MAMARONECK - Those weren't baby steps.

A week after suffering a humbling loss, James Fitzgerald calmly delivered a fourth-down touchdown pass to Sam Mehler in the closing minutes Friday, giving Mamaroneck a 21-14 win over forever rival Scarsdale.

The growth of this junior-heavy lineup is measurable now.

A suddenly inspired Tigers defense responded in the moment, too, stopping a last-gasp drive just outside the red zone.

Mamaroneck wide receiver Sam Mehler hauls in a fourth-down James Fitzgerald touchdown pass with 5:53 to go in a 21-14 win over Scarsdale on Friday, Sept. 25 at Mamaroneck High school.

"We had a good week of practice," Fitzgerald said of the response following the loss to Arlington. "Obviously, this is a big game for us. We were back on our turf, ready to go. We wanted this win. We needed this win."

Check back later for more from this game.
