The Cavaliers, from the Katonah school, made their last home game of the season a memorable one, racking up 427 offensive yards and thoroughly dominating the Military Academy Knights on both sides of the ball. Smith, a junior captain, completed eight of 12 passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns.

Smith got the action started early when he tossed a 15-yard pass to his tight end, Javen Stepp-Davis. Smith struck again in the second period on a bootleg pass, finding junior Joe O' Connell of Mahopac wide open in the end-zone, hitting him with a 32-yard touchdown pass.

Harvey also scored on a four-yard run by senior Ricky Hicks following an interception of NYMA’s quarterback. Harvey's final touchdown of the day came on a two-yard run by sophomore Teddy Little on the last play of the third quarter.

The Knights scored their only points after a 44-yard reverse play put the ball on the Harvey two-yard line. They scored on the next play to give the Knights their six points.

The Cavaliers (2-4) will travel to Dwight Englewood on Sunday, Nov. 9, for a Hudson Valley Football League bowl game to decide third place in the conference.

It will be a rematch of the two teams that met in September in a game Harvey lost 21-20 when the Cavaliers opted to try for the win but failed to make the two-point conversion in the final seconds of the game.
