The Rye Girls Lacrosse Team moved to 3-0 in league play on Friday The Garnets’ offense surged on a night where the final score was not the only important outcome “The night was extra special as both JV and varsity teams from both programs dedicated their games to Morgan’s Message,” Varsity Head Coach Michelle Mason told MyRye.com after the game “May is Mental Health Awareness month and we were able to raise meaningful funds to donate to Morgan’s Message and support eliminating the stigma surrounding student-athlete mental health.” Both Rye teams honored the occasion with huge offensive performances as the JV Garnets won 16-8 and the varsity team 15-5 Mason’s group led 7-2 after the first quarter and were able to cruise from there “The Garnets started fast and never looked back in our win over Bronxville,” Mason told MyRye.com “The pace of play was outstanding and we were clicking throughout the entire field.” All seven starters recorded at least one point for Rye as the Garnets piled up fifteen goals holding the visiting Broncos to just five goals Katherine Ebeling had a banner night in goal with a .667 save percentage and ten saves Rye (7-4, 3-0) next plays at home at 5:00pm on Monday, May 5.

officials A Husky was found leashed in the back bed of a pickup truck on Route 6 in Carmel when the Putnam County SPCA’s Law Enforcement Division stopped a truck on Route 6 in Carmel after spotting a vehicle with a husky tied in the open truck bed Officials say the stop was made before the dog was harmed but noted that such transport methods pose serious risks or other road hazard could cause the animal to be injured or cause possible death," the SPCA said on Saturday The SPCA emphasized that tying or leashing a dog in the bed of a moving truck may constitute a misdemeanor under New York State Agriculture and Markets Law which prohibits "carrying an animal in a cruel manner."  Photos released by the SPCA show the dog sitting in the open truck bed a setup that animal protection officials say is all too common The name of the driver pulled over in Carmel was not made public The agency is urging the public to report any suspected cases of animal cruelty in Putnam County by calling

brothers combined with win and save for Fox Lane Yorktown turns page on first meeting and routs MahopacYORKTOWN — The first time the Mahopac and Yorktown baseball teams met this season Mahopac limited the Huskers to two hits in a 1-0 win which have both established themselves as among the best in Section 1 Class AA but the story couldn't have been more different Mahopac went to its pen for a second time in the game just in the third inning already down 6-0 with two Huskers on base and no out Things would end 10-0 an inning and a half later due to the 10-run mercy rule -- this time with Mahopac limited to two hits HighlightsIt wasn't that Yorktown completely manhandled the Pac's pitching The Huskers pounded out seven hits over those first three innings drew two walks and had two batters hit by pitches (consecutively to open the bottom of the third) The Huskers were also aided by some Mahopac defensive miscues in building their season record to 9-3 Senior Derek Patrissi was masterful on the mound against the now-11-3 Wolf Pac striking out three and walking none -- the latter a product of him throwing 43 of his 67 pitches for strikes The only small problem he got into (two on and two out in the second inning) he got out of with a grounder to short which put two runs on the board in the first inning against starter Jeremy O'Keefe chased O'Keefe two batters into the second inning after he yielded a single and walk to open things The big blow i the inning was an opposite-field two-run double to left by Brian White who if he wasn't going to play baseball for Pace University next year could easily find himself on a Division I collegiate track roster whose two-bagger came off reliever Ryan Marino was part of a rally that saw Ty Galante lay down the sac bunt that could have appeared on an instructional video It advanced runners to second and third and Alex Ornstein followed with an RBI single up the middle then stole third and used his speed to score on Patrisi's fly to medium left field -- White and the short-hop throw arriving almost simultaneously and the ball skipping up as White slid by More statsGabe Iavarone was 2 for 2 with two runs scored and one batted in -- that coming in Yorktown's four-run third Ornstein finished 1 for 2 with a run scored He also had the defensive play of the game moving quickly to his right and sliding on his knees to stop a scorching ground ball off the bat of Nick Masciarelli then popping up and making the throw to nip Masciarelli at first base Mahopac's pitching line saw O'Keefe go one inning with two hits four runs allowed but only two of them earned Marino's line was inflated by the two batters he struck later scoring He was saddled with four earned runs on just two hits over an inning of work allowing three hits and giving up two earned runs They said itWhite called playing Mahopac a "really good test," but said his team gives 100% every game whether playing a team of Mahopac's caliber or a team that's 0-20 who's usually at short when not pitching and who'll play next year for Wagner College indicated his team's approach at the plate has evolved this season "Early we were trying to hit homers," he said "The main goal is just to get a hit," White said Now it's also to finish the year with the best record in AA to get an opening-round bye in the playoffs "We want to be the last team to eat at the table." Tigers scored 11 first-inning runs and finished with 13 hits and nine walks Declan “New Country” Roldan with extra-innings walk-off RBI single who'd led off the bottom of the eighth with asingle clinch their first Fairchester Athletic Association playoff appearance since 2017 All nine Mounties batters had one or more hits The Tigers had 10 hits and drew eight walks Jack Gangemi's single to deep left field scored Jack Donnelly and Henry Vail to tie and win the game in walk-off fashion The Tigers pulled away with a seven-run second inning Sophomore Jackson Carroll went the distance for the win — (WP) Spencer Grayson (Recorded win in relief) Clarkstown South at Clarkstown North ,4:30 p.m 2025 at 12:11 pm ET.css-79elbk{position:relative;}Burglars might be looking for something specific NY — A troubling string of burglaries has police warning homeowners to take steps to secure their car key fobs and vehicles The Eastchester Police Department said on Friday that it is investigating a burglary that took place on Greystone Circle in the southern end of town Their initial investigation found that the suspects were trying to steal a luxury SUV which had been parked in a homeowner's driveway Police believe the suspects entered the home in order to find keys to the vehicle The Bronxville Police Department also said on Friday that it is investigating two recent occupied home burglaries where suspects forced entry SEE ALSO: Thieves Forced Way In Through Kitchen Window To Get To Car Keys Police are strongly urging residents to take extra precautions: Get more local news delivered straight to your inbox.

A popular line of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products has been pulled from shelves due to a safety concern impacting consumers in New York The recall involves nearly 19,000 pounds of sausage and sliced meat and poultry items according to a release from the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) The affected products were produced between Tuesday The issue was discovered after the company received consumer complaints about items that appeared off-color and had an unusual taste An internal review later revealed sodium nitrite levels in the products exceeded the regulatory limit The recalled items were shipped to retail and institutional locations across New York and may still be in refrigerators or freezers “Consumers and institutions who have purchased these products are urged not to consume or use them,” FSIS said “These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.” The products subject to recall have establishment number “EST 4578” or “P-4578” inside the USDA mark of inspection there have been no confirmed reports of illness Anyone concerned about a possible reaction should contact a healthcare provider For a list of products and labels included in the recall Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Joe Schaeffer call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-MPHotline (888-674-6854) or submit a report through the Electronic Consumer Complaint Monitoring System It was a difficult question to answer while Bronxville was ripping through a lopsided regular season We’re going to know a lot more about the Broncos in a week or two A quick and easy 42-7 win over Rye Neck in a Section 1 Class B quarterfinal Saturday improved the record to 8-0 “I think our ceiling is definitely very high,” Bronxville two-way lineman Matthew McSherry said “We haven’t played a lot of strong opponents so it’s really up to us to get better each week Scoreboard: Rye coach Dino Garr matches Tony DeMatteo atop Section 1 wins list The Broncos won a sectional title in Class C last fall An enrollment bump landed the program in Class B this season where the schools are bigger the players are stronger and the game is faster It’s a jump that makes the unbeaten record even more impressive “We like being the small school that plays against the bigger schools with 200 more kids than we have and showing them we can hang in Class B,” Bronxville running back and defensive back Davis Patterson said there is just one team that has provided any real concern Ardsley hung around before falling 26-19 a month ago and will be coming to Chambers Field next week for a Class B semifinal with some confidence “I’m so excited to play a great team,” Patterson added so it’s going to be fun playing a tough opponent for the first time in a while.” Bronxville opened the season with a 33-0 win over defending Class B champion Pleasantville and rolled through Pelham There is another undefeated team in the bracket Westlake is a familiar opponent that also moved up from Class C after losing to the Broncos in the final “I think we have the right tools,” Bronxville coach Patsy Manganelli said I think we’re doing a good job with the boys They’re believing in what they can do and hopefully we peak at the right time That first game against them was good for us We stayed true to who we are and came out with the victory “We have a special group that’s been together a long time We talk about effort being everything and I think we’re seeing that on the field.” Best walk-out in Section 1: Headless Horseman makes quite an entrance for Sleepy Hollow Sophomore quarterback Theo McMurray has a pair of versatile backs to hand the ball to in Patterson and Brian Formato along with a next level tight end who’s a downfield threat in Walker Moore There are 11 guys hustling to the ball on defense “Everyone knows Bronxville is a ground-and-pound team,” Patterson said “We like to show teams our line is better than their line and our running backs are tougher than their running backs which opens up the field and gives the cornerbacks something else to worry about.” The Broncos are clearly having a good time on the field and on the sideline but it gets businesslike in a hurry when the level of play begins to slip “I think our collective personality is really interesting,” McSherry said “I think we’re a less serious group than in the past we lock in and start flying around the field.” There is no visible anxiety here and there is more excitement about what’s to come than concern about what could go wrong in a nail-biter “I think the only thing that could stop us is us,” McSherry said “We just have to come out every week with the same purpose work hard and focus on whatever is going to make us better.”

Broncos goalie Lily Delaney made five saves Class AAA state championship: Albertus Magnus vs NEW YORK — If Sunday night's Rockland and the Northern Counties indoor track championships had a theme it was domination Arlington won both the girls and boys indoor team titles at Northern Counties (Dutchess and Putnam) And North Rockland swept the Rockland County team titles which came during a night in which Red Raiders athletes broke three school records were the third straight indoor titles for both the boys and girls Arlington left tasked with trying to find more space for track plaques the girls and boys teams both with more than 30 indoor county team titles in the past 35 years The meets capped a weekend of local track at The Armory in New York City Bronxville won the Westchester County boys team title and New Rochelle captured the Westchester girls team title The North Rockland boys win was highlighted by the performance of its 4x200-meter relay team Javon Lawrence, Darwin Almonte, Naji Mosley and Jaquan Johnson ran a collective 1:28.14 for the win "My three football guys are racing themselves into shape," North Rockland coach Orlando Rivera said whose football season was extended due to their team's success Their team's time not only broke the Red Raiders school record and Rockland County record but also the Section 1 record that was shared by the 2008 Ramapo and 2011 Mount Vernon boys 4x200 teams It is also the fastest time run among high school 4x200 teams in the state this season and seventh fastest in the country "Execution," Johnson answered when asked about how the team had run so fast And Mosley expects his team to run even better noting members had done other events (Johnson won the boys 55 dash) before the 4x200 "At state quals and states we're definitely going to make a statement," he predicted who helped the North Rockland girls team take the county title After being tied for the girls school high jump record at 5-2 she gained sole possession of it with a first-place clear of 5-3 "I've been wanting the high jump record for so long," she said But that was only one of two school records Hernandez won Hernandez clocked 7.21 seconds in the girls 55 dash 1 in Section 1 this season and tied her for 10th in the state who ended up winning the county title with a 7.12 clocking in Sunday's final the fifth fastest time among girls in the state this season Her wins were among six by the Red Raiders girls which helped them secure the team title with 131.33 points Suffern (78.66) was third and Pearl River (50) edged Nyack (48.33) for fifth Pearl River (58) and Nanuet was close behind in fifth (57) which had five first-place finishes and was led by Jake VanDermark and Arseniy Nechaev took the Northern Counties boys team title with 147 points John Jay-East Fishkill third (60) and Haldane (48) edged Mahopac (44) for fifth Arlington took the Northern Counties girls title with six first-place finishes contributing to its 127 points Mahopac (64) was fourth and Carmel (32) was fifth Arlington was helped by Kirsten Anastasio's performance won the Northern girls 1,500 and placed second in the 3,000 An athlete having multiple strong finishes recorded personal-best times in winning both the Rockland boys 300 and 600 His 300 time was 35.22 and his 600 1:22.82 who wants to qualify for the state championships in the 600 and then place in that event at states was told after his 600 win that he'd be doing the 300 Cromwell likes the 600 more because he believes he has greater potential to excel at that distance But the sophomore wasn't going to say no when asked to do the 300 "I take all the opportunities (offered)," he explained it's not uncommon for athletes to participate in multiple events but not always in their favorite as coaches try to juggle lineups to secure the most points where she thinks she might be able to gain a podium position teammate Cassidy Donovan ran and won the 1,000 and joined Donovan on TZ's girls 4x800 relay "I'm just scoring for my team," she said of doing multiple events won the 600 in a personal-best 1:36.11 and anchored the TZ 4x800 One of the more unusual pairing of events saw senior Jake Thomas run on Haldane's winning boys Northern 4x200 relay But while running sprints isn't the norm for throwers Thomas has made the sprinter/thrower combo work for him for the three years he has been doing track While the shot put probably won't get him to states he said getting there is his relay squad's goal which are slated for March 8 on Staten Island is also the goal of Mahopac's Brandon Kumrow The sophomore won the Northern Counties boys 1,000 in a personal-best 2:38.27 Kumrow noted his mom gave him splits he should work to hit for the first three laps of the five-lap race He was pretty much on target except he lost track of his lap count and realized he had only one lap left to turn on his jets She knows what she's talking about,' said Kumrow who'll probably welcome more as he tries to cut his time to further his chances of getting to Staten Island It won't be a surprise if Nyack's Alister Njenga makes it The senior recorded a personal-best distance of 44-2.5 to win the Rockland boys triple jump That puts him just two-and-a-quarter inches off the section lead Njenga noted when the winter started his goal was to get to 43-6 "I just need to keep putting in the work consistently," said Njenga who described triple jump as "technical and really hard on knees and ankles," but added One winner from Sunday probably has little chance of making states but that doestn't seem to bother her John Jay-East Fishkill senior Priya Connolly won the Northern girls 1,500-meter racewalk although more than a minute behind the Rockland winner and more than a minute and a half behind Saturday's Westchester winner But considering Connolly only started racewalking this winter "I just wanted to do it for fun and because my friends were doing it," she said of racewalking A four-year member of the JJ-EF track team Happy with her win but lamenting not starting racewalking sooner "I've never placed in any individual (running) events."

Patterson pointed to both Gravier and coach Brian Halling as key to the Broncos boys success who started in track as a sophomore after a torn labrum from football sidelined him from athletics winter and spring of his freshman year said Gravier's position among the top several 55 hurdlers in the country was inspirational showing the team it could have "multiple guys in the top 50," despite Bronxville's small size "He lit a fire," Patterson said of his classmate Halling had seeded him in the 600 in a meet with a time three seconds faster than he'd ever run the distance "He's such a great motivator," Gravier said "He gives us goals and expects us to meet them." Other goals met or exceededBut meeting or exceeding goals was a theme of the Westchester meet which was filled with personal-best performances One belonged to Tyler Marescot of Byram Hills Disappointed with his performance in the 55 dash he toed the starting line for the 300 trying to follow the advice of a teammate overtaking Dobbs Ferry's Jayden Smith (35.43) in the home stretch to win in 35.29 "I'm more of a chase-people kind of person," Marescot explained of not being fazed by having to catch someone "The last 50 meters I had 100% confidence I was not losing this race," Marescot said who said he'd originally hoped to play college football but "developed a big love" for track due to the self-discipline required to excel in it His much more immediate goal is to qualify for the state championships in the 300 and further lower his time Leia Patel and Adriana Pettinelli set a Scarsdale school record Patel pointed to her team entering the race with "lots of energy and positivity."

La Casa Purchase 10 in Purchase in what had been Tredici North Diners can expect a slightly smaller menu and limited hours — it's dinner service only for now — though hours and an expanded menu are to come in the next few weeks Owner Spencer Pingle said he was excited about the opportunity for expansion widening the Mexican restaurant's footprint to appeal to those in Northern Westchester and southern Connecticut "It's a great space and perfect for us," he said Not only was the size and layout attractive — there's now room for private dining something he doesn't have in Bronxville — but it's close to all the major highways including 284 More: 23 Westchester restaurants our lohud food reporter is looking forward to in 2025 What's the same, what's different at La Casa PurchaseIf you've been to La Casa Bronxville, which made the Michelin Guide list in 2022 you're familiar with its finely-curated seasonal menu commitment to quality and freshness — they're big into sustainably-sourced ingredients — and the fact that they don't overpower dishes with sauces and heat who's been at La Casa for three years and previously worked at Casa Enrique in Manhattan (awarded a Michelin star during his tenure) Both he and Pingle are big into offering a spin on traditional items as well as dishes that are more sophisticated than what people generally think of when they think of Mexican food meaning entrees like octopus and lamb shank "I think people tend to think of Tex-Mex when they think of Mexican food," said Pingle While tacos are a big part of the offerings Ramirez is all about letting the ingredients shine with fillings like pulled pork ranchera salsa (Hongas) and housemade sausage First and foremost he and Pingle want you to be able to taste the food The restaurant features 20 different house made salsas some of which are very hot and some of which aren't "There's a traditional mindset that if it's not hot it's about experiencing a spectrum of food and offering a balance." Other dishes include Pulpo a la Plancha (seared octopus with avocado puree and salad) Tostada de Jaiba (lump crabmeat with avocado lime juice served on a crispy housemade tortilla) and Camarones a la Diabla (shrimp in red pepper sauce with white beans and bok choy) The restaurant also offers a vegan menu in an effort to appeal to all kinds of diets detailed attention is paid to the cocktails and in particular its margarita which does not use Triple Sec and features a proprietary organic agave blend "We're all about letting the tequila be the focal point," said Pingle of the high-end spirit they use the restaurant is similar to its southern sister — think an airy contemporary ambiance with dramatic straw lights neutral colors and bright bursts of Mediterranean blue Because the layout is different — about 65 seats downstairs with a bar that sits just beyond the host stand the main dining room has a lively vibe with the upstairs (where there's another bar) More: These Lower Hudson Valley eateries empower and embrace those with special needs It's all a long way from the 30-year marketing career Pingle had at Colgate-Palmolive where he previously had been in the toothpaste business he spent his elementary school years in Port Chester about two miles from the Purchase location His mother graduated from nearby Manhattanville College — she studied there as an adult — and his father worked at Pepsico just around the corner where Pingle spent time at the Sculpture Gardens he replaced — and some would say reinvented — what many in Westchester prior to his opening considered when they thought of Mexican restaurants creating a high-end farm-to-table eatery at a location that previously had been part of the Blue Moon chain As someone who's lived all over the world — he spent time in Mexico as a college student worked there one summer and travelled there "probably 50 times" with business trips — he always loved the food and felt there was a disconnect between the cuisine he'd eat there with what he'd have back home he saw a trend in Manhattan towards more sophisticated Mexican cuisine and thought that concept would work in Bronxville where he lives when he first thought about opening a restaurant wanted to own a local business where he and his son "It was very tough for him to find work opportunities," said Pingel why not create something for him?"
