Records: Tuckahoe is 9-1, Cal-Mum is 11-1.
Rankings: Cal-Mum is ranked No. 1 and Tuckahoe No. 2 by the New York State Sportswriters Association.
Coaches: John D'Arco (Tuckahoe) and Mike Monacelli (Cal-Mum).
Digging inside the schedules: Class D, my foot. Tuckahoe played almost exclusively against Class C competition since Haldane is the only other Class D squad in the section and ran up a 398-76 scoring margin. The lone blemish was a 33-19 loss to Bronxville, which is merely 11-0 and playing for the state Class C crown this weekend, and no one else tacked up more than 13 points vs. the Tigers.
Cal-Mum's loss came in Week 2 by a 13-0 margin to Letchworth, which easily could have been the other Class C finalist this weekend. The Red Raiders outscored their opponents by 443-89 and rattled off five straight shutouts beginning in midseason.
With the exception of the games against Letchworth and LeRoy, which had a down year, all of Cal-Mum's games were vs. Class D opponents.
About Tuckahoe: Jarret Sommer has rolled up a gaudy 1,017 yards on just 101 carries and scored 13 TDs on the ground in his fourth season on the varsity. He stands at 3,503 yards for his career. Behind him are three 500-yard rushers (Luis Esquilin, Kevin Garabitos and Gary Jennings). Garabitos is 25-for-47 for 478 yards and seven TDs through the air, including 13-for-15 for 236 yards over the first five weeks of the season.
Sommer is coming off a 128-yard effort vs. Moriah in the state semifinals as the senior-heavy (19 of them) Tigers avenged their loss in the 2008 playoffs. The offense averages 334.2 rushing yards per game.
Junior end Gary Moss has paced the defense with four tackles per game and 10 sacks this season. Two-way senior linemen Kevin Chen and John Jubilee are the keys to controlling the line of scrimmage.
Here's a quote to keep in mind: "We could have more talent on this team than when we won the state” (in 2008), D’Arco told The Journal News. The significance is that he
