Luchetti was playing TE in the spring
Levy should be listed as a RB
Ciaffioni was a PWO
Muse played OLB & SS last season. Anyone know where he was playing in the spring?
Mahogany is a RFR
Missing Rueve at QB
Missing Ray Marten at TE

Is it possible he graduated and decided to moved on? He was injured last year.
We have a ton of depth (henning error depth) at TE.

He was a starter against VTech, then rarely played in the 2nd half of the season and wasn't on the Duke game depth chart. This hurts more for next season.

I can’t speak for it now, but back in the day Scarsdale was like the Westchester High School Basketball version of the Wisconsin Badgers—white as the driven snow, all players were roughly the same size, played a slow tempo game with perfect discipline, fundamentally sound in all aspects of the game. They were a very hard out, except when they ran into a very athletic team, in which case they could be run off the court—which happened every time they played MV and occasionally when they played Ossining, who Obi Toppen aside, would produce a D1 player every couple of years (there was kid who ended up at Temple and another who ended up at GW when both went to the Elite 8 during that era).
They were also actually pretty good at football with pretty much the same profile. In that case, they had the best—in terms of teaching and coaching—pop warner football programs that they split with Eastchester (think they were called the Blue Devils). Although the best player in that area in that era was the big Jewish fullback who played for Wisconsin and spent a season or two playing for Detroit who played at Edgemont. It is funny, for all the hype that surrounded a few Yonkers, New Rock, MV, White Plains and Mamaroneck kids (Sammy Maldonado?) during that era, the best RB was a Jewish kid from a high school that is 50% Asian and sends a disproportionate share of its students to the Ivy League.
I always thought the Dutchess County schools punched above their weight in baseball. I beat Dave Fleming 1-0 in American Legion Ball my first year his last year— he was from Mahopac/Putnam County and went on to lead Georgia to a national championship and then a six or seven year MLB career (incidentally, he couldn’t throw a fastball through a wet paper bag, but his breaking stuff was filthy), but I got fucking wrecked by Arlington Legion—demolished by a bunch of kids who were going to play at Canisius, Bonnies and Marist—and I had decent stuff that day and I lost a game to a team that was out of Hyde Park or Rheinbeck called the Highlanders where I threw a 2 hitter but lost 1-0 to a kid who no hit us, whose name escapes me, but who apparently had a cup of coffee in MLB (think he was an Eye-tie, might have gone to college in the MAAC, but not Marist, and he only had one pitch but it was a 90-95 mph fastball that ran 6 or seven inches in on righties and away from lefties and was terrifying because location was not his strength—I believe he walked 5 of our hitters and HBP 2 more).

Scarsdale is 50% asianed?

I always thought Brewster should be better at sports based on its location.
I played summer league basketball with Mahopac's varsity. Those guys were very good (summer of '91).

Definitely Legion. Mid-Hudson Highlanders were the team who had the Italian kid who could throw the ball 95 mph. As I think about it now, I think we played the game at SUNY New Paltz. He was two or three years older than me--probably the same age as Fleming--so he'd be 90 or 91 for college. I do distinctly remember some of those boys having FDR and Lourdes gear, so I think they had Dutchess and Ulster kids. Thought the other team was Arlington--we played the game in Poughkeepsie--maybe at Spackenkill, but doing some inter web sleuthing it appears there was a combined Newburgh-Poughkeepsie Legion team during that era. Anyway, they kicked the shit out of me--laid off every splitter, were willing to take a lot of strikes on the corners and didn't chase a thing. Wore me out, reduced the strike zone to a shoebox and teed off on me in the 4th or 5th inning if I recall correctly. At 8 or 9 or 10 runs and my coach leaving me in to take one for the team, I think I put fastball in a kid's ear and then did it to the next kid as well and got myself ejected. One of my most miserable sports experiences. Played them again a year later and beat them, but mostly because their pitcher blew up in the 1st or 2nd inning and I was able to give them stuff to hit early and my defense took care of me. I remember those guys because it was traumatic.
* I found the Italian guy after some sleuthing--Frank Cimorelli of your high school alma mater. Made 11 appearances with the St Louis Cardinals in 1994 and spent another 7 years in the minors--two really good seasons with Louisville in AAA. Seems that everything fell apart when the Cards sent him down and he ended up flaming out of Louisville and ending with two lackluster seasons in AA. MLB ERA is 8.78 and a WAR of -0.6. It goes to show how good you have to be to make an MLB roster because he sucked as an MLB pitcher and I can tell you that it was terrifying batting against him.
