The Croton Harmon Tigers play regular season league champion the Dobbs Ferry Eagles in a Class C quarterfinal playoff tomorrow, October 22, 2005 at 2 PM at Gould Park, Ashford Avenue, Dobbs Ferry. Please come out and catch the game if your schedule permits!

Game Preview: The Eagles (6-0), the defending state champions, defeated the Tigers (1-5) in the season opener 49-0. Dobbs, which features a very balanced team, will bring in a defense that has given up just 27 points with 2 shutouts, and an offense that averages 265 yards rushing per game.

The Tigers, who have improved consistently throughout the season, bring league leading passer senior Eric Berger and league leading receiver junior Ben Feldman along with a defense that is anchored by league co-sack leader senior Sal Alesi. The Tigers have averaged a very respectable 212 yards total offense per game this season.

Run Against Hunger Race Results

October 18, 2005

The 25th Annual Harry Chapin Memorial Run Against Hunger was held this past Sunday, October 16, 2005 from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM. This year, 272 runners registered in the 10K race and 600 runners, walkers and strollers participated in the one-mile Fun Run (view slideshow).

And while the books aren't closed yet, event organizers hope to make another significant donation for hunger relief efforts. Much credit is also due to the efforts of the legendary Sammy Columbo for bringing in thousands alone! Last year, which was a combined double bill, including the race and a concert at Tarrytown Music Hall hosted by the entire Chapin Family, resulted in a total of over $26,000 for the fight against hunger.

This year's 10K race included 98 Croton-on-Hudson runners, who made up 41% of the total field of 237 racers. The average age of the 10K runners was 39 years-old, and as a group they averaged a finishing time of 00:56:59. A listing of Croton's top-ten 10K finishers follow as do the Fun Run award winners and the complete results from the 10K race.

County Issues Interim Permit to Village for Croton Point Ballfields

August 24, 2005

Recently, Westchester County funded an extensive renovation to the ballfields (slideshow) on the left-hand side of the road entering Croton Point Park. Subsequently, the County asked the Village of Croton-on-Hudson to enter into an intermunicipal agreement to manage both the baseball and football/soccer fields for the Fall season.

At the last regular Village Board meeting, held on August 15, 2005, a resolution was passed authorizing the Village to get a special permit from the County to manage and schedule all activites on the new fields from September to November of this year. Also included in the resolution was a provision allowing the Village to consider entering into another intermunicipal agreement with the County to manage the fields on a more permanent basis in the future.

During the meeting, Village Manager Richard Herbek, added that the Croton Harmon School District will agree to share 50% of management costs for use of the fields and that Susan Menz, superintendent of the Recreation and Parks Department will oversee those management responsibilities. Mr. Herbek also noted that both AYSO and Croton Little League have expressed interest in using the fields and that he felt the permit agreement would serve as a “community benefit”.

The Recreation and Parks Department is available to both residents and non-residents of Croton to schedule use determine said permit fees by calling 914-271-3006.
