Iglesias has memorable night as Somers gets to Class A football final

LINCOLNDALE – Tristan Iglesias is going to remember this game. The senior quarterback had a hand in seven touchdowns in the last football game he’ll play on Tony DeMatteo Field, leading Somers to a 46-21 win over Harrison on Friday in a Section 1 Class A semifinal. The Tuskers move on to the championship game for the sixth year in a row and will play Clarkstown South at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 13 at North Rockland High School. Iglesias ran for four touchdowns and threw for three scores. “Tristan has been unbelievable,” Somers coach Anthony DeMatteo said. “The way he extends plays when the call we make isn’t there makes all the difference. He’s so accurate on the run, so accurate in the pocket and he’s hard to bring down. Tristan is such a resilient kid and a really good leader.” The Tuskers had a string of four Section 1 championships snapped last season when they lost to Rye in the final. It would’ve been an upset had Somers won, but that knowledge didn’t lessen the sting. “No, they were a great team and they played amazing, but that loss still burns,” Iglesias said. “It’s amazing to have a

And it changed the trajectory of what looked like it might be an Arizona route.
