Leading off today: Arlington dropped a 1-0 boys soccer game to Beacon yesterday hours after the Admirals, ranked second in Class AA this week by the NYSSWA, forfeited their first four games of the season.

   First-year Arlington head coach Craig Sanborn told Hudson Valley Sports Report the forfeits stemmed from the school discovering that one of its players was taking fewer than the state-mandated three academic courses (and four overall if including physical education) this fall.

   "He is academically eligible; that is not the issue," Sanborn said. "He is also eligible to play because we have now met the practice minimum for that player."

   Though Arlington began practice on Aug. 23, the unidentified player's practices while taking the inadequate course load should not have counted, making him ineligible.

   "Once we realized what had happened, we had to go back to square one in terms of getting in enough practices for him,” Sanborn said. That wiped out wins Sept. 8-20 vs. Valley Central, Somers JFK, Lakeland and Yorktown.

   Penfield reaches milestone: Penfield's 1-0 victory over Victor was No. 800 in the 70-year history of the school's boys soccer program.

   Matt Kanzler scored the goal for the Patriots, ranked sixth in Class AA.

   Only five other programs in the United State have reached the 800-win mark according to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

"The safety of our students is always a concern, on or off our campus, and the district has no problem accommodating their suggestion."
