It’s great when a varsity program works with the feeder system to help build culture and morale.
That’s exactly what Center Moriches Girls Soccer did this year when they hosted “program day” among the varsity and middle school teams.
Hopefully, those middle school players remember this experience and pass it on to the next generation when they’re on varsity!

Section XI official Joe Gaeta was recently honored as Veteran of the Game by the New York Yankees in September.
Gaeta served in World War II in the U.S. Navy. He was recognized during a video tribute at Yankee Stadium.
Thank you for your service, Joe!
Lindenhurst’s JV football team, led by coaches Mike Cheskay, Kevin Cullen, and Dennis Spinelli, paid tribute to the FDNY and all the first responders by running 22 100-yard sprints in honor of the 2200 steps that the heroes ran up that day to save lives.
The coaches said they thought teaching these young men a valuable lesson about bravery and sacrifice on such a historic day was important.
Section XI is proud to announce Northwell Orthopedics as a sponsor this year.
Sign up for the annual Patriot Run to honor Shoreham-Wading River’s Thomas Cutinella.
