Saturday afternoon (1:45 pre-game, 2:00 kick-off) will feature a Conference II clash between Lawrence and Hewlett.

The High School Football Game of the Week's webcasts can be accessed from Sports Radio Network's official web-site http://www.sportsradionet.com.

Play-by-play announcer Rob Goldenberg and color analyst Alon Avital will have the call.

The Friday Night game will showcase one of Long Island's top teams, the Farmingdale Dalers, as they host Division I foe Uniondale. Undefeated on the season, Farmingdale has been impressive outscoring opponents 151-30. The Dalers, led by ninth-year head coach Buddy Krumenacker, have appeared in seven of the last 11 Conference I championship games, and are eyeing another trip to Hofstra for an opportunity to win a Long Island Championship.

Last Saturday afternoon, Farmingdale dominated Syosset 34-13, as junior quarterback Matt Danowski rushed for two touchdowns and threw for two more. Defensive end Randy Earle had an interception and a fumble recovery in the win.

Greg Johnson's Uniondale Knights' season will be on the line this weekend. After posting a 7-2 record last season and earning a trip to the playoffs, the third-seeded Knights have been a disappointment thus far.

Uniondale will be trying to bounce back from a 7-6 loss at the hands of sixth-ranked Baldwin. Baldwin's defense limited the Knights to just one first-half touchdown. Steven King, who had 162 yards on 34 carries, tallied the lone score in the second quarter.

Uniondale has struggled on the offensive side of the ball, and have been outscored 86-80.

Saturday's game will be a Conference II battle of the "Five Towns" as host Hewlett will face-off with Lawrence.

First place and undefeated Lawrence, has found a new lease on life after a disappointing 2-6 2000 season. Second-year head coach Lou Andre's Golden Tornado, have overpowered its competition, gaining victories over New Hyde Park, Westbury, South Side, MacArthur and the defending 2000 Long Island champions Garden City.

Quarterback Rob Blount tossed two touchdown passes, including the eventual game-winner to Chris Bone early in the third quarter, in a 20-13 win over New Hyde Park on Saturday afternoon.

In five games, the Golden Tornado have outscored its opposition 115-33.

Hewlett will have pride on the line this weekend as the Bulldogs will face an uphill battle to make the post-season. After beginning the season 2-0, the Bulldogs have dropped three straight, including a loss to seventh-seeded South Side last Saturday afternoon.

WSRN will also feature a doubleheader next week with coverage of Farmingdale versus Baldwin on Friday night and Plainedge against Glen Cove on Saturday afternoon.
