Golf Gazette/Jay Dempsey: Champions crowned across North Fork
It’s the time of year when shadows are longer, sunlight is more golden, cicadas serenade us from dawn to dusk. And throw in a hurricane for good measure.

Girls Soccer: Wildcats fall 1-0 on penalty kick
On most days, Mattituck coach Ed Barbante would have immediately called for his returning All-County midfielder Liz Lasota on a penalty kick. Sidelined with a pulled muscle, Lasota — who had five goals through the team's first three games — was on the bench in street clothes when a penalty kick...

Extra Point: In a surprising twist, second half was all Longwood
Sure, the Lions had been here before. At halftime of a game against William Floyd, the game very much up for grabs. But all too often, once the second half began, that's when the game would begin to slip away for Longwood. A mistake here, miscue there and the Colonials would...

Football: Longwood’s defense stifles Floyd in 14-12 win
Corry Wallace ripped off his helmet and hurled it toward the sky. He jumped into the arms of teammate Kevin Parker, a feeling of joy rushing over him unlike anything he's experienced in his career. He thought back to his brother, Mike Parrish, a former Longwood football player from 2007 and...

Football: Porters run into defensive wall in Shoreham
Last year, during a dreadful 0-8 high school football season, the Shoreham-Wading River Wildcats received quite a bit of criticism. They were shut out four times and managed a less-than-grand total of four touchdowns and 30 points the entire season. At times the scoreboard was turned off at halftime of...

Football: Rocky Point falls big at Westhampton
The Rocky Point Eagles came into the 2011 season looking for a fresh start. With a new spread, no huddle offense catered toward the team's playmakers like quarterback Joe Kingston, the Eagles hoped it would lead to a more a dynamic offense that can strike big on any play. Two games...

Girls Cross-Country: Wildcats take second in Peconic Invitational team scoring
To many high school cross-country runners and coaches, the first race of the season is an eye-opener, giving them an idea of what to expect for the season. For Audrey Kelly, though, every race is a fact-finding mission. “I like to think of every race as a scientific experiment, so I...

Boys Cross-Country: Purdy’s victory leads SWR triumph in Peconic Invitational
With his high school boys cross-country team largely unfamiliar with the 3.1-mile course at Red Creek Park in Hampton Bays, Shoreham-Wading River Coach Bob Szymanski was more than a little concerned. He was fearful that one of his top runners might make a wrong turn in the woods somewhere along...
