Congrats to Wyandanch’s Jeremiah Webb on reaching the historic milestone of 1,000 career points.
He joins an elite group of only six players in Wyandanch history to achieve this incredible milestone.
Harborfields Girls Basketball recently hosted Half Hollow Hills for its annual Coaches vs Cancer Pink Game.
Last year, the team invited a local elementary student battling cancer. She recently had to have her leg amputated. The team invited her again this year – and what a year it was for this amazing young lady. She wrote a book, received a prosthetic, and has clean scans.
The teams headed to the locker room after the presentation to this girl and her family. The first player on Hills kneeled in front of our honoree and gave her a double fist pump. The remainder of the team followed suit, and so did the coaches.
If you were lucky enough to catch this moment, you had tears in your eyes and realized that this is what sports should be about. These players are role models. They offered support and hope to a little girl and didn’t pity her for her situation but honored her for her fight.
Congrats to West Islip senior Courtney Xippolitos for making history by scoring her 1000th career varsity point!
She is the second person in the history of West Islip basketball to reach this milestone.

What a great way to start 2025!
The Section XI Athletics For All Program provided a great day on the lanes for these student-athletes.
Several more events are planned throughout the school year, and we look forward to highlighting these meaningful opportunities.

Congratulations to Rocky Point wrestling coach Darren Goldstein on reaching career win No. 300!
Middle Country and Longwood placed second and third, respectively, in the winter Long Island Holiday Sports Heroes Challenge hosted by Team Up 4 Community.
The final stats for winter 2024: 36,429 athletes dedicated 198,831-plus hours to community service, giving back $1.8M in impact!
Middle Country hosted a Hoops for Hope event to raise awareness of cancer. Coach Andrew Gallo conceived the idea for Hoops for Hope during his wife’s third day of chemotherapy treatment. He was inspired to give back to the community that had shown immense generosity during such a challenging time. Choosing Positively Pink as the event sponsor was a meaningful decision, as its founder, Maria McMullen, is a close friend of his wife and a former Middle Country teacher.
Throughout October, Longwood’s Junior High, Junior Varsity, and Varsity cheerleaders turned each home football game into a celebration of support for breast cancer awareness with their “Tuck for a Buck” fundraiser. The cheerleaders took their spirit beyond the sidelines, rallying fans and collecting donations in the stands with pink pom poms in hand.
Section XI has welcomed Long Island Jesters Lacrosse as a new sponsor.
The Long Island Jester Girls United Lacrosse Club is a travel lacrosse program focused on developing the best student-athletes on and off the field.
They are committed to providing our girls with elite training, experienced coaching, and endless resources that will lead them to success.
