Aug. 26, 2012: New York, by the numbers (page 3)

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

92.3

   Percentage of boys state lacrosse championships won by Sections 3, 8 or 11 since the NYSPHSAA went to a three-class format in 2000. Penn Yan (2001), Yorktown ('03) and Canandaigua ('09) have been the exceptons.

99

   Number of days until the start of the school year's first NYSPHSAA championship -- girls tennis at Tri City Tennis Center in Latham.

100

   Winning percentage for Section 3 boys lacrosse teams against Section 10 in 21 all-time matchups in the NYSPHSAA playoffs.

104

   BEDS number for Fort Edward, now the smallest football-playing member (not counting combined programs) in Class D of the NYSPHSAA following the closing of Geneva DeSales this summer. Class A Bishop Maginn is the smallest overall, however.

123.34

   Time, in seconds, clocked by Bronxville sensation Mary Cain en route to winning the girls' 800 meters at the Loucks Games last spring. Her 2:03.34 puts Cain within reasonable reach of Kim Gallagher's U.S. record of 2:00.07 for Fort Washington, Pa., Upper Dublin in 1982 -- or perhaps even a sub-two.

139

   Combined points scored last Nov. 27 as Sayville beat Lawrence 78-61 for the Long Island Class III championship in arguably the most entertaining football game in New York high school history.

212.4

   Yards per game a running back would need to average over a four-year career to match Onondaga legend Mike Hart's record of 11,045 -- assuming his team played 13-game seasons every year.

241

   Days until the 2013 Penn Relays at Franklin Field.

301

   Length of the national-record -- and still-active -- winning streak for the Fayetteville-Manlius girls in tennis. Had it not been for a loss to end the 1992 season and one to open 1993, the Hornets' streak would stand at 396 since 1984.

302

   Quinton Murphy's final win total, a New York scholastic record, after capping his senior year on the wrestling mat for Holley with a 59-0 record and fourth state crown in Albany.

330

   Consecutive matches won by City Hornors in the city girls volleyball league in Buffalo. The Centaurs, winners of five state championships, saw their streak of 867 straight league sets snapped last season by Hutch-Tech -- the first time since Nov. 7, 1984 they failed to sweep a league opponent.

554

   Points for New York boys lacrosse career scoring leader Zed Williams of Silver Creek. With one season to go, he

has already ecliped the record by Casey Powell that stood for 18 years.

757

   Mike Messere's national-record career victories total with the West Genesee boys lacrosse team.

953

   Career basketball victories for iconic Archbishop Molloy coach Jack Curran.

1148

   Career baseball coaching victories for Molloy's Jack Curran.

1790

   The number of combined victories Shenendehowa lost to retirement with the departure of four coaches -- Mike Campisi (boys soccer, 534), Jim Carrese (baseball, 349), Brent Steuerwald (football, 318) and Ken Strube (girls basketball, 589) -- after the 2011-12 school year.

1985

   The last year a male runner (John Trautman, Monroe-Woodbury) earned consecutive NYSPHSAA boys cross country titles in the large-school class. Nick Ryan of Fayetteville-Manlius will be bidding to match that accomplishment this fall.

1987

   The year Pearl River last won the girls Federation cross country championship. No school outside Sections 2 or 3 has won since.

2060

   Career points for Ossining star Saniya Chong as the guard enters her senior basketball season.

4027

   BEDS enrollment number for Brentwood. The Section 11 school's classification makes it the largest NYSPHSAA member in New York. New Rochelle is second at 2663 for grades 9-11.

5282

   Grades 9-12 enrollment for Brooklyn Tech in the PSAL.
