‘Fuel Up to Play 60’ Tackled at Coaches Clinic
Sports nutrition and Fuel Up to Play 60 were
among the topics covered during the New

Among the presentations, coaches heard
from American Dairy Association and Dairy

Dan Liburd, Buffalo Bills Strength and
Conditioning Coach. During his presentation
on February 5, Liburd emphasized the nutrition component of Fuel Up to Play 60, a

awards and other stuff. This is very challenging because
every player that tries out for the team is a very good
player. I have watched a number of tapes and every kid is
impressive. It will be very tough to select the top 50 kids.”
Santini says that Lynch and Hogan were chosen, in
part, due to the winning records the programs have posted in recent years.
“In the past we have chosen the coaches from different
sections around the state,” he said, “and it was their time
to take over. Both of these guys come from good programs and have been very successful. It was a good fit
for both teams.”
Both coaches will have to incorporate strategies while
keeping in mind that all-star games have different rules
than regular high school games.
“A lot of the strategy is governed by the rules for the
game,” Santini said. “No blitzing is allowed. On Extrapoint kicks, there is no rushing the kicker. You can only
rush four men on a punt. You must play a 4-3 defense.”
Hogan says that can be a lot to digest for both coaches
and players.
“We will be able to run six practices over three days,”
he said, “and then we have the game on Sunday. It can
be a lot to take in.”
a great football coach but he just felt it was time to step
away from being the head guy.”
Both Green and Hogan were assistants under longtime
coach Dick Russ who won several Section 4 titles before
there was a NYS tournament.
Hogan says that there are many reasons that
Chenango Forks has been a longtime powerhouse in the
Southern Tier.
“First of all, the community supports the sport,” he said.
“The community supports the high school team all the
way down to the Youth program. The kids are all coachable and work very hard. Football is important to them
and they take it very seriously.”
Continuity in the coaching staff is also a key factor.
“We have had the same coaching staff for 20 years
now,” Hogan said. “Our JV coaches are former players
and the modified coaches are too. So everyone knows
what we are trying to do and what we want to accomplish.
It makes a difference.”
Hogan says he is excited to get involved with a highprofile all-star game.
“It’s definitely a nice opportunity,” he said. “We’ve got
10 coaches on staff for the game and it will be a new
experience for all of us. It will be challenging.”
Like Lynch at North Rockland, Hogan says the most
difficult part of the game will be choosing the team.
“We’ll have our first tryout on May 17th,” he said. “We

“At that time, we couldn’t put a lot of money into a
game of this magnitude,” Santini said, “but we had a
major sponsor who took care of a lot of things for us.
When that sponsor dropped out, we couldn’t continue
the game.”
For Santini, who has been involved with the NYSHSFCA since its inception in 1992, admitting that the
Upstate-Downstate game had to be cancelled was a
huge disappointment.
“It was very disappointing for everybody,” he said.
“This was one of our big things that we were doing for
our kids and we just couldn’t do it anymore. All those
years we had been growing the association and getting
bigger, doing more things and suddenly, we had to take
a step back. It was a very sad situation.”
However, Santini said, the Board members of the
NYSHSFCA never let go of the idea of hosting a bigtime all-star game.
“We all wanted to get the game back,” he said, “but we
needed to get our own finances in order first. Then we
needed to find a sponsor to help us.”
Santini said the NYSHSFCA is on much firmer
ground than it was three years ago.
“We’ve all been
working on this for
two years,” he said.

help.”
As things began to fall into place, it became clear
that the NYSHSFCA would again host a state-wide allstar game.
“I was pretty confidant that it was going to be
played,” Santini said, “but I didn't really get excited until
we actually signed everything.”
Moving the game to a smaller venue like Ithaca

State in May.
Players will be separated by positions (OL-DL; RB-WR;
LB-DB and QB) and will compete in combine-like skills.
“Players with the top 250 scores will be invited to the
Super Combine in Ithaca,” Santini said.
The Super Combine will be held at 9am the morning
of the game. Players at the Super Combine are also
invited to watch the Upstate-Downstate game.
Santini says that, despite all the excitement of getting the Classic back, there have been a few logistical
challenges to overcome.
“We haven’t done this in two years,” Santini said.
“Our last sponsor had provided a number of people to
help with things like the registration in the weeks leading up to the game. We are scrambling to get people to
take up that load of work. All the Board Members have
put a ton of time and effort on this. We’re a little nervous because a lot of these administrative tasks are
new to us.”
So, while there is rampant excitement about the
return of the Upstate-Downstate Classic, Santini does
temper his enthusiasm.
“I’m excited,” he said, “but I still want to wait to see
how successful we are this year.”

already made their decisions on where they are playing
football next year.

What does this list mean?
This list does not mean a single player named will
receive a scholarship to play football. In fact, most of
the kids on this list will not play football at any level never mind earn a football scholarship.
The fact is, New York State had just 32 players earn
scholarships to play football last year.
So, this is not a list of 4- and 5-star recruits.
It is simply a list of players that, right now, are talented enough to be looked at by college coaches... and
nothing more.
This is a guide to help college coaches get started in
requesting film, doing their background checks and
making inquiries about grades on players that might be
able to play for them.

By Mark Adair
In January of 2014, the NYS Football Coaches
Association and I embarked on an ambitious project.
We wanted to publish a “Recruiting Watch List” for
high school players from across New York State.
We hoped to accomplish two things with our list.
First, we want to create some excitement about high
school football in April - create some “buzz”, so to
speak. For almost a century, the “Hot Stove Talk” has
generated excitement about baseball in the dead of
winter. Talk about the
NFL Draft comsumes
fans of the NFL in April.
Campuses across the
country are holding their
spring football games
right now.
We thought that we
could do the same for
high school football.
The second thing we
wanted to accomplish
was to get our kids
names out into the public so that college coaches will take a look at
them.
Let’s be honest... New York State lags far behind
Texas, Florida and Ohio when it comes to getting football scholarships - or even exposure - for our kids.
We thought that if we could just get a “semi-official”
list into the hands of the college coaches, it would help
them in their pursuit of kids that have the talent to play
for them.
Inside this issue, is our second Watch List. We have
listed every high school football player who was nominated to be on the New York Recruiting Watch List.
On this Watch List are the names of more than 1,000
players from more than 200 schools from across the
state. These are kids that college football coaches
should take a look at.
We have broken the list down into geographical sections and broken them down further by school. Kids are
listed by position with their heights, weights and their
Hopefully,
college coaches
will find our
Recruiting Watch List
a help in finding players
from our state.
If my player is not
on the list, does that
mean he’s not good
enough to play college
football?
Not necessarily.
It means that right
now, he is not being
recruited. But, some kids
grow an incredible
amount between their
freshman and sophomore years. Kids can
start hitting the weight room. Kids can start working
hard at camps. Some kids, who are less than impressive as sophomores, surprise everyone during their
junior season and become stand outs.
The best advice a player could get is... if you are not
on the list this year, work hard so you can be on the list
next year.
How did we go about getting the information?
An email was sent to every high school football
coach in the state. The email was followed-up with a
phone call. After the phone call, a second email was
sent.
(If your school is not listed, it’s because we received
no reply to our inquries from the coach.)
We have listed every nominated player from 8th
grade to the 11th grade. Hopefully, college coaches will
find our Recruiting Watch List a help in finding players
from our state.
