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

The Seaford Vikings are on another journey to Valhalla. Nassau County’s defending football champions are gearing up for what will ideally be another title run — this time finishing the job in the Long Island Championship, where the Norsemen heartbreakingly fell 20-19 to Bayport-Blue Point on a record-setting 47-yard walk-off field goal last November. “It was some run we had — this year, they knew it, and they want to try and repeat it,” Vikings head coach Mike McHugh told The Post.

Some interesting stats from the Zona game

More subtly, look at the run defense. After two drives, the Cardinals had a 14-3 lead and had run the ball — mostly to the edges of the Giants’ defense — nine times for 81 yards (that’s 9.0 yards per carry). For the remainder of the game, they ran 17 times for 42 yards, 2.5 yards per carry. I don’t know what adjustment Wilson made, but whatever it was it worked. And it changed the trajectory of what looked like it might be an Arizona route.
