Victor DiFusco

Mahopac High School,

Class of 2011

Mahopac High junior Victor DiFusco may look like a mild-mannered, civic-minded citizen and truth be told; he is just that. But put him on the gridiron and a different man emerges. On the gridiron, this cool, calm and otherwise collected sort becomes a brutally, competitive individual with one goal in mind; to be the best football player on the field and play at the next level.

Rule of Recruiting #1: If you fail to plan, you're planning to fail.

I'm asked all the time by parents, coaches and athletes alike, "do you think Johnny is a Division 1 prospect".

What do I want to do when I grow up...?

By Michael Bucci

This is a rudimentary post towards applying to college.  In other words, there are no answers in this post...only good questions, which Socrates would argue is better than posting facts...that's assuming Socrates would blog.

I promised I'd help you develop a roadmap to start your recruiting process, so, hold on tight...and mom, grab the tissues, this is going to be rough.

Whether you think you can, or think you can't...you're probably right.  I don't remember who said that first, but, they were onto something. 

It's Sept. 2000, I'm the captain of the Pace Lacrosse Team...receiving grants, transfer incentives, academic scholarships...and a debit card for my cafeteria that allegedly WORKS at McDonalds too...life is good.

"Let me tell you a story about a guy named Mike Russo" Memories of the Ultimate Coach, Ted Georgalas

by Michael Bucci,

"Get on the ball" was the last thing I heard before my legs went weak and the only thing resonating in my head was this man's voice echoing off of the concrete walls of FDR's Field.  I'd missed an assignment, leading to a tackle in the backfield...that could've injured my teammate.

Best Three-Sport Studs in Mahopac History: Foley's in the Discussion

by Ray Gallagher, GetU Prep Rep

Mahopac High has had a pretty sick history on the Section 1 (NYS) sports scene... so much so that it clearly has a the reputation as  Putnam County's premier athletic program and one of the top three overall in Section 1 the past 25 years. It's Athletic Department, stoked by current A.D. Frank Miele and former A.D. Gerry Keevins, gets a lot of credit and rightfully so, but a rich history of three sport standouts is more likely the reason.

I say that because I got one fresh in my head who makes a world of difference to every team he's played on: This T.J. Foley kid.
