Half Hollow Hills West has advanced in the Suffolk County playoffs with a big win over Islip.

Hills West won 55-27 in an offensive display that will go down in the history books. Not only did Hills West put up 55 points in a playoff game but Joseph Filardi put up a bunch of 5's of his own.

Filardi had 555 yards on the day and a simply unbelievable eight TDs in the win. He was a dual threat rushing for over 350 yards on the ground on just 14 carries and four TD runs. He wasn't done there though as he also added another 200 yards through the air, while passing for four more touchdowns.

It was one of the best individual days you'll ever see on a football field at any level and his coach called him the best player in the state after the performance.

Filardi's dynamic year has the eye popping stats to match his legacy. He has over 1,000 yards and 12 TDs running this year and a nominee for player of the year also has 2,700 air yards to go along with 38 passing touchdowns.

What's even more remarkable is the game was tied at 20 with about 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter before the offensive explosion.

Hills West will now take on undefeated, and top seeded Sayville this weekend in the Suffolk III championship at Stony Brook. Sayville knocked off Hills West earlier this season 28-21.
