Girls: Top 10 for 9/29

September
29

Jake has many great ideas. If you ever want to know what to order from a pizza place, he’s your man. His top 10 is also a good one and blog reader “Request” requested one.

Sounds good.  Here we go.

1. John Jay-East Fishkill (5-0): Through the five games reported against Journal News-area teams, Fishkill hasn’t even allowed a goal, and that includes shutout wins over John Jay and North Rockland. Note: There could be a game or two that we don’t have against other out-of area teams, so this could change.

2. North Rockland (7-1): The only blemish is a one-goal loss to John Jay-East Fishkill. Thursday’s matchup with Mamaroneck should be telling about favorites heading into the AA playoffs.

3. Nanuet (9-0): The way for a Class B school to be ranked above the best in AA is to beat strong competition and to win many games decisively. It’s fair to say Nanuet has done both, handing Briarcliff its only loss and beating every team except Briarcliff by more than a goal.

4. Briarcliff (8-1): Since losing to Nanuet, Briarcliff has outscored opponents 20-1. Guess that loss didn’t set this team back.

5. Horace Greeley (7-1): The goalkeeper combination of Beth Ashinsky and Katye Gallardo has been stellar. Each has given up just one goal the whole year.

6. Mamaroneck (6-2-2): Stephanie Velez returns to the Tigers for this week’s matchup with North Rockland. The team understandably struggled at times without her.

7. Arlington (6-2): Plays Fishkill on Saturday.

8. John Jay (6-2-2): Handed Greeley its only loss on the year and has only lost to out-of-area powers Arlington and John Jay.

9. Rye (5-1): Still has to play two games against Byram Hills, Eastchester and Pelham. Navigating its way through such a tough schedule will be challenging.

10. Hackley (7-1-1): The 2-0 win over Byram Hills proved this team could certainly compete and do well in Section 1.

    Was Stephanie Velez injured? Are there any other key players injured right now that may mean a difference in the team upon their return?

All others were shutouts.

    Socfan,

    Velez has been out for undisclosed reasons. She is expected back for Thursday’s game against North Rockland.

    HS soccer – Thanks. Safe to say Fishkill is a solid No. 1 in Section 1 right now.

    Having watched our girls play North Rockland, Fishkill and Mamaroneck, I would have to say Fishkill is the best side of the three.

    Thanks for the contributions WPfan.
