The Garnets (8-0) are led by quarterback Andrew Livingston who tossed two second-half touchdown passes to wide receiver Tim DeGraw in a 36-20 comeback win over Yorktown in last week's quarterfinals.

Livingston looks to DeGraw, receiver/running back Shane O'Malley and an improving defense in what should be a win at home.

Tappan Zee (7-1) showed its ability to score quickly and often in last week's 50-14 victory over Sleepy Hollow. The Dutchies depend on a strong running game led by running back Giuseppe Maddalena, quarterback Tommy Morales and fullback Paul Holder.

The winner of this one plays the winner of Friday's Ossining-Somers semifinal game on Saturday, Nov. 9 at Mahopac High School for the Section 1 Class A title.
