An early leap and Tottenville's Alvin Cornelius keeps soaring
The city's most dangerous combination pairs Barnes and wideout Alvin Cornelius , who had 29 receptions for 662 yards and 15 TDs last season.
Cornelius, the state's No. 8 prospect, according to Super Prep magazine, made the biggest noise of the offseason when he verbally committed to Syracuse in June. The Orange were the first program to offer a scholarship to Cornelius, who was impressed with the coaching staff, especially wide receivers coach Rob Moore, who played with the Jets and Cardinals in the NFL.
"It's a great choice. Their staff (at Syracuse) showed him to most sincere and deepest interest," Munson said.

Syracuse-bound wide receiver Alvin Cornelius said in the week of practice leading up to the game, he was on top of Edwards, making sure the youngster was ready for his chance. Edwards didn’t say much – his play did the talking.
“I’d be on my blocks and I’d turn around and he was throwing people off of him,” the senior recalled with a smile. “I was like, ‘Yes, he came ready to play.’”

Hills West QB Devante McFarlane #2 breaks through the Smithtown West line for a gain of 8 yards. (Sept. 9, 2011)
Half Hollow Hills West needed to ride a Colt to victory, and quarterback Devante McFarlane was only too happy to oblige.
The Syracuse-bound McFarlane proved to be a Wild West show all by himself, rushing 17 times for 277 and four touchdowns and throwing for another, in a 34-14 Hills West win at Smithtown West.

God really does work in mysterious ways. After all, how else can you explain David Tyree's catch in Super Bowl XLII against the Patriots? If that wasn't divine intervention, I don't know what is.

Opening Statement:
We, of course, lost a really tough one up at Syracuse this past week. I thought that our kids played really, really hard. I think Syracuse is a good football team, and we just made too many mistakes to win on the road in the opener.
You could tell that there was a little bit of a letdown in our guys when Tanner came out. And I think it probably encouraged the Syracuse team a little bit because he was having a pretty good day against them.
I think Syracuse is a pretty good football team, and opening on the road is always a problem. That's where all your mistakes are exaggerated, when you're on the road in the opener against a good football team.
You guys have a pretty tough out-of-conference schedule. I'm hoping you could tell me a little bit about how you weigh different things like getting the team ready for the conference and looking maybe for some easier wins versus what you're doing.
Well, I think what's been our way to play non-conference games is we basically go home and home with other teams. Some of the teams that we've gone home and home with are Ole Miss and Nebraska and Stanford, Notre Dame and Syracuse and Connecticut, really good teams that we've gone home and home with, and I think we're not in the position where we can actually go out and buy wins, and I think some programs are a little bit more positioned to do that.
What were the things that you liked most about what he did against Syracuse?
Well, he's much more settled. He has a better understanding of the offense certainly, and he showed that against Syracuse. I think he made some quality throws. He missed some easy throws. I think -- it was funny, he had two or three throws that I thought were pretty much threading the needle, really difficult throws that he got in there, and then he had two or three throws that were the kind of throws that you and I could have completed that he missed.
I think he still at times hurries his throws a little bit and doesn't set his feet. But the improvement from last year to this year has been pretty good, and I would anticipate as the season goes on he'll continue that improvement

Delone Carter, Indianapolis Colts
Now that the news has come down that Peyton Manning won't be on the field for quite some time, Delone Carter has gone from a trendy sleeper running back to a near sure thing.
The Colts will use Joseph Addai, Donald Brown and Delone Carter this season, but Carter will be the one getting the goal-line carries. Carter may not pile up yardage for you, but he will be a guy that brings the cheap touchdown or two from time to time.
Carter's ceiling is probably similar to BenJarvus Green-Ellis' in New England. Green-Ellis began as little more than a red-zone running back, and now he is the primary running back on that team.
