With snow pelting the Westchester County landscape, adding an unprecedented element in these late-October quarterfinals, Ossining weathered a 14-0 storm en route to a hard-fought 35-26 defeat of Gorton. The engine that propelled Ossining to the come-from-behind win was one of Brian Connelly’s go-to targets in Sam LaCour.

LaCour hauled in four passes for 113 yards, including a 68-yard dart from his Bucknell-bound quarterback. Three-sport athlete Justin Davidov ripped off a 15-yard touchdown run.

Ossining executed with a proficient mix of their high-horsepower running game and Connelly’s deft touch. Marc Clancy rattled off a 154 yards on the ground. LaCour reeled in two loud touchdown passes—including a 71-yarder—to help lift Ossining past Rye during Week III.

Ossining came roaring back from the 14-0 deficit in the second quarter, when they reeled off a rapid-fire 21-0 surge.

Jesse Mainero is a running back masquerading as a QB. Mainero has toted the potent arm in wins against Hen Hud (134 yards passing), Nanuet (134 yards passing), and Pleasantville (105 yards passing), but the senior has done much of his damage on the ground lately. He's gashed opponents for 100+ yards in his last five games, racking up 147 yards on 17 touches during a 41-0 shellacking of Westlake last week.

Other than Our Lady Of Lourdes, no team has come within 19 points of top-ranked and undefeated Croton (7-0). Junior halfback/inside linebacker Nick Gross is averaging 7.0 yards per carry. To view the Tigers' team stats on Max Preps, kindly click here.
