Section XI Alumni: Coan Shows More Improvement in Wisconsin Spring Game

Sayville native Jack Coan has always been a fast learner, but when you get to the big time Division I level of football that he’s at, it’s not easy to progress.

For Coan, it’s the same old story though, another season, another chance to improve and shine.

“I definitely know a lot more, and I’m so much more comfortable than I was last spring,” Coan told LandOf10.com “I kind of actually know what I’m doing this spring.”

Coan, who is headed into his sophomore season next fall, will be the backup to starter Alex Hornibrook.

#SectionXITBT: Horseshoe Pitching in 1940

Before you think it, no, Section XI does not have a sanctioned “horseshoe pitching” event, and neither does the New York State Public High School Athletic Association, but this photo is too unique not to feature!

It was a different era in 1940 that’s for sure!

Check out this image above from Westhampton Beach when the school won the Suffolk County Horseshoe Pitching championship.
