Rye Boys Varsity Football Season Ends After Goring by Somers Tuskers
Rye Boys Varsity Football received a goring by the Somers Tuskers on Friday at the Section 1 Class A football championship match. Somers claimed its second title in as many years with a 45-13 win over Rye. The Garnet season ends with an impressive 8-2 record.
“We had a very great, very worthy and wonderful season,” said Rye Boys Varsity Football Coach Dino Garr. “We won some really nail-biting games and we played well. We got better as we went along. And from a coaching perspective and that’s all you can ask your players to do.”
On the Somers battle Garr commented: “We started out okay, we had the first half I thought was in pretty good shape, but I saw that [the team] having difficulty tackling. We missed a lot of tackles today. And to their credit, [Somers has] got some very good backs. That’s a talented team. They are number one ranked in the state for a reason and they were really good. They got the total package.”
