No. 3 Wantagh Warriors (4-0) at No. 6 Plainedge Red Devils (4-0)
Sports Radio Network's (WSRN) coverage of Nassau County Football
continues this weekend with a live and exclusive webcast of the
Wantagh-Plainedge match-up, pitting together the two remaining unbeatens in
Conference III.
The High School Football Game of the Week's webcast, which can be
accessed from Sports Radio Network's official web-site
http://www.sportsradionet.com, will kick-off Saturday afternoon at 1:45 with
a pre-game show. Game time is scheduled for 2.
Play-by-play announcer Rob Goldenberg and color analyst Alon Avital
will have the call.
Ninth-year head coach Keith Sachs led his team to an upset victory
last weekend, when his third-seeded Wantagh Warriors upended top-seeded and
defending Long Island Conference III champs Bethpage 21-7. It was only
Sachs' second win over the Golden Eagles and legendary head coach Howie
Vogts.
But Sachs and his determined Warriors aren't satisfied just yet.
Led by senior signal-caller Brian Rath, who completed 12-of-16 passes
for 167 yards and three touchdowns against Bethpage, and senior tight
end/linebacker Chris Martocchia, the Warriors have their eye on a regular
season championship.
Wantagh has outscored its opposition 82-32 in its four victories.
For Plainedge, fifth-year head coach Rob Shaver has turned a dormant
program - which finished 0-8 just four seasons ago - to one that has
legitimate hopes of making noise in this season's Conference III playoffs.
Senior tailback Mike Cervini has paved the way by running roughshod
on the opposition, rushing for a league-leading 681 yards and scoring a
league-best seven touchdowns in just four games.
With 111 points in its first four games, the Red Devils has already
surpassed last season's total of 95.
On defense, senior linebacker Mike Galligan anchors a unit that has
allowed an average of 13.3 points per game.
This shapes up to be a pivotal game for both teams, with playoff
seedings in the balance.
