Long Island High Post Season Awards

As the season has come to the end I have decided to give out some awards. The rules were that I had to be at the game for it to be considered.
Game of the Year - Mount Sinai - 28 vs. Babylon - 27 - Long Island Championship Game - 11/18/06 - Click here for story
This was a toss up, the Freeport vs. East Meadow (click here for story)game a day earlier was outstanding as well. Both games went down to the wire. Each had great individual story lines (Chris Bright filling in for an injured Alex Rivas and James Whittenpen kicking the game winning field goal after missing to extra points and a field goal).In the end though the James Whittenpen storyline won me over. It was so magical to be there watching that game the crowd was electric. Also watching Whittenpen redeem himself and kick the winning field goal is what High School football is all about.
Honorable Mention - West Islip vs. Bellport - click here for story
Play of the Year - Mount Sinai's James Whittenpen game wining field goal in the Suffolk County Division 4 Championship
See above for the reason.
Honorable Mention - Plainedge's Cornerback John Dick deflecting the a potential game winning 2pt try by Wantagh's quarterback Pat Browne with 30 seconds left in the Plainedge's 14-13 victory in the 1st round of the playoffs.
Best Home Stadium - Bellport - Joe Cipp Field
The atmosphere was outstanding, people were pack all around the field. The announcer was great and they have their own rap. No other stadium can say they have their own rap.
Honorable Mention - Plainedge Stadium - Men wearing hard hats, inflatable football player in the stand.
Best Mascot - The Seaford Viking
Great costume, plus in the 1st half the mascot is 6 feet tall and then in the second half its 5'6"
Best Individual Performance in a Game - Steve Probst - Quarterback, Farmingdale High School
In Farmingdale's 1st round playoff game against Uniondale, the junior QB passed for 234 yards and 4 touchdowns. He also rushed for 63 yards. He was out of the game mid way through the 3rd quarter. He was only 6 for 12 on the night but 3 to 4 passes were dropped by his receivers.
Honorable Mention - Jonathan Spurill's performance in Bellport's victory over West Islip. Spurill had 83 yard receiving and 2 touchdowns, on defense he had 2 INTs.
