New Paltz has a real challenge coming up -- the hardest it has met all year. It is set to face off against Pleasantville in a playoff match this Friday. New Paltz is skipping in on a five-game winning streak; likewise, Pleasantville rolls in with ten consecutive wins.
New Paltz scooted by Marlboro Central last week with a score of 33 - 17. Junior quarterback Jimmy Verney continued his outstanding stretch of play, as he rushed for 191 yards in the win, marking his 5th consecutive game with over 100 yards rushing. Verney has now scored at least one TD in the past nine consecutive games.
As for Pleasantville, it didn't have too many spare points last week in its contest with Westlake, but it was still a 28 - 21 win. Junior Nicholas Salzarulo was a defensive powerhouse in the victory and ended up with 15 total tackles.
Their wins bumped Pleasantville to 10-0 and New Paltz to 8-1. Both the New Paltz and Pleasantville defenses have allowed few points this year (averaging 11.89 ppg and 6.9 ppg, respectively), so the teams might find scoring more difficult than usual this week.
