Kicking off: Williamsville South's Joe Licata shattered the Section 6 record for passing yardage in a game, rolling up 492 yards in a 62-32 football victory against Williamsville North last night.

   The 6-foot-2 junior broke the 1980 mark of 455 yards by Cheektowaga's Jerry Hickson. The state record is a 543-yard effort by Greg Paulus of Syracuse CBA vs. Auburn in 2003.

   Licata fiished 26-for-37 with seven touchdowns. He had set the previous school mark of 377 yards in the 2009 opener vs. Grand Island.

   Junior Phil Stasiak made nine receptions for 184 yards, and senior Mark Coppola had two TDs among his four catches for 143 yards. Kevin O'Connell also went over 100 yards in receptions and tacked on a 60-yard interception return for another score.

   First down: Tailback Ismail Brooks broke loose for another seven-TD performance as Auburn beat back Fayetteville-Manlius 48-28.

   Brooks, a 6-foot-1 senior, also scored seven times last week during a 74-32 victory over Central Square and has collected 16 TDs through three games.

   Brooks rushed 19 times for 294 yards and TDs covering 69, 38, 81, 60 and 30 yards. His two scoring catches from quarterback Dave Jacobs covered 62 and 81 yards. Jacobs was 4-for-7 for 189 yards.

   Second down: Monroe-Woodbury, ranked No. 1 by the New York State Sportswriters Association, got a huge injury scare en route to a 42-21 victory over Newburgh Free Academy at Central Valley.

   M-W quarterback Dan Scalo went down with an ankle injury in the second quarter with the Crusaders clinging to a 14-7 lead, and could be heard screaming in pain as the bleachers fell silent.

   "I thought I broke it," Scalo told The Times Herald-Record. "I'm thinking, 'I can't believe this happened.'"

   The ankle was re-taped and Scalo managed to return by late in the next series. He ran for a 3-yard score on the first possession of the third quarter to stretch the margin to 28-7 and assure Monroe-Woodbury fans that all was well.

   Scalo was a second-team all-state quarterback last season as the Crusaders reached the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class AA final in Syracuse. M-W is on a 44-game winning streak vs. Section 9 opponents.

   Third down: Quarterback Mark Seager rushed for 143 yards rushing and two touchdowns and Kyle Warmt added 122 yards on six carries, including a 56-yard TD run as No. 21 Ballston Spa downed No. 23 Shenendehowa 34-18 in a Week 3 confrontation between ranked Class AA teams.

   Ballston Spa finished with 332 rushing yards in 32 attempts.

   The Scotties' 14-0 lead in the second quarter -- an inadvertent whistle erased another potential TD -- was short-lived as Shen's Xavier White scored on a 6-yard punt return after a high snap forced the punter into a scramble and QB Andrew Kalish drove the Plainsmen 85 yards to cut it to 14-12 just before the half.

   "When I spoke to them before the game, we talked about the true measure of courage happening during adverse times," Ballston Spa coach John Bowen told The Times Union. "With the special teams gaffes that we had, and the inadvertent whistle, our boys faced what I spoke about in the beginning of the game. They came out and

showed heart in the second half."

   Seager and Matt Clark scored touchdowns in the third period to break open the game.

   Fourth down: A hulking Bronxville squad rolled up 423 yards of offense and dominated No. 10 Dobbs Ferry in Section 1 Class C action at Gould Park.

   It was the first regular-season loss for Dobbs Ferry since 2000. Dobbs Ferry's string of seven sectional championships ended with a loss in the 2008 semifinals.

   "When we came into camp this summer," Bronxville coach Jeff Napolitano told The Journal News, "I knew Dobbs Ferry was in huge trouble."

   The Broncos, with an offensive line averaging 265 pounds, were playing their first game with a full roster. Thirteen seniors missed the opener after being suspended for an unspecified infraction.

   "I think we've got the biggest line in Section 1," said Bronxville RB Brian Murray (24 carries, 106 yards). "They were phenomenal today. There were just huge holes all day. They took control right away and just dominated."

   Quick kicks: Mike Rooney was 6-for-8 for 127 yards and two touchdowns for East Islip in a 21-6 victory over defending Long Island Class II champion Riverhead, ranked No. 5 in Class AA by the NYSSWA.

   Sean Moller had a 40-yard touchdown reception, three interceptions and one fumble recovery for East Islip, which put up all of its points in the first half to take a 21-6 lead over Riverhead, which was riding a 13-game winning streak.

   The stat sheet: Bishop Maginn senior Tymear Mallory gained a career-high 228 yards and scored all four of his team's touchdowns in a 25-7 victory over Averill Park as the Griffins bounced back from a shocking 51-6 loss to Class A No. 15 Gloversville.

   "We just didn't play with enough toughness last week, so we challenged the kids in practice and did a lot more hitting than usual," Maginn coach Joe Grasso said. "We just stuck with the same stuff in the second half, but did a better job of it."

   Mallory picked up 187 yards in the second half.

   Clay Harris Jr. ran 19 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns as Class AA No. 13 Rush-Henrietta earned a 28-7 victory over Class A No. 17 Canandaigua. Quarterback Ashton Broyld talked on 102 yards on 14 carries and threw for another 72 yards for the Royal Comets.
