As we hit the midway point of the CDFL’s summer session, we have found out several things about the quality of the players as well as their heart, drive, and determination to improve their playing skills. Without fail, every single young man on every team are complete gentlemen, fierce competitors, and some of the hardest workers this scout and ex-coach has ever seen.
Granted this is still a “developmental” program, but the players are grasping the concept of the playbook’s foundations. Granted their are miscues, but that is true of the great game of football at every level.
The 5pm contest this week features the Rockland Rattlers vs. the Westchester Nighthawks. While both teams may have had trouble scoring points their first two contests, they are both capable of moving the ball on the field, and have quality players on both sides of the ball.
The “Hawks” have LaRon Davenport, Malcolm Lee, Kevin Lopez, Aldo Hernandez, and Travis Kelly at the Wideouts, While Chris Boyce, Sean Griffin, and FB Willie Calhoun provide the punch on the ground. QB Anthony Carrillo is steadily improving, and has a powerful arm. He shows lots of poise in the pocket or on the rollout.
Rockland also has a large cast of contributors, including Lynell Suggs and Chris Kears at WR, and a host of RB options for QB Colin Doyle to get the ball to, including Jonathan Coppage, Shaquan Speede, Robbins Mondesir, and Quentin Williams. Herbie Mann,Larry Cabrera, and George Valdez have proven they are able to play both sides of the ball with skill.
The Battle of the “Undefeateds” is between the Orange Sprit and the Bergen Bears at 7pm.
The Spirit are led by former NFL and College QB talent Gus Ornstein at Head Coach. He and his assistants, TY Landrum Sr. and Mike Zaccagnino have a talented squad Including Ty Landrum Jr. James Heredia, Bobby Mangano, Lamont Brown, JP Fox, Jordan Polite, Anthony Vecchione, and the Terry Brothers, Michael and Malcolm.
Bergen Is led by Head coach Jeremy Beamon and assisted by Ed Van Curan and Anthony Van Curan. Their squad fields the likes of Mike Fernandez at QB, Oakland California product Marcus Davis and Steven Washington of Buffalo, N.Y. at RB. Luke McCaffery, William Mengal, Rasheen Glashin and David Washington are some of the WR/DB’s, and Phil Gordon, Ricky Javier, and Mike Bruner have done good work in the trenches.
Will week three’s action be the explosive offensive games the coaches have been waiting for, or more staunch defense again. Follow the action on Ustream.tv or through the CDFL website at www.playCDFL.com and don’t forget the CDFL review show Tuesday night at 7:30 eastern on Blog talk radio at www.blogtalkradio.com/Football-Reporters, Hosted by Myself, with Play by Play Voice John Kelly Jr. and CDFL co-founder and CEO Coach George St. Lawrence
