Under brilliant blue skies and mild temperatures, it was another edition of the annual Trunk-Or-Treat event presented by the North Shore Youth Council along with the Rocky Point PTA in the parking lot of Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School on Route 25A in Rocky Point Sunday afternoon, Oct. 27.

The North Shore Youth Council prides itself with providing local communities with comprehensive family programs and services in child care, enrichment, education counseling and recreation. 

Hundreds of costumed trick-or-treaters visited the spooky decorated cars and coffins that lined the parking lot where free candy, treats, popcorn and face-painting crafts with photo props were in abundance.

On Oct. 26, visiting Kings Park, searching for that elusive first win of the season, struck first and often against Rocky Point with a pair of pass plays from Brandon Shapiro to wide receiver Nick Paliotta for touchdowns before Kevin Vasquez sauntered 25 yards to make it a three-score lead midway through the second quarter at 21-0.

Rocky Point wide receiver Grayson Marmol hauled in a 25-yard touchdown catch from quarterback John Nadeau for the Eagles to trail 21-7 to take the goose egg off the board.

Kings Park marched down the field in the closing minutes of the half and the Rocky Point defense made a stop, forcing Kings Park to settle for a field goal at 24-7. Rocky Point threatened in the third quarter when Cristian Romero found the end zone on short yardage but Shapiro countered in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter, scoring on a keeper from 13 yards. Nadeau would answer with a keeper of his own, but it was too little too late as Kings Park won the game 31-21 to notch up their first win of the season in the Division III matchup.

Rocky Point drops to 2-5 and will play Harborfields on the road in their season finale Saturday, Nov. 2, at 2 p.m.

By Bill Landon

It was all Comsewogue football on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 26, when the Warriors hosted Amityville on senior recognition day. Peter Castaldo, a senior, was the backbone of the Warrior offense as the running back notched four touchdowns and rushed for 117 yards in the 42-6 victory in the Division III matchup. 

Comsewogue defensive back Jack Campagna stripped the ball from an Amityville running back and went the distance for a touchdown late in the second quarter. Comsewogue senior running back Shane Grant found the end zone on short yardage, and place-kicker Gavin Dandrea’s foot was perfect on the day where the senior split the uprights six times.

Amityville’s lone score came in the final minutes of play to take the goose egg off the board.

The win lifts the Warriors to 4-3 on the season and they retake the field Saturday, Nov. 2, with a road game against Hills West. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.

The Comsewogue Warriors had their hands full when the Bonackers of East Hampton came calling in a Division II contest Saturday afternoon, Oct. 19.

East Hampton scored two unanswered goals in the first half before Gabrielle Sohngen broke the ice for the Warriors to trail 2-1 at the halftime break. The Bonackers countered in the third quarter scoring the insurance goal to lead by two at 3-1. 

Warrior Allison Colmer’s stick spoke next when she rocked the box in the middle of the 3rd to make the score 3-2.

The Comsewogue sticks fell silent the rest of the way, with the Warriors falling to East Hampton 4-2.

Grace Peyman had 12 stops in the box for the Warriors.

Comsewogue hosted Bayport-Blue Point Monday, Oct. 21, but lost 1-0. The Warriors now have a 6-10 league record.

It was the final edition of the Patriot Run to honor the legacy of Thomas Cutinella, who tragically lost his life following a head injury sustained on a varsity football field Oct. 1, 2014. 

Thomas’ football jersey No. 54 has since been retired and the Shoreham-Wading River Wildcat Athletic Club, which sponsors the event, established the race distance at 2.54 miles in his memory. 

The finale was held Sunday morning, Oct. 20, at Wildwood State Park in Wading River. The runners were met with mild temperatures and brilliant sunshine, and were treated to a barbecue after the race.

The fundraising event raises money for the Thomas Cutinella Memorial Foundation, whose mission is to improve awareness of football-related head injuries, stress the importance of being an organ donor and keep Thomas’ legacy alive.

The foundation awards scholarships to local area students who exhibit characteristics of kindness, modesty and selflessness, as well as a genuine concern for improving the condition of the community at large.

The Patriots of Ward Melville girls soccer team came calling on Sachem East Saturday morning, Oct. 19, with an unblemished League II record 6-0 looking to stay atop the leaderboard just ahead of their opponents, but the Flaming Arrows at 5-1-1 wouldn’t make it easy.

Ward Melville forward Adriana Victoriano broke the ice for the Patriots at the 16-minute mark of first half when she rifled a shot to the back of the net. The lead would not last long when a minute later Sachem East countered to make it 1-1. 

Sachem East struck again halfway through the second half, courtesy of a corner kick to take a 2-1 lead, before Victoriano struck again six minutes later to retie the game. Victoriano scored in the closing minutes of the game for a notable hat trick as the Patriots secured a narrow 3-2 victory.

Ward Melville goalkeeper Kate Ronzoni notched four saves.

It would be the foot of Dan Jurgens, the place-kicker for Center Moriches, that would decide the game when Shoreham-Wading River came calling, snatching victory from the Wildcats to win 17-14 Friday afternoon, Oct. 11.

Deadlocked at 14-14 from the middle of the third quarter, Shoreham-Wading River mounted a late-game surge only to be stopped 2 yards from the end zone where the Red Devils took over on downs. Center Moriches, with a ground-and-pound offensive running game, mounted an eight-minute drive moving the chains bleeding out the clock, and called time-out at the 19-yard line with two seconds left in regulation. Jurgens split the uprights for the 29-yard field goal for the Red Devils win as time expired.

The victory lifts Center Moriches to 3-2 in Division IV, while the Wildcats drop to 3-2.

The undefeated Patriots of Ward Melville’s girls volleyball team at (11-0) did something they’ve only done once this season. They didn’t sweep their opponent 3-0 in the best of five sets for the second time this year. The visiting Patriots remain atop League I, having dispatched the Raiders of Patchogue-Medford, 25-12, 25-21, 23-25, 25-14, on Oct. 10.

The only other time the Patriots didn’t make a short day of it was when they dropped their very first set of the season in another road game, against William Floyd, Sept. 27, but still won 3-1.

After the Patriots handily won the first two sets, the Raiders countered in the third, edging their rival 25-23 and forcing a game four. Ward Melville wasn’t about to let the match go to five games as they downed the Raiders by 11 points to take the match.

Seniors Emma Bradshaw and Alexa Gandolfo proved to be a potent combination in the Patriot attack notching 31 kills, while juniors Chloe Borch and Jaclyn Engel recorded 32 digs between them.

The Patriots at 12-0 retain first place with four games left before postseason play begins.

Ward Melville at 8-1 hosted Walt Whitman (6-4) in a Division 1 field hockey contest that was never in question. The Patriots spread the scoring around to five different players in the 5-0 shutout Monday night, Oct. 7.

Peyton Phillips and Madison Toth got the momentum going in the opening quarter before Maddie Larsen made it a three-goal lead. Jadyn Stoecker and Nura Qasaimeh rocked the box in the fourth in the 5-0 win.

Senior goalie Olivia Zummo had a quiet day in net.

With five games remaining before postseason play begins, the Patriots look to bolster their seeding atop the division leaderboard, rubbing shoulders with Sachem East and Northport.
