Staten Island HS football: Curtis’ storybook season concludes with nail-biting, double OT victory over Erasmus

It is one thing to win a title.

Overcoming difficulty and succeeding? That’s a very different animal, though, and the 2024 Curtis Warriors can now add it to their long list of accomplishments.

In the Warriors’ 27-26 PSAL 4A division double overtime triumph at Midwood HS field in Brooklyn on Sunday, Curtis overcame a 13-point halftime deficit behind backup quarterback Vincent Canzoneri and a tenacious defense that kept Erasmus Hall scoreless for the final 27:59 of regulation.

In the second overtime, Erasmus Anaiyas King’s game-tying extra-point effort went wide right, sealing the Warriors’ PSAL-best seventh city title. Curtis wins its first championship since upsetting the Dutchmen by a single point (36-35) in the 2017 championship game, and it finishes the season with an outstanding 12-1 overall record.
