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

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.

TIME names the top colleges in New York

Columbia University and Cornell University ranked among the nation's best colleges in TIME Magazine's Best Colleges rankings, released last month. TIME partnered with data research firm Statista for its inaugural report of America’s Best Colleges of 2026-2027 , which ranked colleges that "excel at student outcomes, learning environment and attractiveness to students," according to the publication. Schools with historically strong STEM programs ranked high on the list, including the top two universities: Stanford University (No. 1), known for its startup culture and connection to Silicon Valley, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (No. 2), a patent powerhouse, according to TIME. New York's highest-ranked university, Columbia University in New York City, is best known for its Core Curriculum and strength in the humanities and social sciences, including its graduate programs in journalism, business, law and international affairs, according to Oriel Admissions. Cornell University in Ithaca is known for its focus on engineering, agriculture and life sciences, as well as hotel administration. Although Cornell, like Columbia, is an Ivy League school, some of its colleges are state-supported contract colleges , which offer lower tuition to New York residents. Other Cornell colleges are endowed and rely on private support, according to the university.
