Darren Sands was born in Manhasset, but moved to Boston at age 10. And yes, he is a Red Sox/Patriots/Celtics fan. Sands, 23, has been with Newsday since March 2007. He attended Hofstra where he worked for the student newspaper, the Hofstra Chronicle. Sands moved back to Boston where he wrote for the Boston Globe's City Weekly section, and served a brief stint as a weekend news assistant on the city desk. When Sands isn't writing, reading, or hopelessly trying to lower his handicap, he catches up with friends and family, and plays tennis with the good folks at the tennis courts on 151st and Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard. He resides in Harlem and, thanks to his girlfriend, is an adopted member of the Hokie Nation.

Hi Darren:
I have a question. Can you explain to me how the Nassau power rankings are comprised and how the number is calculated?? Is it based on strength of schedule, margin of victory, home games?? I'm asking because in conference III, Plainedge has a 2-2 record, but is ranked ahead of 3-1 and other 2-2 teams. I know Plainedge lost to Bethpage who I know is 1 of the stronger teams in the county, but do they get extra points because they played Bethpage??? Was curious how the formula was figured out. Thank You and keep up the good work!! John
