As the 2015-16 school year winds down it is time to look back, reflect on and congratulate the student-athletes from around Suffolk County who participated in interscholastic athletics this past year.
While we are all proud of the many honors, awards and championships that our member schools achieved I think the greatest achievement for Section XI was the small part it had in providing a positive, enjoyable and educational experience for the 85,000 student-athletes who participated in 2015-16. Each of you has represented your team, school and community with great dignity, pride and class. We hope you will look back fondly on your experiences and trust that the memories you have will last forever.
As the year comes to an end we say goodbye to our seniors and wish them good health and much success as they move on to the next chapter in their lives. To our returning and new student-athletes we hope you have an enjoyable and restful summer. We look forward with great anticipation to your continued involvement in athletics and cannot wait to see what new standards and memories 2016-17 will bring.
Our sincere thanks go out to all student-athletes, coaches, athletic directors, sports chairs and fans for a memorable 2015-16.
