Confessions of a Football Mom
This fall I broke an unwritten rule of football leagues nationwide: No Moms on the Field.
No. 2 Rye shut out No. 7 Pelham at home in the Section I Class B quarterfinals October 29. The score was 7-0.
The Garnets, who were seeded 7th in Class A, stunned Somers, who were seeded 2nd, in the quarterfinals on the Tuskers’ turf. Rye came out on top 1-0 in the October 29 nail-biter.
Things looked tenuous for the 7-0, No. 2 seed Rye Neck football team in the first half against third-seeded Bronxville at home in the Section C semifinals on October 26.
The undefeated and No. 1 seeded Garnets beat Yorktown Huskers at home October 19 in the Section 1 Class A quarterfinal game, 36-20, on the coldest night of the season.

kim Buyuk and Diana King won the first Sectional Doubles title for Rye Neck High School October 19 by defeating Eastchester 6-3, 6-2. Coach Mark Canno summed up their win: the girls served perfectly and made very few unforced errors.
Rye Country Day School’s field hockey and girls’ soccer teams earned No. 1 seed designation for the NYSAIS tournaments which begin October 30.
One Inspired Evening:
Wainwright House, the oldest non-sectarian learning center in the country, was alive with music October 26
When we moved to Rye in 1992, we did so because it was the closest town to Manhattan. I grew up in Manhattan, and messy as it was, I was not to the suburbs born.
In golf, a scrambler is the kind of player who somehow manages to score well despite not placing the ball consistently in the fairway or making many greens in regulation.
