Westhampton boys basketball

Having managed a come from behind win in the Suffolk County semi-final round against Centereach the previous week, the Bulls needed that same magic for the Class AA final when they faced the Hurricanes of Westhampton at Farmingdale State College on March 9. There would be no magic as the Bulls stayed within striking distance, but a dominant Westhampton defense kept Smithtown West at bay for the 54-40 victory.

Two juniors topped the scoring chart for the Bulls with Alyssa Lorefice notching 11 points and Catherine Piccininni added 10.

Seniors Kate Braun and Rosa Pistone concluded their varsity careers netting 9 points and 2 points respectively. 

The Bulls finished their 24-2025 campaign with an impressive 17-3 record and with it a league IV championship.

The Ward Melville boys volleyball squad is on a hot streak with an undefeated record. The Patriots, the defending Long Island champions from last season, looked to put up another “W” when they hosted Westhampton, Thursday, Sept. 26. 

Returning outside hitter, senior Kyle Fagan, had a potent one-two punch with a vicious serve, coupled with a dominating performance at the net, that provided the spark for the Patriot offense.

Ward Melville looked a little unsteady in the first set, but despite falling behind in the third set, they ended up sweeping the Hurricanes 25-21, 25-16 and 25-15, for the victory. The Patriots followed up with a 3-1 win at Connetquot, Sept. 28, and stand at 7-0 in Division I.
