First-ever baseball meeting between JFK and RKA is an instant classic, Knights score three in bottom of seventh for walk-off win

By Jason Eisenberg

May 6, 2011 -- The boys’ soccer teams from John F. Kennedy and Riverdale/Kingsbridge Academy have engaged in some of the most tense and exciting games of the fall season for several years running, but up to this point, that has been the extent of the sports rivalry between these two local high schools.

However, that officially changed earlier this week, as the JFK Knights and RKA Tigers met in a regular season baseball game for the first time, and what took place on the diamond proved to be more than worth the wait. In fact, from here on out, it will be hard-pressed for any contest to top this one as the game of the spring season. (Read More)

Kennedy tunes up for baseball playoffs by pummeling RKA, loss leaves Tigers one win short of postseason spot

By Jason Eisenberg

May 24, 2011 -- Three weeks ago, the Riverdale/Kingsbridge Academy baseball team was in the process of losing its fifth straight game, floundering with a 2-7 overall record and any dreams of a playoff berth were clearly on life support. However, as it turned out, RKA was not dead yet.

The Tigers would win four straight -- and five out of six -- to take control of their own playoff destiny heading in to last Sunday’s regular season finale against local rival John F. Kennedy. A victory would give RKA the necessary .500 record and third place finish in the Bronx “A” West Division that automatically books a spot in the city tournament, while on the other hand, a loss would put them back on the bubble.

Major upset opportunity slips away from RKA in late innings, playoff loss marks end of an era for Lady Tigers softball

By Jason Eisenberg

May 26, 2011 -- For the past decade, as dozens of players came and went, there was one constant in the dugout for the Riverdale/Kingsbridge Academy softball team.

Head coach Bob Finz personally created the Lady Tigers, helped transform them from being a developmental program to a dominant force at the PSAL’s “B” Division, was still there on the sideline when his team earned its promotion to the “A” league three years ago and has since seen them consistently prove capable of competing with the biggest and best schools in New York City.
