The [[baseball]] team had won league titles in 1972, 2000 and 2001. In 2007 the team won the Class A title. The team followed up with another Sectional title in 2008. In 2009 they won the Section 1 Class A crown.


In 2007 Rob Sanzillo, a Somers High School graduate (class of 2003), was drafted in by the St. Louis Cardinals.<ref name="sanzillo">{{cite web |url=http://stlcardinals.scout.com/a.z?s=321&p=8&c=1&nid=3199357 |title=Rob Sanzillo Profile |access-date=2009-03-23}}</ref>
The Baseball team had won only one league title in 1972 until 2000 when the school won its second league title and eventually losing 2-1 to Harrison in the Section 1 Class B Semi-Finals. After 2000 the baseball team fell on hard times until the spring of 2007 when it won its first Section 1 title with a walk-off home run by senior Mike Levine in the bottom of the 7th inning in the Class A title game. The team followed up with another Sectional title in 2008 but both season would end in the fist round of the NY State Class A playoffs.


===Football===

Despite being a respected program during the 20th Century, Somers had never won a Section championship. That unfortunate streak came to an end when Somers hired eventual longtime coach Tony DeMatteo in 2000, following his successful career as the head coach of Roosevelt High School (Yonkers, NY) where he won the Class AA State Championship in 1996.<ref>{{Cite web |title= |url=https://www.yonkersny.gov/government/departments/parks-recreation-conservation/about-us/sports-hall-of-fame/1997-anthony-dematteo-football}}</ref> Somers won their first Section championship in 2000 during Coach DeMatteo's first season; a season that featured eventual Somers football coaching hire Anthony DeMatteo as a sophomore.<ref>{{Cite news |title= FOR THE RECORD; A Coach Transfers and Resumes Winning|work=The New York Times |date=22 October 2000 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/10/22/nyregion/for-the-record-a-coach-transfers-and-resumes-winning.html |last1=Slater |first1=Chuck }}</ref> <ref>{{Cite web |title= Football: Anthony DeMatteo takes over for his dad at Somers|url=https://www.lohud.com/story/sports/high-school/varsity-insider/2021/05/26/anthony-dematteo-somers-football-coach-replaces-father-tony/7446805002/}}</ref>


Somers would wait 12 years for their next Section championship victory, which came at home against Sleepy Hollow in a 42-13 win, following the impact of [[Hurricane Sandy]].<ref>{{Cite web |title= Cornwall eager to finally play state quarterfinal|url=https://www.recordonline.com/story/sports/high-school/football/2012/11/12/cornwall-eager-to-finally-play/49282488007/}}</ref> Somers would not have to wait long for their next Section championship, as they avenged their regular season loss to Rye High School, who were undefeated coming into the championship game, to win the 2013 Section championship by a score of 20-7.<ref>{{Cite web |title= Somers Downs Rye for Second Straight Sectional Football Title|date=9 November 2013 |url=https://dailyvoice.com/new-york/somers/sports/somers-downs-rye-for-second-straight-sectional-football-title/414160/}}</ref> During the season, Coach DeMatteo surpassed the 300-win milestone as a head coach.<ref>{{Cite web |title= Westchester Sports: Events and Moments in Sports History in Westchester County| date=17 May 2013 |url=https://westchestermagazine.com/life-style/westchester-sports-events-and-moments-in-sports-history-in-westchester-county/#:~:text=On%20October%2025%2C%202012%2C%20Tony,York%20State%20Section%201%20football.}}</ref>
The team's best year came in 2000 when they won their only Section 1 title, defeating Nanuet 30-9 in the Class B title game. Somers ended up being ranked 2nd in Class B with a 9-0 record through the section title game outscoring opponents 348-72. They were however upset by unranked Rondout Valley of Section 9 28-14 in the NY State Quarter-Finals.


Despite success in Section 1 play, Somers had struggled to translate it into victories in the state playoffs. However, the 2016 season proved to be different when Somers began the quest for their first state championship with a victory over Yorktown High School, who had been undefeated entering the contest and had beaten Somers earlier in the season, in the Section championship by the score of 42-6.<ref>{{Cite web |title= Somers crushes Yorktown to win the Class a football championship|url=https://www.lohud.com/picture-gallery/sports/high-school/football/2016/11/05/somers-crushes-yorktown-to-win-the-class-a-football-championship/93370422/}}</ref> Somers then dispatched state playoff rival Cornwall High School, who had previously beaten Somers in the 2012 and 2013 Regional State Playoffs, by a score of 28-7 to win Somers' first Regional championship.<ref>{{Cite web |title= Photos: Somers football wins state regional semifinal|url=https://www.lohud.com/picture-gallery/sports/2016/11/12/photos-somers-football-wins-state-regional-semifinal/93743198/}}</ref> Somers made their first state championship game appearance when they traveled to Syracuse University at the Carrier Dome for a faceoff against then-undefeated Greece Athena High School from Rochester, NY.

== Controversy ==
Somers is also well known for its Wrestling program, which consistently produces individual and team Section Championships as well as placing wrestlers in the states.
In 2022, Somers School District Superintendent Dr. Raymond Blanch removed an English teacher from the classroom mid-lesson after parents of those students reported being upset at the content she presented as part of an optional activity on racial identity using excerpts from ''Me and White Supremacy'' by Layla Saad.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-11-04 |title=Controversy brewing at Westchester school district over assignment based on book addressing racism |url=https://abc7ny.com/controversy-race-somers-high-school-english/12417922/ |access-date=2022-11-11 |website=ABC7 New York |language=en}}</ref> On November 10, 2022, the Somers Central School District issued a letter from Blanch in which he admitted "The English Department was not specifically prohibited from using this text after it had been removed from the summer reading list in June 2021."<ref>{{Cite web |title=White Privilege Lesson Pulled Following Backlash |url=https://www.tapinto.net/towns/somers/sections/education/articles/white-privilege-lesson-pulled-following-backlash |access-date=2022-11-12 |website=TAPinto |language=en}}</ref>

== Turf Field Controversy ==
During the winter of 2006, a bond from the state was approved that would allow for an addition to be made to each school in the district, as well as a complete renovation of the baseball field, and the installation of a brand new field-turf field for the football team. The football field was promised to be completed for the beginning of the 2006 football season.

The only problem was that the school did not begin construction on the field until after senior graduation at the end of June. The field subsequently was not finished until after the football season was over forcing the team to play their home games at neighboring John Jay and Yorktown High Schools.

For the 2006–2007 school year Somers had a graduation rate of 100% with 97% receiving a regents diploma and 61% receiving a regents diploma with advanced designation. Of graduating students: 77% enrolled in a 4-year college, 18% enrolled in a 2-year college, 5% became employed full-time, and less than 1% joined the military.[3]

Athletics

[edit]

Somers High School's mascot is an elephant, and teams' nickname is the Tuskers, both in honor of the town being known for hosting the first American circus.

Baseball

[edit]

The baseball team had won league titles in 1972, 2000 and 2001. In 2007 the team won the Class A title. The team followed up with another Sectional title in 2008. In 2009 they won the Section 1 Class A crown.

In 2007 Rob Sanzillo, a Somers High School graduate (class of 2003), was drafted in by the St. Louis Cardinals.[5]

Football

[edit]

Despite being a respected program during the 20th Century, Somers had never won a Section championship. That unfortunate streak came to an end when Somers hired eventual longtime coach Tony DeMatteo in 2000, following his successful career as the head coach of Roosevelt High School (Yonkers, NY) where he won the Class AA State Championship in 1996.[6] Somers won their first Section championship in 2000 during Coach DeMatteo's first season; a season that featured eventual Somers football coaching hire Anthony DeMatteo as a sophomore.[7] [8]

Somers would wait 12 years for their next Section championship victory, which came at home against Sleepy Hollow in a 42-13 win, following the impact of Hurricane Sandy.[9] Somers would not have to wait long for their next Section championship, as they avenged their regular season loss to Rye High School, who were undefeated coming into the championship game, to win the 2013 Section championship by a score of 20-7.[10] During the season, Coach DeMatteo surpassed the 300-win milestone as a head coach.[11]

Despite success in Section 1 play, Somers had struggled to translate it into victories in the state playoffs. However, the 2016 season proved to be different when Somers began the quest for their first state championship with a victory over Yorktown High School, who had been undefeated entering the contest and had beaten Somers earlier in the season, in the Section championship by the score of 42-6.[12] Somers then dispatched state playoff rival Cornwall High School, who had previously beaten Somers in the 2012 and 2013 Regional State Playoffs, by a score of 28-7 to win Somers' first Regional championship.[13] Somers made their first state championship game appearance when they traveled to Syracuse University at the Carrier Dome for a faceoff against then-undefeated Greece Athena High School from Rochester, NY. After a back-and-forth game, Somers were victorious by a score of 25–17 to claim their first state title in football.[14] This was also the first season that Somers had a player named as the NY State Player of the Year, senior wide-receiver, and University of Rhode Island football commit Matt Pires.[15]

Somers would win their fifth Section championship in the shortened 2020 season (due to the COVID-19 lockdowns), in which they defeated John Jay Cross River High School, at John Jay's field, by a score of 17-14.[16] There were no state playoffs that year.

In November 2021, The Tuskers won the Section 1 Class A championship. Somers defeated Rye High School 26–23 in the fog bowl at Arlington High School.

The former varsity coach, Tony DeMatteo, has the most victories of any head coach in Section 1 New York State football history and has been named high school football's most motivational coach of all time by the NFL.[17][18] Coach DeMatteo retired in 2021 and left Somers in second for all-time wins by a head football coach in the state of NY.[19]
