OK, OK! I'm a believer in the Half Hollow Hills West football team. That offensive display against Miller Place was very impressive. But can the Colts and quarterback David DiMaria do the same thing against top-seeded Sayville? I don't think so.
Sayville counters the Hills West spread attack with a bevy of running backs, an experienced quarterback in Dillon Boos, and some speedy receivers. It will definitely be a game worth watching for any HS fan. I'll be out at an equally exciting matchup in the 516. The Zog gets the opportunity to see the competitiveness in this Suffolk Division III.
So, yes, I think Sayville edges Hills West in a very high-scoring affair, and the two will meet again somewhere in the playoffs. Neither one of these coaches are going to take the air out of the ball BUT I could see coach Hoss trying to establish a strong running game to keep the highly regarded Colts offense and halfback JeVahn Cruz off the field.
And if the Golden Flashes allow this game to come down to a field goal -- they're in trouble. Hills West has a college-bound kicker in junior Nolan Gelman. The kid is a weapon for the Colts. I'm out, should be a great game Saturday at 1:30 p.m. in Sayville where the public address announcer should be screaming TOUCHDOWWWWNNN SAAAAAYVIILLLE many times over. It's one of the best calls on Long Island.

I have to give HHHW a slight edge, Miller Place was a much better team which HHHW beat, than Rocky Point which Sayville beat. I think David DiMaria, Jevahn Cruz, & Kevin O'Shea will be tough to handle. I don't believe that Sayville with Corey Caufield, Dilon Boos, Nick Stover, and Charlie Podgurski will be enough to defeat HHHW.

Close game but you were right and I was wrong. That 4th quarter was killer.
