Undefeated NY high school football team kicked out of playoffs over 53-second mistake

Fifty-three seconds is all it took to change a season — but not in the way you’d expect. An undefeated New York high school football team saw its championship hopes wiped out because one player — who spent less than a minute on the field — wasn’t eligible to play. Middletown High School in Orange County was disqualified from the Section IX Class AA championship after the school district withdrew its emergency court petition on Friday to reverse the disqualification.

Middletown acknowledged that it made a mistake but contested that the students should not be disqualified for a decision made by adults, and the player had no impact on the game itself. The decision came after a near two-hour hearing at the Orange County Courthouse in Goshen before state Supreme Court Justice Verris Shako. Parent caught

The Tiny Long Island College That Gives Every Admitted Student A Full-Tuition Scholarship

On the North Shore of Long Island, there is a college where nobody admitted pays tuition. Not a single student, not one semester. It is a small school with a big mission: training the people who design and build ships. In a time when college costs can follow graduates for decades, this place has held onto a tradition of generosity that feels almost old-fashioned.

Collections are coming for millions of student loans in default

A long-postponed reckoning could be coming soon for millions of student loan borrowers who are now faced with garnished wages and seized tax refunds as soon as next year. Since pandemic forbearance finally expired last year, more than 9 million borrowers already are in default, owing a collective $234 billion, and millions more are late in their payments. Those borrowers are likely to face severe collection measures such as wage garnishment and seizure of tax refunds next year. Such collections have been repeatedly paused, most recently this past January.

2026 Junior Formal Moves to Westchester Manor

Junior Formal has always been an opportunity for students to dress up and socialize with one another. In the past, it has always taken place in the Cochran gym. This year, however, student advocacy has resulted in a change of location to Westchester Manor. Kevin Ruffler, the junior class advisor, explained how there were various groups and meetings involved with the location change; he explained that he “met with the student representatives in June who ultimately decided to bring this issue up for a vote with the grade,” and later “spoke with parents for two hours in June to discuss the possibility of moving Junior Formal.” Ruffler continued to explain parental involvement in the decision, saying how “parents felt strongly about their ideas” but “the meeting ended on very good terms with everyone agreeing that we would respect the decision that the junior class made.” There was then a vote where the junior class could decide whether they wanted to keep the event in the gym or move it off-campus. The idea of promoting student autonomy was expanded upon by the creation of the Junior Formal Theme Committee, run by Student Council President Kai Ghalib. Namely, this new student initiative is “designed to brainstorm ideas for the theme,” and is “open to any junior who wants to share their ideas and join the discussion.” Ghalib shared that the committee recently decided on three options: Great Gatsby/Roaring 20’s, Enchanted Forest, and Ancient Greece.

Port Washington football breaks 50-year drought — and isn’t stopping there

On Friday, Port Washington’s varsity football team won its first playoff game since Gerald Ford was president. The Vikings (7-2) routed Plainview-Old Bethpage 40-0 in the opening round, snapping a postseason drought dating to 1976 and advancing to the Nassau County semifinals. “We’re not satisfied just because we won a game,” senior right tackle Max Eynon, who protects his twin brother, QB Harry Eynon, told The Post. “There’s no surprise on this field, and with this team that we got here. This was the goal, and we’re still going.” Brothers Harry Eynon, left, and Max Eynon stand after varsity football practice at Paul D.
