Marathon Scarsdale OT Football Win Over Greeley Gets National Attention

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- Scarsdale's  27-21 season-opening varsity football win over host Horace Greeley was an epic, not just because it was decided in overtime, but because it took two days to play.

Scarsdale's 27-21 overtime win over host Greeley took two days to play -- literally.

The game highlighted a busy weekend of Week 1 action in the area.

After a 90-minute delay after the first quarter on Saturday, play was suspended at halftime with Scarsdale on top 15-7.

The second half was played on Sunday and the Raiders prevailed as Giancarlo Cugini bulled his way over the goal line from 5 yards out.

Greeley forced overtime on a touchdown pass and subsequent two-point conversion pass by Cameron Ciero.
