East Islip, John Glenn Represent Section XI at NYS Dual Meet Championships
East Islip and John Glenn qualified for the New York State Dual Meet Championship held in Syracuse at the SRC Arena last weekend.
After losing a close match to Ballston Spa in the first round, East Islip rebounded with a big victory over Hilton from Section V. They advanced to the state semifinals due to criteria that put them ahead of their previous opponents, but they lost to Minisink Valley.
John Glenn had a first-round bye and beat Saranac (VIII), 57-14, in the second round. The Knights lost to Canisteo-Greenwood (V), 36-32, in the third round.
