Two forfeits, no on-field score
James I. O’Neill is credited with a forfeit win over Poughkeepsie. Rockland Central is credited with a forfeit win over Hoosic Valley. Neither game was played, and KOT845 does not treat those outcomes as points scored on the field.
Red Hook 40, Liberty 0 — Final
Red Hook shut out Liberty 40–0 at Dietz Stadium in Kingston. The final is listed on Red Hook’s MaxPreps schedule. Game Center →
What Saturday changes
Middletown takes a 4-0 start and the Bell to Pine Bush in Week 4. Goshen is also 4-0, but Washingtonville now gives the Gladiators a direct test against the team leading KOT845’s Class A board. Port Jervis has to regroup for a Class B championship rematch at Saugerties, while Red Hook gets Marlboro after its shutout. Saturday settled the trophies; the next slate tests what those results mean.
