BRADFORD, Pa. \u2014 Just before the opening kickoff of the 52nd annual Big 30 All-Star Charities Classic on Saturday night, New York head coach Chad Bartoszek looked out at Parkway Field and said to no one in particular:<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a while. Let\u2019s play some football.\u201d<\/p>\n
Boy, did the young men from the Empire State do just that.<\/p>\n
Maddox Isaac (Salamanca) ran for one score and threw for two more \u2014 one to Bretton Blecha (Franklinville) from 49 yards and the other a 37-yard strike to Connor Braley (Randolph) on the final play of the first half \u2014 to highlight New York\u2019s 56-0 victory over Pennsylvania before a packed house at Bradford High School.<\/p>\n
Isaac Towne (Franklinville) added two rushing TDs; Braley and Domanik Clark (Randolph) also ran for touchdowns; and Logan Fleischman (Pioneer) booted a 35-yard field goal to help send the young men from north of the border to their second straight victory in the longstanding rivalry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal was to be sound and disciplined,\u201d said Bartoszek, who guided Salamanca to the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class C title game last December. \u201d \u2026 But we were not producing during practice. Now I kind of know why, because our defense was just fantastic. \u2026 I was a little skeptical coming in. \u2026 The formula is there. You still need to run the ball, you still need to formation. Man, it helps when you can go up top to kids like Blecha, Cory (Holleran of Salamanca), and that wheel route (to Braley). It\u2019s fun for the fans to have a game like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pennsylvania\u2019s best scoring opportunity came in the first half when it drove to New York\u2019s 21-yard line, but a fumbled snap on fourth-and-1 turned the ball over on downs. Six plays later, Isaac scored on a 2-yard keeper. Armed with a 14-0 lead inside the final minute of the first quarter, New York was in complete control.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s still calm, still collected, still makes the big throws,\u201d Bartoszek said of Isaac. \u201cI love seeing him have fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
By halftime, New York\u2019s advantage grew to 36-0, leaving little doubt about the game\u2019s outcome.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen football is played at that level, it\u2019s just a beautiful thing,\u201d Bartoszek said.<\/p>\n

New York now has a two-game winning streak. In 2024, it defeated Pennsylvania 39-18 for its first victory since 2015. <\/p>\n
In the end, however, the final score isn\u2019t what matters most, according to Brian South, president of the Big 30 All-Star Charities Classic.<\/p>\n
\u201cEach year, this event represents far more than just football,\u201d he said in his welcome message found in the game program. \u201cIt is a celebration of hard work, dedication, and the incredible spirit of our communities. Tonight, we proudly recognize the players, cheerleaders, band members, queens and coaches who have devoted countless hours to earn their place in this tradition. Their commitment and teamwork embody the very best of our region.\u201d<\/p>\n
NOTES: New York had two potential first-half scoring drives end with turnovers. Pennsylvania recovered fumbles at its 28-yard line in the first quarter and at its 6-yard line in the second period. \u2026 New York was credited with a safety when quarterback Colby Barr (Sheffield) \u2014 under heavy pressure \u2014 stepped out of the back of the end zone in the third quarter. \u2026 Fleischman made all four of his point-after kicks, while Gavin Straub (Allegany-Limestone) made his lone attempt. \u2026 Kyle Lecceardone (Salamanca) caught a 2-point conversion pass from Holleran.<\/p>\n
