Ohio State lost to Clemson, 29-23.
It’s not every year you see a Section XI alum playing in a major college football bowl game.
Sayville’s Jack Coan started for Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl and came up just short after Oregon beat the Badgers, 28-27.
Coan, one of Long Island’s most prolific passers, was 23-for-35, for 186 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception. He also rushed twice for eight yards.
Mattituck’s Xavier Allen scored career point No. 1,000 in early December.
He is the first player to reach 1,000 points since 1983 in Mattituck boys’ basketball history.
Xavier credits his success to his role model and older brother Eugene, who introduced him to the game of basketball at 4 years old. His brother keeps him focused on his life goals and helps him better his game.
Xavier is grateful for the sacrifices his parents made to support him through this journey.
