I have been watching the Bradley/Matusow Primary saga from Florida. Your web site is the most up-to-date, in-depth around. It's great for out-of-towners who want to keep up on news at home. I've found it more useful than The Journal News. You never skip a beat. It's the next best thing to being there.

The White Plains Tigers notched their fifth straight victory Saturday in the autumn gold of Parker Stadium, shutting out Lincoln, with Jeff Lee taking over at quarterback. Monday the Tigers drew their first round playoff opponent.
White Plains cruised to a 21-0 Lead at halftime and never looked back Saturday afternoon as Jeff Lee deaked, duked, and distracted the slowfooted Lincoln defense with sleight of hand that lead to 4 rushing touchdowns.
 DRIVING ON LINCOLN ALL AFTERNOON: Coach Mark Santa Donato's Jeff Lee Specials added a new dimension of deception to the Tiger rushing game Saturday afternoon that moved the ball in 20 yard chunks. Here the Tigers are shown where they spent most of the day: in Lincoln territory.WPCNR PHOTO
Regular QB, Darrell Mack, sat out the Saturday contest with a slight ankle injury, but his buddies in the stands assured WPCNR, that he'll be ready for the Saturday playoff.
After a holding penalty and interception stopped the Tigers first drive, Lincoln took over on their own 15, moved it to their own 27, lost yardage and on 3rd and 15 from the 22 attempted to pass. Big mistake. Jeff Lee swooped in and nailed the QB for a huge loss to the 14. On 4th and 23, Lincoln’s punter got off a hideous punt of 15 yards, setting up the tigers with a 1st and 10 from the Lincoln 29.
It was the field position break the Tigers needed. With Jeff Lee at the controls for a resting Darrell Mack, the Tigers tried some new misdirection plays. Spencer Ridenhour dashed around end to the 18. Then Spencer burst off tackle down to the 5. On the next carry Spencer plowed into the end zone. The Tigers converted and led, 7-0 at the 2 minute mark.
20 yards a clip
Lincoln failed to move the ball and the Tigers took over after a punt on their own 20. Jeff McKoy lugged it up the middle to the 26. On 3rd down, Ridenhour ran through a huge hole to the 37 for a first down. Jeff Lee, deaking and duking, quarter-back optioned around end 18 yards to the Lincoln 45.
On the next play, Lee handed off to Jeff McKoy who went around the other end for another 25 yard sortee for a first down on the 20. Lee’s elaborate fakes at quarterback seemed to freeze the hapless Lincoln defenders, as Ridenhour again rumbled off end for 19 yards to the Lancer one. Eric Dickey plunged into paydirt to put the Tigers ahead by two touchdowns, 13-0, at the 6:52 mark of the second quarter. The conversion was good.
Lincoln gets only to the 44
The Lancers moved only to their 44 on the ensuing kickoff, punting to White Plains, which took over at their own 40. Dickey lugged the football to the 44, and Lee handed to Ridenhour for another 11 yards to the Lincoln 45.
A Lee option run set up a first down on the 30. Ridenhour took it overland to the 25, and Lee deaked his way to a first down on the 25. After an illegal procedure penalty, Jeff McKoy looped around end for a 25 yard touchdown run to make it 20-0. The conversion put White Plains ahead, 21-0 at the half.
Lincoln fumble stalls only serious drive
The Lancers drove to the White Plains 24 in the third quarter, but a fumble ended their bid, and White Plains took over at their own 28. The Tigers cranked up the overland express again.
Spencer Ridenhour dashed to the 40 for a first down. Jeff McKoy rambled 22 yards to the Lincoln 39.
So it went. Ridenhour for 12 to the 27. Then on 2nd and 15 from the Link 28, Jeff McKoy scored his second touchdown of the day racing around end in a classic Green Bay Sweep to make it 20-0 at the 1:18 mark of the third quarter. The conversion was good and White Plains lead, 28-0.
Playoff clinched. Arlington next.
On Monday afternoon it was announced by the WPHS Athletic Department that White Plains would play Arlington High School in Poughkeepsie in a first round Playoff game Saturday at 2 PM. Arlington High School is located at Route 55 and the Taconic State Parkway. One makes takes the Route 55 West Exit and Arlington High is on your right, and you can't miss it.
