High school soccer in the Lower Hudson Valley

New league alignments

August
27

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.

Jeff GoldJeff Gold reached the the soccer pinnacle when he was 7 years old. As the star of the Irvington Hurricanes, he led his team to a 13-0-2 record, scoring a goal in every game. Jeff didn't improve much and all of the others did. He only scored two goals as a varsity player, and one time, he was called Josh, so only one goal was official. Jeff worked at The Journal News for a year after graduating from Colgate University. He left for three years to work at Newsday, and returned to The Journal News in 2007. READ MORE
