Syosset Football 2013 Schedule
Sixth-seeded Braves try to improve upon 2012 run to Nassau Conference I quarterfinals.
The Syosset football schedule is out.
The Braves bounced back from a dismal 2011 to earn a playoff berth a year ago.
Now consider how the Braves did it: After back-to-back 40-point losses to open the season, veteran Coach Paul Rorke and his team reeled off four wins over the next five weeks.

The Braves finished the regular season 4-4 and with the No. 7 seed in the Nassau Conference I playoffs. Oceanside, which shut out Syosset during the regular season, needed a career day from its quarterback to hold off the Braves, 49-24, in a quarterfinal win.
How will Syosset, the No. 6 seed, fare in 2013? Road dates with defending county champ Farmingdale and semifinalist Massapequa should pose a challenge. But a home meeting with Oceanside sans graduated quarterback Tom Capone could set the scene for payback.

A repeat of 2012’s four-win is within reach. Yet a little luck and lighting-in-a-bottle magic could propel the Braves further. See the schedule:
