Commack Football Tops Ward Melville in Comeback Win

Cougars improve to 2-2 on the season with 17-14 win on the road.

According to head coach Joe Reggio, everyone had picked the Commack football team to lose on Saturday. Everyone except the team members themselves, he said.

Commack came back from a 14-point deficit to beat previously undefeated Ward Melville 17-14 on Saturday.

Commack got its first points on a safety from Kevan Scott with 5:22 left in the third quarter. Down 14-2, quarterback Ryan Heizman found Andrew Caccamo for a 25-yard touchdown pass with 9:01 left in the game, and when the kick was good, Commack trailed by just 5 points. Heizman's 1-yard sneak put the Cougars up 15-14 with 3:11 left to play, followed by a two-point conversion by Matt Greschuk.
