Hundreds of fans showed up for Rocky Point’s homecoming game this weekend looking for a show — and they got one in the form of an old-school defensive clinic by the Eagles football team.
The Eagles defeated Harborfields 14-0, improving their record to 3-1 on the young 2025 season.
Rocky Point’s defense has been stout all year, and on homecoming, in front of their loyal fans, they turned in their best performance yet. The Eagles had held every opponent this season to 21 points or fewer, with their only loss coming against the lone team to score more than two touchdowns on them. On homecoming, they raised the bar even higher, completely shutting down the Harborfields offense.
The entire defense deserves credit for the impressive win, but several players stood out. John Nadeau intercepted a pass just before halftime to preserve the Eagles’ 7-0 lead heading into the locker room, while Cristian Cordova came up with a key fumble recovery. Both DJ Xavier and Jack Krilovitch recorded sacks, applying steady pressure throughout the game. Brogan Casper may have been the defensive player of the game, forcing a strip sack and batting down multiple passes at the line, as the Eagles line play played a pivotal role on the day.
Casper also made an impact on offense, hauling in a deep touchdown pass from quarterback Peyton Reisinger, who threw for two scores on the day. Reisinger’s other touchdown went to Ryan Espinal on a 50-yard strike that gave the Eagles some breathing room in the second half.
It was a complete effort from Rocky Point, with a defense that set the tone and an offense that capitalized when it mattered most.
The Eagles will look to carry that same defensive intensity into next week’s matchup when they travel to face West Islip.
