Last Friday, Yorktown was fully in charge, breezing past Eastchester 40-7. Given the Huskers' advantage in MaxPreps' New York football rankings (they are ranked 16th, while the Eagles are ranked 118th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Meanwhile, Rye put another one in the bag on Friday to keep their perfect season alive. They put the hurt on Brewster with a sharp 34-14 victory. The Garnets pushed the score to 34-7 by the end of the third, a deficit the Bears cut but never quite recovered from.

As for Yorktown, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 6-3 record this season.
Yorktown came up short against Rye when the teams last played back in October, falling 34-21.
