West Islip Boys Soccer Ranked No. 20 in US
West Islip boys soccer finished the 2021 ranked No. 20 in the nation on the United Soccer Coaches Poll after winning its first NYSPHSAA championship in school history.
The Lions finished with a 20-2-1 record. The Section XI title they won was their first since 1973.
“The 2021 West Islip boys soccer team is the most skilled, talented high school team I have ever seen,” said West Islip Athletic Director Tim Horan. “Their offense couldn’t be stopped, resulting in many individual and team records being broken. And their defense shut out most opponents, only giving up one goal in the state playoffs. In addition to their tremendous athletic ability, they also represented themselves throughout the entire season with class…and as true sportsmen.”

Jeremy Thode Endures Inspirational Journey to Raise Awareness for Mental Health
Center Moriches Schools administrator Jeremy Thode is an inspiration. He wants you to know he cares and that many people care about the children in our Section XI schools.
To show this sign of affection and bring awareness to mental health through his actions, he is walking about 300 miles to each of the 59 Section XI schools. He said it will take about six days with stops and sleepovers to break up the trek.
He started the Jonahs Mission foundation to advocate for children.
