Nassib takes the heat for Orange letdown
Future Orangemen
No. 2 Tottenville 31, No. 15 Brooklyn Tech 0: Augustus Edwards ran for 108 yards and a touchdown and Alvin Cornelius had a rushing touchdown and an interception to lead Tottenville (9-1), which hosts No. 8 Campus Magnet in the quarterfinals Saturday. Quarterback Brandon DiGirolamo ran for a touchdown and so did linebacker/offensive lineman Kenny Coughlin, who tripled as a fullback. Brooklyn Tech finishes 4-6.

Red Land quarterback Kyle Biddle gets sacked by Hershey's Harold Brantley during the first half of a District 3 quarterfinal game at Hersheypark Stadium. - (CHRIS KNIGHT, The Patriot-News)
In overtime, he and Hershey’s Harold Brantley were the only players to touch the ball offensively.
Brantley, the Trojans’ bruising senior running back, scored first. Then Ford.
In the second OT, it was Ford. Then Brantley.
Brantley again started the third with a touchdown, and Ford soon followed. Only this time head coach Chad Weaver elected to attempt a two-point conversion rather than the extra-point kick.
The play? A toss left to Ford, who cut inside and found the end zone for the winning points. Including his three receptions out of the backfield, it was his 49th touch of the game.
“I was a little nervous,” Ford said of the two-point call, which followed a time-out. “It came from [Weaver]. He basically asked us what we wanted to do, and there was no doubt. We were going to go for two.”
Added Weaver: “The thinking was we couldn’t stop them on defense. Brantley was going to score a touchdown every time, so we were going to either win it or lose it right there.”
Brantley had trouble getting untracked in regulation, but he was unstoppable in overtime and finished with 80 yards on the ground (30 in OT). He also barreled through some helpless defensive backs to score a game-tying, 26-yard touchdown reception with 8:03 remaining in the fourth quarter.
“He’s a freak,” Ford said of his counterpart. “He’s huge. Basically we just ran to whichever side Brantley wasn’t on [as a linebacker].” Brantley, by the way, also had eight tackles and two sacks. There is a video recap.

North, who benefited from five Dalton Crossan touchdowns, pounded East, 57-6, in the Suffolk County Division I semifinals before more than 4,000 fans at Fred Fusaro Alumni Stadium.
Crossan finished with 17 carries for 248 yards and five touchdowns, which ties a program record for scores in a game. He also tied it in Week 8 against Lindenhurst and is only the second player to do it twice in one year at Sachem. Crossan also broke Sachem's career rushing touchdown record. He now has 47, one more than James O'Neal's 46 set in 1994-1995. His 32 rushing touchdowns this season also ties O'Neal's single-season mark.
"It ultimately comes down to Dalton Crossan," said Sachem North coach Dave Falco. "He’s a special player. He’s really led this team every step of the way."
Crossan scored all five touchdowns in a row, three in the first half and two in the second half
"We’re excited to get back to the county championship game, especially against Floyd," Crossan said. "We’re going to be coming for them."
