St. Anthony’s quarterback Greg Campisi has lit up the CHSFL all season. He’ll need to do it one more time for the Friars to capture first place in the AAA regular season and earn the top seed in the playoffs.
The Friars host Iona Prep, which is also 4-0 in the division, at 7 p.m. in South Huntington. At stake is a first-round bye in the CHSFL’s AAA playoffs.
"The winner of this game wins the top seed but sits a week while the other six teams playoff for a spot in the semifinal round,” St. Anthony’s coach Rich Reichert, in his 32nd year, said. “I’m not a fan of the bye. Players can lose their focus waiting around.”
St. Anthony’s (5-1 overall) which has allowed 26 points per game will be hard-pressed to stop Iona QB Derek Robertson, who has the Gaels scoring 44 points per game.
“He’s a special athlete,” Reichert said. “Obviously, our defense needs to play very well.”
It may come down to the play of the quarterbacks and who has the final possession. Campisi is having a monster season, with 1,511 yards passing and another 670 rushing. He also has 26 total TDs.
