Thanks to Pat-Med for hosting the Suffolk PAL All-Star hoops tournament!

Congratulations to the Connetquot baseball program on their 900th win!

Congrats again to the Kings Park boys basketball team on an incredible season. Their success was recently recognized by the Suffolk County Legislature with a proclamation.

The Bay Shore girls track and field team recently used concession sales to raise $400 for a Ukrainian relief supply drive.

Special thanks to the ground crews, maintenance, facilities and custodial teams who work hard all season long to make the athletic fields and facilities look amazing across Section XI.

Please join us in congratulating the Island Federal-Section XI Scholar-Athlete Nominees for March!

Paul Gallagher of Ward Melville and Trey McGowan of Bayport-Blue Point have both shown tremendous commitment to academics, civic engagement, and athletics.

Both have been added to our Scholar-Athlete Scholarship Watch List and are finalists to be awarded in June.

Nick DeCillis has been working in scholastic athletics since 1956 and still holds his position as administrative assistant for corporate funding at Section XI. He just celebrated his 90th birthday!

Happy Birthday, Nick, and thanks for all you have done for Section XI athletics!

Rocky Point Baseball Players were inspired to create a food drive to help address a situation in the local community.

“As standout student-athletes, they certainly set an outstanding example for the youth throughout our community.”
