About a month ago, The Journal News underwent a massive restructuring. Many people lost their jobs. Many others quit because they were at risk of losing their jobs.

When it was all over, the sports staff had been reduced significantly. That has forced us to change the way we cover sports at the professional and local level. It was decided that we no longer have the manpower to assign individual beats as we did before. There are too many sports to cover and not enough reporters to do the job.

I was the boys soccer beat writer last season and the girls soccer beat writer before that. That is no longer the case. Like the other sports reporters, I am now a general assignment reporter who will cover all sports.

One of the effects of not having beat writers is that there is no one to maintain the blogs. Therefore this soccer blog is no longer active. All high school sports are now being consolidated into one blog, called Gameday Central. You can find it here. The posts on soccer will be clearly marked as such.

You can find the complete boys preview by following this link.

You can find the complete girls preview, with top teams, players, and info about the season, by following this link.

The previews for girls and boys soccer will be in Sunday’s sports section. It will include top teams, players to watch, and questions about the season.

Yesterday I posted the new league alignments for girls soccer. I said that I thought they were the same for boys soccer. They are for the most part, with a few small changes.

I spoke to Section 1 director Jen Simmons today and got the official boys leagues. Here they are.

Conference 1
League A: Arlington, Beacon, John Jay-East Fishkill, Lourdes, Poughkeepsie, Ketcham
League B: Brewster, Carmel, Lakeland, Mahopac, Panas, Yorktown
League C: Arlington-B, Dover, Haldane, Kennedy, North Salem, Pawling
League D: Croton, Hen Hud, Ossining, Peekskill, Putnam Valley

Conference 2
League A: Gorton, Lincoln, Saunders, Scarsdale-B, Woodlands, Yonkers
League B: Mamaroneck, Mount Vernon, New Ro, Scarsdale, White Plains
League C: Ardsley, Dobbs, Hastings, Irvington, Sleepy, Schechter
League D: Bronxville, Eastchester, Edgemont, Pelham, Tuckahoe

Conference 3
League A: Fox Lane, Greeley, John Jay, Somers
League B: Byram, Harrison, Port Chester, Rye
League C: Briarcliff, Pleasantville, Rye Neck, Westlake
League D: Blind Brook, Hamilton, Keio, Valhalla

Conference 4
League A: Clarkstown North, Clarkstown South, North Rockland, Ramapo, Suffern
League B: Albertus, Nanuet, Nyack, Pearl River, Spring Valley, Tappan Zee

Section 1 has changed its requirements for teams to qualify for sectionals. This was motivated by the new league alignments, which I detailed in the previous post.

Now that league schedules are no longer motivated by school size, you will see a lot of big schools beating up on little schools. Teams that would have gone 8-8 in a normal league against comparable schools might now go 5-11 because they have to play tougher, bigger competition.

Take Lourdes, which went 13-3-2 last year. It’s now got to play Arlington, Fishkill, and Ketcham a total of six times. Is that six losses right there? Could be.

To compensate, Section 1 lowered the standard for making the playoffs. Teams now only have to win 25% of their games to get in. Or 25% of their league games. Or 25% of their class games. Or 25% of games against their class and above. Basically every team is in the playoffs. It is almost impossible to not qualify at this point. I know the system is designed to help little schools that got shafted by the league alignments but jeez, do we really need 4-12 clubs in the playoffs?

How about 1-15 clubs? Could happen. Take Sleepy Hollow for example. Sleepy, a Class A team, plays just four games against Class A competition this season. Two vs Ardsley, one vs Eastchester, and one vs Pelham. That’s it. All Sleepy needs to do is win one of those games and it would be 1-3 (25%) against its own class, which is good enough to get in the playoffs. So yes, its possible to get a 1-15 team in the playoffs.

The other rule change for the playoffs regards seeding. The Harbin point system, which was used the last few years to determine seeding, is no more. Playoff teams are now given a point score at the end of the season according to the following stipulations.

-    Four points for every win, regardless of class
-    Two points for every tie, regardless of class
-    No deduction of points for losses
-    Two bonus points for playing a team who has a winning percentage of .750 or above; teams receive this if they win or lose
-    One bonus point for playing a team who has a winning percentage between .500 and .749; teams receive this if they win or lose

The latter two awards are given to reward teams that play tough schedules, even if they lose those games. So a 9-7 team that played three great (.750 or better) opponents and three good (.500-.749) opponents will be seeded higher than an 11-5 team that beat up on cupcakes.

For the purposes of awarding bonus points, opponent winning percentage is determined at season’s end, not when you play them.

The leagues in all sports underwent unprecedented changes this offseason. Thank the economy. Last year Section 1 voted to arrange leagues based solely on geography. Seems the bus rides for some schools were too long and costing too much money.

So they threw all of Section 1 together and pulled out leagues based, for the most part, on who was close to one another, regardless of school size. Class AA Ossining is with Class B Croton. Class AA Gorton and Lincoln are with small Class B Woodlands. Poor Class C Valhalla is with Byram Hills, Rye, Harrison, and Port Chester. Yikes.

Here are the league alignments for girls soccer. I’m 99% sure these apply to boys soccer too but I haven’t gotten official confirmation yet. I’ll let you know when I do.

Conference 1
League A: Arlington, Beacon, John Jay-East Fishkill, Lourdes, Poughkeepsie, Ketcham
League B: Brewster, Carmel, Mahopac, Panas, Yorktown
League C: Dover, Haldane, Kennedy, North Salem, Pawling
League D: Croton, Hen Hud, Ossining, Peekskill, Putnam Valley

Conference 2
League A: Gorton, Lincoln, Saunders, Woodlands, Yonkers
League B: Mamaroneck, Mount vernon, New Ro, Scarsdale, Ursuline, White Plains
League C: Ardsley, Dobbs, Hastings, Irvington, Sleepy, Schechter
League D: Bronxville, Eastchester, Edgemont, Pelham, Tuckahoe

Conference 3
League A: Fox Lane, Greeley, John Jay, Somers
League B: Byram, Harrison, Port Chester, Rye, Valhalla
League C: Blind Brook, Briarcliff, Hamilton, Keio, Pleasantville, Rye Neck, Westlake

Conference 4
League A: Clarkstown North, Clarkstown South, North Rockland, East Ramapo, Suffern

Hey all, there have been a couple fan rumblings about getting something on the blog, which means people are getting into soccer mode. That’s good.

You’ll get your wish tomorrow. The preseason coaches meeting is tomorrow at 6:30. I plan to be there. There should be plenty to talk about then. One of the things I’ll tackle is the new league alignments, which are completely different than last year. So expect to see that at least, plus whatever else comes out of the meeting.

Readers should know that The Journal News is undergoing a lot of changes right now. Most of you are aware that the newspaper industry isn’t doing so well right now. The Journal News is no exception. We’ve had to make a lot of cutbacks over the last few months. Some of my colleagues and friends have lost their jobs. One of those was Jeff Gold, who covered girls soccer last year and was a contributor to this blog.

August has brought further change. We are still sorting through personnel issues today. Unfortunately this has brought us close to the school year. Normally at this time we would be talking to coaches and players, blogging regularly, and working on preview sections for the newspaper. Because of our restructuring, reporters have not been given those responsibilities yet because few are sure how it’s going to shake out.

This is why the blog has been quiet. I can’t even promise you that I’ll be the boys soccer beat writer this fall. I hope I am but there are no guarantees. I asked special permission to attend the preseason soccer meeting because it’s so important, but beyond that I make no promises.

The football blog has been active for a few reasons. First, because football starts practice earlier than the other sports. Second, because football writer Kevin Devaney is the one person in the department who can be sure what sport he will cover in the fall. Third, because like it or not football is top dog in this area. Football brings in more readers and has more interest than any other high school sport. Fans of other sports don’t like it but it’s true.

Please give us a little patience as we sort things out. Sports editor Susie Arth is committed to local sports and I know that as soon as things stabilize she will give soccer the attention it deserves. We will definitely have the situation sorted out before the fall season begins. Just bear with us and keep checking back. I’ll update you as soon as I have information about anything soccer-related.

North Salem’s Brian Span has committed to play at the University of Virginia on a full scholarship. UVA is one of the most successful programs in the most successful conference, the ACC, in the nation.

This comes on the heels of his being named to the U-15/16 East Conference squad by the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. Only 44 players nationally were named Conference players. Joining him was Somers’ Taylor Washington, a rising junior at Rye Country Day.

You can read the full story here.

It was a surprise when Ron Hendrie won regional small-school coach of the year. So what do you call it when the regional award becomes a national award?

The North Salem coach was named just that by NSCAA/adidas, and he was as shocked as anybody. He went to St. Louis as one of several people up for the honor. When they announced his name, he was frozen. You can read the full account here.

It’s not official yet, but it sure looks like Section 1 schools are about to undergo a massive league realignment.

And you thought sports was a refuge from the perils of the new economy.

It seems this recession has gotten its tentacles into high school sports as well, prompting a drastic response from Section 1 schools. Starting in the fall, the leagues for most sports are expected to be completely reconfigured. Geography, not school size or team competitiveness, will be the overriding factor. That means you could be seeing current Class C programs like Haldane in a league with Class AA programs like Ossining, because they’re both on Route 9.

While the teams will still split into their proper classes for playoffs, get ready to see a lot more blowouts than before. Especially in sports like hockey and lacrosse, where power leagues have kept games close until now. Now you’ll be seeing developmental teams getting murdered twice a year by elite teams.

I’m sure no AD is crazy about the idea, but economic realities make it necessary. Budgets have to be cut. Gas and other travel expenses cost thousands of dollars a season. The new alignment will greatly reduce travel time and distance.

Read Harold Gutmann’s story for all the details.

Just got a call from North Salem coach Ron Hendrie. He received a missive, in writing, from NSCAA/adidas ordering him to inform the local media that he was named Region II coach of the year. Frankly I didn’t believe a word of it. Nobody likes to toot their own horn more than Ron Hendrie, so I’m pretty sure he made the whole thing up.

Just kidding Ron. Hendrie seemed legitimately surprised that he got this award. He already knew he was small schools coach of the year for New York State, but this is a big deal. Region II consists of NY, NJ, Pa, and De. There are only eight regions in the country. By winning this, Hendrie is eligible for national coach of the year.

One thing that wasn’t clear in the letter Hendrie got was whether this was a small-schools award or an overall award. I’m going to make a few calls and find out.

Three locals made the all-region team. Two, Lia Bellizzi of Rye and Stephanie Velez of Mamaroneck, were all-Americans. The third was Amy Marron of Westlake.

Hey all, before I get into the all-star stuff, I just want to apologize to anyone who asked me about when the all-star section was being published. I’ve been telling people it was coming out Sunday, Dec. 14. Anyone who looked at today’s paper knows that’s incorrect. The all-star section, to my knowledge, has always come out as a special section in the Sunday paper. Until now. Which I would have been aware of had I been around the office the last couple of weeks. Instead I’ve been on vacation, so the pre-all-star buzz has been lost on me. Anyway, run out and pick up today’s paper if you haven’t already.

The three all-star (Westchester and Putnam)/all-county (Rockland) sections that we put out every year represent some of our most lavish work. Hundreds of hours of work go into them. They’re designed to celebrate the best athletes from the last season, in this case the fall season.

Each beat writer, along with the coaches in his or her sport, picks a first and second team, a coach of the year, and a player of the year. Then we in the office pool all those players of the year and debate which had the best year and should be Athlete of the Season. There’s one for Westchester/Putnam and one for Rockland.

I’m proud to say I won the debate for Westchester/Putnam this fall. Brian Rogers, Bronxville’s striker extraordinaire and my player of the year, gets the cover of the all-star section as Athlete of the Season. If you check out the all-star page here, you can see he’s got the big photo on top. I cracked up when I saw that his hair was all over the place again. Every photo we got of him all season had his hair flying around like a Chinese fan. Then he shows up for his all-star photo shoot with a new haircut, and I was like, “Aw, it’s too bad you won’t have interesting hair like usual.” Then somehow the photographer still manages to get him with his hair sticking up in the back. I don’t know how Brian does it.

To see all of the Westchester/Putnam boys soccer all-stars, scroll down a touch and click Brian’s smaller photo to go to the boys soccer page. That will give you the first team. Below the last photo you’ll see a link that says “Other Accolades.” Click that and you’ll find the second team and honorable mention. To read the full story on what made him so great, click the story title below his photo.

You can find the girls all-stars by clicking Lia Bellizzi’s picture on the main page. Jeff’s story on her is also below her big photo on the girls soccer page.

To find the Rockland all-county players follow this link. Below the giant pic of Nyack football player Anthony Davis you’ll see shots of Nanuet’s Lauren Kahn and Suffern’s Charlie Pirc, the players of the year for girls and boys, respectively. Clicking those pics will take you to the full all-county teams. Pirc, i just want to note, is a two-time honoree as player of the year.

There’s a lot of info on these all-star/all-county pages, especially if you follow more than one sport. Take your time and explore the best athletes the Lower Hudson Valley has to offer.

Congrats to all who made the publication.

The NSCAA, which hands out these postseason awards, divides the country into eight regions. Region II encompasses New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.

Three local players—Brian Span of North Salem, Brian Rogers of Bronxville, and Greg Shaheen of Byram Hills—made the All-Region squad. Shaheen is the big surprise here since he kind of burst on the soccer scene out of nowhere. Only two sophomores made All-Region, and he’s one of them. Expect to see his name a lot the next couple years.

Here’s the full team.

The girls did the boys one better by getting two locals onto the All-America team. Lia Bellizzi of Rye and Stephanie Velez of Mamaroneck both made the elite national squad. Bellizzi’s selection really stands out. Even though she carried Rye to an unexpected state title, she’s only a sophomore. There’s always a bias against underclassmen, no matter how remarkable. Only four sophomores made All-American. Bellizzi was good enough to be one of them.

Congratulations to Bronxville’s Brian Rogers for being the only Section 1 player to earn All-American honors. It’s been quite a year for the senior striker, who put up ridiculous numbers while leading his team to a Class B state championship. This was a fitting capper. Only six players from New York State earned the honor.
