This week we celebrate 50 Years of Title IX and the impact women’s sports and education have made on us all. #TitleIX

Life is filled with commitments.

High school sports teach us to approach our commitments the right way, with effort and dedication!

Our teammates teach us the power of commitment!

Like this same post on our social media pages if your team can depend on you.

It’s been a memorable senior season for Mount Sinai’s Joey Spallina, the No. 1 lacrosse recruit in the country.

Spallina, who is headed to play at Syracuse, was named the USA Lacrosse Magazine National High School Boys’ Player of the Year.

Last week he earned the Lt. Ray Enners Award as the top player in Suffolk County and the Bob Scott Award as the top attackman in the county.

He finished his high school career with 507 points, a Long Island scoring record.

His Mustangs also captured a Long Island championship.

Pat-Med senior pitcher Josh Knoth was named the best baseball player in Suffolk County and honored with the highly coveted the Carl Yastrzemski Award.

Knoth, who threw a perfect game in April against Riverhead, was 5-2 with a 0.86 ERA. He had 93 strikeouts and four walks.

Middle Country Boys Lacrosse has won the Team Up 4 Community Spring Sports Heroes Community Service Challenge.

Their event – “Goals for Giving event” – was selected as the top moment of giving during the spring sports season.

Bay Shore student-athletes spent time cleaning up the island next to their high school and dedicated a bench to former Marauders passed away too early.

During the 50th anniversary of Title IX, it’s perfect that Abby Rolfe has made history as a young woman paving the way in Section XI.

Rolfe, a senior at Port Jefferson High School, just finished an incredible varsity baseball season, hitting .438 with 29 RBI, 15 runs scored, four stolen bases and 19 walks. She also had a .571 on-base percentage and 1.093 OPS.

She is also the first young woman to record hits in the Section XI playoffs.

For her efforts she is now the first young woman to be named as All-County in baseball in Section XI history.

Congrats to the newly trained 18 Suffolk County PAL Junior Football Officials who recently completed the FREE training sessions.

Special recognition to SCFOA president Marc Negrin and his staff for donating their time to train the Junior officials.

In West Babylon they’ve created a program called Athletes Helping Athletes where upperclassmen speak with sixth grade classes to inspire them, teach them lessons – academically, socially and emotionally – and share personal experiences. This is a great connection for both groups of students involved!

Congratulations to Middle Country, the 2022 Section XI Unified Basketball Champions!
