RHS Graduate Finishes Successful Football Season at Union College

Connor Eck, a RHS 2011 graduate, has completed another successful season with his college football team.

Thanks to the Union College Athletic Department for submitting this information:

Connor Eck, a local product of Rye, NY, recently completed his second season with the Union College football team. During his first year as the starting quarterback, Connor played in all 10 games for the Dutchmen, recording 1,914 passing yards, 591 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns (17 passing, 4 rushing). Eck was the motor of the Union offense this fall and there are high hopes for his next two years with the team. He was named Honorable Mention for the Liberty League All-Star team.

Overall, the Dutchmen finished 6-4 under coach John Audino and won 6 out of their last 7 games to finish in second place in the Liberty League. The season culminated with a thrilling overtime victory against long time rival RPI in the 'Dutchmen Shoes' game. Eck threw the game winning touchdown pass on 4th and 16 to his favorite target, Kyle Reynolds.

A. Who the heck is "Sam Gentile"? Is "he" qualified to make the kind of postsRead More he's been making? Does he have an undisclosed financial interest in what he's posting? This sure looks like an [unidentified as such] sales promotion for Staples. B. On what basis does "he" assert that Rye Teachers are paying out of their own pockets for school expenses? I'm sure some are, but is it reasonable to base such a broadbrush / dramatic statement based on a nation-wide survey the source of which isn't even specified in the post? Was the survey perhaps assembled by Staples or some other business?
