It’s probably only fitting that Yorktown, which earlier this season had a four-week winning streak, wins the final Gameface of the Week for the 2009 spring season. The ‘Huskers have Sarah Scott to thank for that.

The girls lacrosse player beat Mike Rosenfeld in a pretty tight race.

Congratulations, Sarah, and thanks to all for a fun season.

Congratulations to all the Section 1 athletes for an incredible spring season. Despite the wet start, it came to an incredible finish.

Congratulations, too, to John Ranagan of Yorktown for winning the second-to-last Gameface of the Week for the 2008-2009 school year.

As for the final poll, I’ve tracked down 10 top-notch competitors. Vote away, enjoy your summers and see you in the fall!

And, of course, best of luck to all the graduates. You (and your gamefaces) will be missed.

Nyack girls lacrosse player Erin McCabe got 941 votes to easily outdistance the field to win the Gameface of the Week. Yorktown girls lacrosse player Jamie Morrison was next with 354 votes.

There are seven candidates up for this week’s honor. Cast your vote.

Congratulations to Harrison girls track standount Christi Marraccini, who managed to pull away from the competition in a pretty tight race.

Marraccini got 708 votes to edge Samantha Welsh (607) of North Rockland and Ryan Kraemer (443) of Tappan Zee.

This week, fresh off their sectional tournament, we’ve got five girls lacrosse players in the running. And they’re alll sporting great faces.

Vote away!

Congratulations to Nanuet girls lacrosse player Courtney McGrath, who edged Yorktown boys lacrosse player John Ranagan by 99 votes last week. McGrath got 412 votes to Ranagan’s 313.

This week’s group features some good track shots from the class meets, a nice tennis photo, and some good shots from championship lacrosse games and baseball and softball diamonds.

As the sectional lacrosse, baseball and softball playoffs heat up this week, I’m looking forward to some intense photos!

In the meantime, vote away!

UPDATE 5/27: I just found out I can’t put a face with a name! Or a name with a face, for that matter. My apologies to Tappan Zee baseball player Ryan Kraemer for my swing and a miss.

Shannon Howe of Pearl River girls lacrosse has managed to end the Yorktown streak! After four consecutive ‘Husker winners, Howe’s 1,311 votes prevailed.

With the holiday next Monday, the poll will stay up until Tuesday, so you get an extra day to vote for your favorite face.

Good luck to all the contenders!

Liam McCarthy has extended Yorktown’s winning streak to four weeks. McCarthy received 717 votes to beat Pleasantville track standout Miles Peterson. 

Because I’m a big believer in the philosphy that somebody has to knock off the reigning champ, and because he’s sporting a fantastic gameface, we have another Yorktown representative this week. I’ve added an extra competitor, though, for him to fend off.

Cast your votes, and may the best face win!

Boys lacrosse player Brett Cabriele won last week’s poll to extend Yorktown’s winning streak to three.

Another Husker lacrosse player, Liam McCarthy, is in one of this week’s candidates.

Place your votes, and may the best gameface win.

Congratulations to Yorktown girls lacrosse player Amanda Trendell, who won last week’s Gameface voting.

A new group of seven candidates is posted to the right. Please vote for your favorite.

Rivalries apparently carry over to the Gameday Central blog, too.

In one of the most exciting weeks of voting, Lindsay Scott of Yorktown and her legion of fans outlasted Kelsey Bub of Lakeland/Panas and her loyal followers. The final vote total was 26,977 for Scott and 24,367 votes for Bub.

Honorable mention goes to Kelsey Rehain of Suffern who got 2,288 votes.

Thanks to everyone for your enthusiasm and for voting. Congratulations to all three great athletes and great gamefaces.

This week’s contenders are posted off to the right. Let’s keep the school spirit going!
