For both Haverstraw legislators – Grant and Hood, the teams’ experiences were personal. Legislator Grant’s daughter played on three Haverstraw teams that competed in the New York State championships, while one of Legislator Hood’s sons played in the league this year, as he did in his youth.

“The connections to Haverstraw Little League are so strong for me, growing up in Haverstraw and playing in the league,” Legislator Hood said. “I was definitely not an all-star. It was so impressive to see your skills on the field and how far both teams went. It’s hard to put into words how proud we are of you.”

Coach Gizzi has been an unwavering force within the North Rockland Football program for 14 years, beginning his journey at the modified level and steadily rising to become a key leader on the Varsity Coaching Staff. His extraordinary dedication, unmatched work ethic, and selfless spirit have made an indelible impact on the football program, culminating in their first Section 1 Championship in over a decade.
In his third year as Defensive Coordinator, Coach Gizzi’s defensive strategies have set a new standard, holding opponents to just 12.3 points per game and an average of 66 passing yards. His defense delivered an incredible 15 turnovers and 12 sacks this season, shutting out three playoff opponents and holding others to only 3.5 points per game in the postseason.
Coach Gizzi’s impact goes beyond the stats; he is a mentor, a motivator, and a model of what it means to lead with heart. Whether on the field or during the offseason, he inspires our players to achieve greatness both athletically and academically. His leadership has transformed the #NRockAthletics football program into one of the best in the state, and his influence will be felt for years to come.
