Pride 6-Commack 0. Surrounded by turmoil and
controversy after last weeks loss Pride sorely
needed something to feel good about, and Sunday
was just that. Team Captains Feigenbaum and
Garone got the team fired up during pre-game
exercises and set the mood for what would be
another shutout victory. Pride overcame a
sluggish start and found a way to ignite their
offense after several unsuccessful drives. The
coaches at the half told the guys to "stay with
it, just keep fighting and we are going to win
this thing." On our first drive of the 2nd half
QB Mikey Vigs threw a 20 yrd pass to a wide open
Myzel Perrien who ran 40+ yds for the only TD of
the game. Once again our defense showed why they
are ranked #1. Alijah Allen pushed around the
offensive line with help from Cowie, Filardi,
Jackson, McMahon, Vasquez and Weilert. Tackle
Cohen and MLB Rallo proved valuable with
multiple fumble recoveries. Game saving tackles
by DE McDermott, OLB Russo, and OLB Gallub ended
Commack's chances of a comeback. Great job boys
and coaches. GO PRIDE!!!! Week 7 has us playing
Bayport away.

11-20-11 - "Turkey Bowl" Pride 40 vs
North Shore 19. What a wild game, extremely
proud of all the boys. Special shout out to
Salvatore Pascarella and Noah Gilden for
stepping up in a big way. We where without our
two centers for this game and these boys filled
in superbly. North Shore jumped out to a 6-0
start. Pride bounced back to tie it up on
Donovan Jarvis 65 yard run straight up the
middle. That was all the scoring for the first
quarter. The second quarter started off with
two quick scores by North Shore; a 30 yard pitch
pass and a fumble return for 25 yards. Pride is
down 19-6. With time winding down in the second
half we fumbled again and North Shore tried to
put us away on a long pass play. Thanks to
excellent pressure by our D and great coverage
by Donovan, he had an interception return for a
70 yard touchdown. Extra point was added by
Kaleeb Barrett. Halftime score Pride 13 North
Shore 19.
Second Half North Shore started with the ball
first and was shut down the rest of the day by
an inspired defense led by Dylan Niederauer.
Can't say enough about our defense made tackles
for negative yardage the whole second half.
Great job by: John Dominic, Noah Gilden, Marc
Cohen, Robert Key, Robert Stewart, Conor
Travaglione, Joey Viglucci, and Andrew and Joe
McDonald.
Now for the scoring. 3rd quarter we had a long
ball controlled drive resulting in a 3 yard
touchdown by Donovan. Score 19-19. The 4th
quarter was crazy. We had another ball
controlled drive resulting in a 7 yard touchdown
run by Kaleeb Barrett. Extra point was added by
Donovan. Score Pride 26 NS 19. North Shore
fumbles the ball. Donvan had an amazing 30 yard
run, started to the right came all the way back
to left and down the sideline for another
score. Extra point was added on a beautiful
play action pass from Brian Flattau to Dylan
Niederauer. Pride 33 NS 19. The final score
was added by Donovan Jarvis who ran for a 50
yard touchdown. The extra point was added on a
tackle eligible pass from Brian Flattau to Billy
Fitzpatrick. I have to say thank you to our
offensive line. There is no way we could have
scored 27 points in the second half without you
guys. Great job boys: Billy Fitzpatrick, Frank
Caputo, Noah Gilden, Robert Key, Salvatore
Pascarella, Robert Stewart and Joe Viglucci. I
know it is a long message here but you guys
deserved it. We the coaches couldn't have been
prouder of you guys, awesome job all year long.
11/13/11 - Pride 28 vs. Hauppauge 6.
What a game by all the boys. Excellent effort
and total domination from start to finish. The
scoring started off in the first quarter with
Donovan Jarvis 60 yard end around. Kaleeb
Barrett added the extra point. The defense was
dominating all day long. After two consecutive
plays for losses, Joe Viglucci sacked
Hauppauge’s quarter back for a safety. Our next
scoring drive resulted in an 8 yard run by
Donovan Jarvis. The extra point was added by
Brian Flattau to Dylan Niederauer on a play
action pass. Our next score was a Kaleeb
Barrett yard run. This was set up by an
interception by Jarvis. Extra point no good.
Our final score was a 65 yard run by Andrew
McDonald, awesome job Andrew. The extra point
was no good. Hauppauge’s score was late in the
game when we were in a prevent defense. I can’t
say enough about the great job the defense did
all day long, another key interception by Robert
Stewart and Crushing sack by Billy Fitzpatrick.
Our offensive line was tremendous all day long
opening up nice holes for the running backs.
Very proud of our O line. I have to mention a
great play by Christopher Macaluso. It occurred
on an interception return we had. Chris hustled
down the field and peeled back to lay a
devastating block on Hauppauge. Great hustle
and awesome pancake. One game to go guys let’s
keep up the good work.
11/6/11 - Pride 26
vs. Three Village 13. What a crazy wild game,
story of two halves. The first half Three
Village came out in a spread offense. They
confused our defense and where able to move the
ball up and down the field. Also on offense we
had a couple of penalties and turnovers.
Halftime we were down 13-6. The second half all
the boys played incredible. The defense stepped
up in a big way not allowing Three Village
another point. They might have only had one or
two first downs the whole second half. The
offensive line was amazing, the way they were
able to open up holes for the running backs.
Our offense was on the field most of the second
half sustaining long drives down the field
resulting in touchdowns. The final score was
26-13. Great job by the entire team!! One game
to go boys keep up the good work.
10/29/11 - Pride 6 vs.
Bellport 32. Not much to say here, we ran up
against an excellent team. They were a much
bigger and faster team. They probably
outweighed our kids by an average of 30 lbs.,
especially on the offense and defensive lines.
What I can say is that I was very proud of our
kids. Even though the score doesn’t reflect it
their effort was great. They boys never gave up
and tried their best to compete. I couldn’t ask
for more and I am very proud of each and
everyone one of them. Happy Halloween and
Tuesday back to work.
10/23/11 - Pride 33 vs
Bayport 19. Awesome job by all the boys, both
on Offense and Defense. This week we had 0
turnovers and two BS penalties which resulted in
two touchdowns taken away during the early part
of the game. They were a Donovan Jarvis had a
65 yarder and 95 yarder with 30 seconds in the
half, called back on two of the worst calls I
have seen in 6 years coaching. Watched the tape
and no penalties on either play. I was
extremely proud of the boys for not letting that
bother them or all of the holding calls that
were not called on the other team. Ok enough
with that.
The offensive line was
tremendous again opening huge holes all day
long. They were very disciplined causing the
other team to jump off sides 3 times. The
scoring began with a 30 yard run by Donovan
Jarvis. The extra point was added by Kaleeb
Barrett. Bayport bounced back with a 65 yard TD
run of their own, extra point was no good.
Kaleeb Barrett was a force scoring two TD’s.
Donovan also ran for another 60 yard score. The
play of the game was on 65 yard pitch pass from
Donovan Jarvis to Joe Viglucci to seal the game.
The turning point was a wonderful goal line
stance by our defense. With the score 14-6 and
1:30 left in the half Bayport had 1st and goal
from the 3yd line. The defense stepped up big.
Great job boys. Proud of all the boys’ effort
and looking forward to this weeks game.
10/15/11 - Pride vs.
Connequot 37-26. Outstanding job by offensive
line and defensive team. We jumped out to a 31
to 6 lead, then after a prevent defense and 7
fumbles later we ended up winning
37-26. Highlights: Great job by Kaleeb Barrett,
Running over tacklers and sprinting for a 40
yard touchdown. Donovan Jarvis ran for 4 YES 4
touchdowns and had a pick six on defense. It was
the team's first interception return for a
touchdown. I was so proud of ALL our boys for
playing with heart against a team filled with
heavyweights.
10-9-2011 Pride 27 vs
Commack 12. Excellent job by all the boys this
week. The score was 13-12 at half time. The
kids came out strong and shut Commack down the
rest of the day. Donovan Jarvis had 4 touchdown
runs on the day. This was set up by hard
running by Kaleeb Barrett and Dylan Niederauer.
Kaleeb added two extra points. Third was Joey
Viglucci to Robert Stewart on a beautiful
bootleg pass. Needless to say we couldn’t have
accomplished this without tremendous blocking by
the O line. Awesome job by Mark Cohen, Jake
Zacharakis, Salvatore Pascarella, Christopher
Macaluso, Frank Caputo, Robert Key, Bill
Fitzpatrick and Noah Gilden. The defense also
did an excellent job. Shout outs go to Conor
Travaglione, DJ McMahon, RJ Pleasants, Robert
Stewart, Josh Serure, John Dominic and Anthony
Tubens. You boys did an excellent job shutting
down the wedge. Play of the day: Driving on
Commack’s six yard line for a score. On a very
late whistle our running back gets stripped of
the ball. Commack’s kid is running for TD and
Joey Viglucci hustles back to make the tackle on
our own 30 yard line and strip the ball to save
the lead. Noah Gilden is also hustling back and
recovers the fumble. Very proud of the two boys
for not quitting on the play and making a game
changing tackle.
10/2/2011 - Hills 25
vs Northshore 13. Very proud of all the boys
this week, they came to play. The offensive
line was excellent opening some very nice holes
all day long. Donovan Jarvis had some beautiful
moves this week scoring three times, 70 yards,
30 yards and 65 yards. The best drive of the
day was in the fourth quarter when we
methodically marched the ball down the field
behind an excellent effort by the O line and
some tough running by Kaleeb Barrett and Dylan
Niederauer. Which resulted in a 3yd TD run by
Dlyan. The extra point was added by QB Joe
Viglucci on a nice bootleg to the end zone. Joe
stepped up for the team and played QB do to an
injury. Very proud of him, he did an excellent
job.Defense was great all day long. The
defensive line was eating up blocks and fighting
through all day which enabled the linebackers to
blitz effectively. Nice job by: John Dominic,
Noah Gilden, DJ Mcmahon, Frank Caputo, Conor
Travaglione, and Andrew McDonald. We had one
melt down which allowed Northshore to scamper
for a 70 yard TD run in the first half. The
second TD was in a prevent Defense. Back to
work this week, nice job boys.
9-25-2011 - Pride 13
Kings Park 32. The game was a lot closer than
the score reflected. We had a touchdown called
back, three fumbles and some untimely penalties
that stalled some long drives. Have to go back
to the basics, blocking and tackling. The boys
are working hard and just have to work on some
fundamentals. Looking forward to this week’s
game and a strong bounce back.Donovan Jarvis had
two beautiful touchdown runs. Kaleeb Barrett
did an awesome job lead blocking, panicking
several kids throughout the day. Defense kids
need to learn to stay home and wrap up. That
being said I see improvement from them each
week.
09-18-2011 - Hills 13
Eastport 32. Tough loss this past weekend. It
was a tale of two halves. Eastport was a big
physical team that we had trouble stopping in
the second half. Donovan Jarvis had two very
nice runs for touchdowns. Dylan Niederauer
added the extra point. We had some missed
opportunities for turnovers and to make first
downs. Need to get more pressure with our
defense. Also need to work on sustaining
drives. We will focus on both this week.
Nice job boys we will regroup
this week. Be ready to work hard.
09/11/2011 - The
season was off to great start with a 20-7 win
vs. Hauppauge. Our offense drove the ball down
the field but the drive stalled. The scoring
started off with our defense scoring first.
Excellent pressure by the defense resulted in
Christopher Macaluso tackling the running back
in end zone for a safety. The defense was
excellent all day long. We had one break down
which resulted in Hauppauge scoring on about a
50 yard run.
The offense worked hard all
day long. The key was the offensive line. They
enabled us to move the ball up and down the
field. Our first score was on a perfect 7 yard
strike from quarterback Brian Flattau to tight
end Joey Viglucci. Our second score was short
tough run by Donovan Jarvis. The final score
was by Dylan Niederauer who was a work horse all
day long. Special thanks go out to all the boys
who opened holes all day long: Sal Pascarella,
Josh Serure, Jake Zacharakis, Frank Caputo,
Chris Macaluso, Robert Key, Billy Fitzpatrick,
Kaleeb Barrett, Noah Gilden and Joey Viglucci.
We need to
work on extra points!! Very proud of the all
the boys, excellent effort.

Chris Tiriolo
2-0
9/25/11- Hampton Bays- Our 2nd game was
our home opener. On a hot, humid day, our team
came ready to play. Their opening drive was a
quick 3 and out after great line play from
Keith, Joe and Nick- not to mention the constant
pressure from our ends- Jeff and AJ. On our
first play we quickly changed Hampton Bays
record of not being scored upon with Jeff
getting the ball and having him sweep around the
left side for a 50 yard touchdown run. Barely
missed the extra point for a 6-0 lead. Back on
defense and it was more of the same suffocating
pressure by the ends, linebackers Griffin, Dom
and Jesse and a 3 and out. Our next series
started with a 2 yard gain by Jesse, a 15 yard
pass completion to Bradley on a TE flat play, a
3yrd gain by Jeff on a sweep play, a 4 yard
completion to Bradley again and then on 3rd and
3 with great blocks from Jake at Tackle and AJ
at guard we ran a QB keeper and picked up the
1st down. with Jeff in at QB, a short run on
first down was followed up by Jeff running 30
yards as he scrambled out of the pocket. it was
first and goal from the 10. With Griffin back in
for Jeff, we ran 2 runs that only picked up a
yard and Jesse went down. Jeff's back in at RB
and ran the ball down to the 5 and brought up
4th down. We went for it and Griffin dumped it
to Bradley, he ran out of one tackle and
galloped into the end zone. A missed extra point
and it was 12-0 shortly before half. It was
more of the same from our defense- spectacular
play by Jeff chasing down a sweep play to the
other side of the field, big plays by Hunter and
Avery at corners with forcing the action back
inside. Corey, Jack, Eric, Joe and Jake played
great at all of the positions they were asked to
play on defense. A 3 and out of our own sent
out our punt team and with a good kick and cover
was back down in their end. More stellar defense
got us the ball back. Jesse was held for no
gain, Jeff had a 3 yrd pick-up and then in the
process of picking up 3 more yards, Jeff hurt
his ankle and would be lost for the rest of the
game. Our defense maintained their very high
standard with playing fast and aggressive- still
no room for their team to run. When we got the
ball back, a couple of incomplete passes and
then a 25 yard pick up by Griffin on a scramble
out of the pocket. Then we started to run out
the rest of the clock with a run play, a dump to
Jesse in the flat for 5 yards, a run and on 4th
down an incompletion. Our defense finished up
the game with not allowing their team to cross
the 50 all game. A great win for the boys under
tough conditions, in game injuries and action
that was getting a little chippy.
9/18/11 At Smithtown- our first game of
the season coming off our bye last week. We won
the coin toss and elected to defer. The coaches
implored the d to set the bar with the first
series. They did with holding their o to a 3 and
out. Eric jumped on the ball at the 45 and our o
setup for our first series. Running a sweep to
the left, Jeff used his speed to get to the
outside and 45 yards later scored our first TD
of the year. Missed extra point and it's 6-0.
With another impressive d stand with another 3
and out, and a miscue on their snap for the punt
gave us the ball on their 28 yrd line. An
incomplete pass setup 2 and 10. Jeff ran for 22
yards on a dive play to the strong side of our
unbalanced line. On first and goal from the 6,
we ran a fake sweep to Jeff, Griffin rolled out
to the right, and threw a pass to Bradley who
was alone in the end zone for our second score.
We went for the extra point field goal- great
place and hold by Jake and Jeff's kick is good
for 2 points. 14-0. Next d series had us giving
up our first 1st down, but then the defense held
on when they went for it on fourth down. Our
offense stalled losing a yard on a carry and
then 2 incomplete passes. AJ nailed a punt that
was downed back in their territory by Jesse.
Another 3 and out and a miscue by their team on
the snap for their punt gave us the ball back at
their 8 yard line. Jeff got the call on a dive
to the right, bounced it outside and stiff-armed
a defender on his way into the end zone for our
3rd score. A missed extra point and it was 20-0
at just a minute into the 2nd quarter. In our
modified defense, we got another 3 & out.
Another bad snap on their punt attempt gave us
the ball back. On our first play on o, a good
hit by their defense caused Corey to fumble in
which they recovered. Another great defensive
stand and we got the ball back just before the
half. 3 plays that didn't gain any yardage and
it was half. The 3rd qtr saw Smithtown hold the
ball for the entire quarter picking up a few
first downs against our modified defense. But on
a fourth down try, we held and got the ball
back. We were sacked on two consecutive pass
attempts. On third and long, AJ threw a pass
complete to Avery for a 10 yard game. On 4th
down, AJ boomed a kick 30 yards that was downed.
Defense went back in and again exerted our will
against their o with big hits by Joe, Bradley
and Griffin. Last play of the game had Joe
shooting a gap into the backfield and
intercepting a pitch meant for their running
back. Final score 20-0. Team win with everyone
contributing through key blocks, tackles, runs
and fast play.
