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.

In a time, unlike today, when every track had a publicity department, Manzi stood out. There were others who preceded him — Col. Dave Herman at Brandywine and Allen Finkelson at Monticello Raceway, and then, Pompano Park — but Manzi was an original who dwelt in no one’s shadow, even though his time at Monticello followed Finkelson.
