Palmadesso on Yorktown’s NY state title run: ‘We were playing for so much more than ourselves’
Photo by Dave Anderson To say Luke Palmadesso played in a big role in Yorktown’s first New York state championship since 2003 would be, well, a big understatement. The two-time All-America midfielder was dominant in the faceoff X and was named most valuable offensive player in Yorktown’s 10-9 Class B title-game win over Jamesville-DeWitt. It […]
Player’s perspective: Palmadesso hopes to help Yorktown make its 35th straight sectional final
It’s hardly a bold statement to say that Yorktown is one of the leading contenders for the New York Class B state championship in 2014. The Huskers, after all, have made 34 straight Section 1 title-game appearances.

But once he earned it, the rising junior showed there’s a lot more to his game. A two-way midfielder who is strong with either hand, the 5-foot-10, 150-pound Palmadesso […]
Player’s perspective: Rutgers-bound Cooley eyes a big senior year
Yorktown has been a big topic of discussion here of late. For starters, Yorktown completed its 2012 schedule. As usual, it is among the most competitive of any high school team from sea to shining sea.
