Harrison football team has its way with Pearl River in 46-14 romp
By Skip Pearlman
After going three-and-out on their first possession of Saturday’s game, the Huskies of Harrison High put it in high gear and never looked back in a 46-14 whipping of Pearl River in a non-playoff game at Pearl River.
Harrison (3-5) got contributions from several sources.
Senior quarterback Joe Nannariello had a strong night in the air lanes, completing 6-of-7 attempts for 80 yards and a TD. Defensively, Nannariello also had a pair of interceptions from his safety position.
Nick Nelson had two receptions for 42 yards and two TDs, and Mike Salvatore added 11 yards and a two TDs rushing on nine carries. Zach Evans ran nine times for 94 yards and two touchdowns, and Mike Dragone had 114 yards rushing and a score for Harrison, which raced to a 20-0 lead after a quarter and went up 26-0 by halftime.
Huskies coach Dominic Zanot liked the way his players approached the game.
“Emotionally, they were great, after being knocked out of the playoffs,” Zanot said. “In Harrison, you’re judged by how you do against Rye, and how you do in the playoffs. We lost to Rye, and we’re out of the playoffs, so the challenge was to keep motivated, and I was very happy with the intensity level, and the execution. They value playing the game the right way, because they love the game. The kids came to play, and we’re hoping we can end the season on a winning streak.”
The Huskies will play their last game of the fall Thursday at Brewster, at 5 p.m.
