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.
What makes us the city champions? “Nobody saw it coming, but this group’s heart and soul has been everything,” stated head coach Peter Gambardella, who led the Warriors to their fourth city title in their 17 seasons in charge. We presented them with challenges. Our training was different. What made the difference was that we pursued it and were active right away.
We restored physicality to Curtis.
