Harvey Football Team Gets First Win

Harvey spoiled Forman’s homecoming day Saturday, Oct. 18, with a 40-7 victory, the first win of the season for the Cavaliers. Harvey dominated Forman, piling up 466 all-purpose yards and scoring six touchdowns.

On the third play of the game junior quarterback Tom Smith faked a hand-off and then fired a 43-yard TD pass to junior wide receiver Mike DePass. Early in the second quarter, Smith faked a fourth-down punt and instead hit streaking junior wide receiver Jordan Washington with a 51-yard TD pass. Two minutes later, Smith hooked up with DePass again on a 14-yard TD pass.

Harvey’s only mistake, a fumble lost on its own nine-yard line, led to Forman’s only points, a fourth-down nine-yard TD pass. On the ensuing kick-off, DePass caught a low kick and raced for 69 yards all the way up the sidelines for a 26 - 7 Harvey lead at halftime.

The Cavaliers scored again midway through the fourth quarter with a five-yard TD plunge by senior Dillon Singleton of Mount Kisco.

With Harvey enjoying a comfortable lead, Smith was replaced by his backup QB sophomore Will Shaffer of Bedford who made his first high school pass a memorable one, hitting DePass with a 70-yard TD strike. DePass ended the day with four catches for 139 yards, three TDS and a 69-yard kickoff return for a TD. Smith completed six of 12 passes for 219 yards and 3 TDS while running backs senior captain Ricky Hicks and sophomore Teddy Little rushed for 46 and 76 yards, respectively.

Junior captain Javen Stepp-Davis led the defense with seven tackles, 1/2 sack and one forced fumble, Senior captain Jared Finkel (6 1/2 tackles), Singleton (four tackles, sack), Little (four tackles, 1/2 sack), senior Jameson Scarsella (four tackles) made significant contributions on defense.

Forman gave its Sportsmanship Award to eighth-grader Cameron Polemeni-Hegarty of Goldens Bridge who had two tackles on defense and also filled in at center on offense.

Goligoski made eight saves.

Freshman Omar Coca also showed great potential on the offensive front, earning a penalty kick when he was fouled in the Masters box, but Harvey’s junior captain Tyler Levy was unable to score.

Harvey JV Co-Ed Team Notches a Win

The Harvey School played its first coed JV soccer match of the year Thursday, Oct. 16, at home against Soundview and came out winners by a 4-2 score.

Janice Cai, Maddy Binderman and Emma Carillo turned in a stellar performance. “They seemed to beat their opponents to every loose ball,” said Coach Luigi Loiola. Harvey’s defense was led by freshman Chris Brennan and Nikki Johnson, securing the middle while sophomores Ethan Alfandary and Brian Alvarado were relentless on the edges, often taking the ball from their own end deep into Soundview territory.

Alex Mclean, Samantha Feuerstein, and Sarah Chintz shared time at the keeper position for Harvey. “They all made numerous saves on Soundview breakaways, keeping us in the game,” said coach Loiola.
