  6. League C

    League C fans are so rediculous its not even funny. Honestly, no one wants to hear how you guys think your the best league to ever play because youre so far from it. Scaresdale just beat your league champion in a SECTIONAL game and they beat Ketcham the week before that with their #3 pitcher. Just get over yourself already. Just because you guys beat up on eachother does not mean that you are the best. Its not everyone elses fault that you guys cant find ONE DOMINANT TEAM in your league.

  7. Jolly Green Giant

    Mamaroneck over Arlington
    Ketcham over Yorktown
    Suffern over Scarsdale
    JJCR over either of those two

    Lakeland over Ardsley
    Lourdes over Pelham
    Eastchester over Hen Hud
    Somers over Rye

    JFK over either of those two
    Briarcliff over Put Valley
    Nanuet over Rye Neck
    North Salem over Dobbs Ferry

    Jolly Green Giant and Baseball, Baseball, Baseball!!!
    why lourdes over Pelham?

  9. Baseball, Baseball, Baseball!!!

    Just going with a gut feeling…just think Lourdes played tougher overall schedule…taking nothing away from Pelham…You don’t have the record they did with a bunch of slygs on your team…I think the game can go either way…I just think Lourdes wins in a tight one…They usually play pretty well in the playoffs.

  10. Mr Happy

    It’s over for Lourdes. They threw their 2 best pitchers to get by Beacon

  11. Baseball, Baseball, Baseball!!!

    You see Mr Happy…I wasn’t nasty, no need for you to be

  12. 1-c

    League C i very much disagree with u. league c is by far the most challenging league in the section. I mean u said it urself, there is not one dominating team. U got JJEF,KETCHEM,MAHOPAC and arlington, all tough teams. Mamarneck is playing carmel the worst in the league. Not taking anything away from mamaroneck, they’re a great team, but they do not compare to league c. It would be awesome to see mamrneck in league c and see how theyre record would have fell down. Prob the same as every team in league c, if not worse. League c has all the teams in the top 10 besides carmel i believe, and they all respect eachother. Keep it up league c, we usually guarntee the section. Basically what i am saying is Mamaroneck is very overrated. Easy schedule.

  13. 1-c

    and look at all the scholar athletes too. we got future college players, not average, very good. Panik,Chokie,Ketchum has about 4 or 5. there pitching is unbelieveable with there staff having great era’s, the 3 pitchers on pac have excellent era’s. arlington has 3 power hitters. we got talent, and its good that we know it

  14. lohud

    You seem to be quite the scholar yourself

  15. peanut gallery

    If you haven’t noticed, the league that Pelham plays in contains 4 of the 8 teams in the Class A quaterfinals tomorrow – so much for having an easy schedule this year!

Dan Diaz, Nanuet, infielder: Eyes turned to the junior shortstop/pitcher after his 17-strikeout virtuoso on May 2. His next start was a no-hitter, followed by a two-hit shutout. Using a biting slider and upper 80s fastball, he went 7-1 with a 2.10 ERA and 84 strikeouts in 46.2 innings. Over the last month he batted .550 to raise his season average to .446. His 1.258 OPS was No. 3 in the county; his ERA was No. 4. ( Peter Carr / The Journal News )
Steve Putnick, Pearl River, utility: The graduations of Sean Giblin, Ian Reese, and Jeff Allison left Putnick, a pitcher/third baseman, as Pearl River’s one returning star. The Pirates were 6-3 in his starts; 6-9 otherwise. The senior, who will walk on at Marist, threw more innings than anyone in Rockland except Aviles. He was a table-setter in the 3-hole, reaching base nearly half the time. ( Peter Carr / The Journal News )
Adonis Germosen, East Ramapo, infielder: The Titan bats didn’t hit like they were supposed to, with one exception. Germosen, a senior catcher, belted homers in three straight games before April was even half over ‹ the last of which Carmel coach Bob Shilling called the farthest he’s ever seen at his home field. He hit a county-high six while scoring 24 runs and driving in 20, earning a late roster spot at St. Thomas Aquinas. ( Peter Carr / The Journal News )
Bill Smith, Nanuet, outfielder: The senior provided the legs in Nanuet’s multi-pronged attack. He swiped a base in 13 different games and led the county with 16 steals overall. Part of that was opportunity ‹ he hit over.400 with a .479 on-base percentage. Because of all his mischief on the basepaths, he scored 25 runs, third-best in Rockland. ( Peter Carr / The Journal News )
Ron Gamma, Suffern, coach of the year: After suffering a disheartening 16-0 loss on opening day, it became a wire-to-wire season for the Mounties, who quickly established themselves as the top team in Rockland and proved it by making the Class AA sectional final. Other coaches were most impressed that Gamma negotiated his way through 12 League I-B games without a loss. He knew when to step in and when to cede decisions to his pitching coach. ( Peter Carr / The Journal News )
Jordan Kolinsky, Clarkstown South, infielder: When the senior was shelved with an ankle injury in mid-May, Clarkstown South tumbled. The Vikings went 0-7 with their pitcher/first baseman first sidelined and then hobbled. Despite the handicap, Kolinsky managed to bat .414 with 28 RBI. As a pitcher he was carefully confusing, never throwing the same speed twice in the same at-bat. His 1.78 ERA ranked No. 2 in the county. ( Peter Carr / The Journal News )
Jim Brennan, Suffern, outfielder: Potential had exceeded production for the center fielder. Until his junior year, when he exploded for a .467 average ‹ 200 points better than last year ‹ with a county-leading 34 runs, 10 doubles and nearly .900 slugging percentage, with 25 RBI from the leadoff spot.  As Suffern’s third starter he went 5-1, including a masterful playoff performance at John Jay. ( Peter Carr / The Journal News )
Nick Viohl, North Rockland, pitcher: North Rockland leaned heavily on senior pitchers Fasano and Viohl. Viohl delivered with a 1.67 ERA, lowest in Rockland County and eighth-lowest in the section among those with at least 30 innings. He allowed only 26 hits in 46 innings, an incredible ratio. ( Angela Gaul / The Journal News )
Tyler Rorick, Tappan Zee, outfielder: Tappan Zee’s season was almost dead when Rorick pitched the Dutchmen to a 3-1 victory over Pearl River that revived their hopes. As they were winning 12 of 16 he hit in every game. He batted .500 over that stretch and .422 for the year. Without the senior’s clutch stick and arm, Tappan Zee would have folded. ( Angela Gaul / The Journal News )
Joe Ferrara, Clarkstown North, utility: With Chris O’Grady out, the toughest pitching assignments fell to the senior. Even when used in relief, it was in crucial situations, allowing him to pick up decisions in 10 of 11 appearances. As a hitter he was an on-base machine (19 walks) because of a keen eye for pitches. He’ll join Germosen and Wargo at St. Thomas Aquinas. ( Angela Gaul / The Journal News )
George Wargo, North Rockland, infielder: The preseason began with the senior in a battle to be the starting catcher. Coach Tom Lynch has to be happy with his choice after Wargo threw out 60 percent of baserunners. He thrived behind the plate, delivering a .403 average ‹ 100 points higher than last year ‹ to provide rare consistency in North Rockland’s order. ( Peter Carr / The Journal News )
