backfield. Tyron Ingram played great defense all day long. Paget Bramble had a sack. David Rivas Torres had an interception. The Knights offense started slowly in the first half, but in the second half made a great turn around. Their only touchdown came from great blocking by Malachi Lozada, a great pass by Tony Monserrate to Richard Johnson who made a fantastic catch for the touchdown. On defense, like the offense, the Knights started slow, but quickly woke up. After giving up two Saint runs for touchdowns on the outside, the ends spread out to stop the Saints sweep. The Saints defense was led by Richard Guzman, Dionys Deleon, Monserrate and Lozada.

Back in late July, the Warriors traveled to Gorton HS in Yonkers for their first scrimmage of the season. They faced off against the Yonkers Gladiators and were soundly outplayed on offense and defense en route to a very humbling defeat. The loss provided the coaches and players with an opportunity to work on weaknesses that their opponent had exploited. The Warriors got their chance on Sunday 9/27 as they hosted the Gladiators in a week four matchup. The results were vastly different as the Warriors cruised to a 34-6 victory. Leading the way was a dominating defense which held the opposing offense to just 2 first downs. The only Gladiator score was the result of a kickoff return after the Warriors first score of the game. Leading the defensive effort were ILB’s Edwin Webber and CJ Holcomb who were all over the field. The defensive backs also did a great job in locking up the passing game. Joey Alba, Giancarlo Furio, and Angel Aponte were consistently in position giving the defensive line time to harass the QB. The defensive front of Jay Gonzalez, Donvito Kuinlan, Justin Acosta, Niko Bajana, and TJ Bowman not only pressured the QB but stuffed the rushing attack as well. You can’t score 34 points without a good offensive performance by your playmakers and that is exactly what the Warriors received on Sunday. QB James Werner continued his impressive season by throwing for 124 yards and 2 TD’s. Split end Tyrell Halliman hauled in a 26-yard strike for his second score of the season. CJ Holcomb busted a 68 yard TD run and blocked great for his teammates. Fullback Jayson Gonzalez was a truck in gaining 88 hard fought yards and scoring a TD. Tailback Domenic Arena showed his versatility in scoring on a 39-yard TD reception, a weaving 65-yard TD run and throwing an extra point conversion to split end Tyler Zaborski. As the Warriors rolled up over 350 yards of total offense, the offensive line cannot be overlooked. Center Kedar Smith, guards Jonathan Collins and Donvito Kuinlan, and tackles Niko Bajana and DJ Cassidy all deserve credit for a job well done. The 3-0-1 Warriors will next face off against the NY Warriors who finished last season as the 4th ranked team in the country.
