*Helena Roy of Center Moriches was a staple on the girls cross country team. Along with her blazing 5K times, she has a 99.73 GPA (👀!) and is an International Baccalaureate Diploma Candidate.

Both Naomi and Helena are now on the Section XI-Island Federal Scholar-Athlete Watch List and are in contention to receive our Scholar-Athlete Scholarship in June of 2022!

At  the Suffolk County singles/doubles bowling tournament, Longwood senior, Katelyn Wheeler, bowled her SECOND 300 game of the season.

She is the first female bowler in Longwood history to roll a perfect 300 in a match and is believed to be the first female from Longwood to accomplish this twice as well. This is a feat that has not been achieved in Suffolk County girls bowling since the 2016-2017 season.

Wheeler is a returning All-County and All-Long Island bowler for the Lions and was named one of Newsday’s Top 25 girls bowlers for the second year in a row.

All first round matches took place on Wednesday, January 19. The brackets have been updated.

Semifinal and championship matches will be on Saturday, January 22.

Division I

Section XI is sad to learn about the passing of former East Islip cheerleader Carli Fragala, who died after a battle with brain cancer.

Her impact on the cheerleading community was evident in the love and support shown throughout her journey.

You’ll be missed, Carli.

On Saturday, March 26th the Suffolk County Council of Boy Scouts of America and the Andrew McMorris Foundation will host Andrew’s Top Gun Run to raise the funds for Scholarships and Scouterships.

In September of 2018, Boy Scout Troop 161 was hiking the Greenbelt Trail when a drunk driver tragically hit them. Several scouts were severely injured; as a result of his injuries, 12 year old Andrew McMorris passed away. The lives of his family, friends, community and fellow scouters were forever changed by his loss.  Andrew McMorris was an incredible, kind, and passionate individual with insurmountable potential for his future. In the wake of this immeasurable tragedy, we choose to step forward and celebrate Andrew life, his 16th birthday, love of aviation and scouting!

As a participant YOU will have the unique opportunity to walk and run the runway in Andrew’s honor.  This is going to be a fast and flat run.  We truly hope that you will consider supporting Andrew’s Top Gun Run 5K

The 5K will be a celebration of Andrew, his 16th birthday, love of aviation and scouting as our participants will have the unique opportunity to run on the runway in Andrew’s Top Run. We hope that you will consider supporting Andrew’s Top Run 5K
