Colin Cubberly among 23 locals named to NYSSWA all-state football teams

As the New York State Sportswriters Association revealed its football all-state selections this week, 23 local standouts were recognized in the large- and small-school categories, including three first-team selections.

Colin Cubberly adds yet another honor to what’s already a loaded list of accolades. The former Arlington High School offensive lineman was named to the Class AA first team. Haldane linebacker Evan Giachinta was a first-team selection in Class D and Pawling quarterback Brett Clowry made the first team among eight-man football players.

Cubberly was a four-time Journal All-Star who anchored a dominant line that fueled an explosive offense that led Arlington to 10 straight wins on the way to the Section 1 Class AA final. A heavily recruited prospect, the 6-foot-6, 305-pound right tackle graduated high school early and will begin his career with the University of Wisconsin football team this spring.

Giachinta shined as a game-breaking running back and a big-play linebacker, leading Haldane to the Class D state semifinal. He totaled 1,501 yards and 16 touchdowns, helping the Blue Devils win their first Section 1 title since 2018, and was voted the section’s Class C/D Player of the Year. Giachinta was also a coveted lacrosse star and he is committed to High Point for that sport.
