Bellport came out ready to make a statement. On just the second play from scrimmage, Braydon Cipp sliced through the defense for a 57-yard touchdown, and for a second, it looked like momentum was swinging the Clippers’ way. But Geovonne Henderson wasn’t having it.
On the ensuing kickoff, the Huntington playmaker took it 95 yards to the house, instantly flipping the energy and reminding everyone that the Blue Devils weren’t backing down. That return lit the spark Huntington needed — and from there, Jack Kamenstein took over.
The senior wideout showed what leadership and mental toughness look like. After an early drop that could’ve shifted the game, he came back with focus and fire. A few plays later, he made a contested slant grab in traffic, then followed it up with a 23-yard touchdown over a defender in the back of the end zone. From that point forward, Kamenstein was unstoppable.
Every time quarterback Jacob Guzik looked his way, Jack delivered — finishing with 8 receptions, 131 yards, and 2 touchdowns. He made the tough catches, moved the chains, and set the tone for how a veteran responds when the pressure’s on. His chemistry with Guzik kept Bellport’s defense guessing all night, as the Blue Devils found their rhythm and never let up.
Kamenstein’s performance helped lead Huntington to a 42-21 victory, improving their record to 5-2 and building serious momentum heading into the postseason. From Henderson’s electric kickoff return to Kamenstein’s dominant night through the air, this was the definition of a team win — but Jack’s bounce-back and big-play presence made him the clear Beast of the Week.
He didn’t just catch passes — he set a standard for how to respond, lead, and finish.
“I think we showed we are capable of playing championship caliber football vs a tough physical and well coached Bellport team” said Huntington blue devils assistant coach Malcom Eugene.
