Boys Soccer
Brentwood’s Stalyn Acosta turned in one of the best seasons in Suffolk County history and was recognized for his efforts as the Suffolk County Boys Soccer Player of the Year. He was honored at the year-end Suffolk County Boys Soccer Coaches Association dinner.
This season, he was also named All-American, All-State, All-Region, All-County, and All-League.
Brentwood finished 22-0.
Capping off a 22-0 perfect season is another remarkable feat for the Brentwood boy’s soccer program. Head coach Ron Eden continued to add to his hall of fame resume too after he was named National Boy’s Soccer Coach of the Year by United Soccer Coaches.
Coach Eden posted a heartfelt note on social media about the team’s accomplishments:
“To the Brentwood Boys Soccer family it takes an army of people and players doing their jobs that helped me win this prestigious award . I want to thank all my players past and present for their amazing skill but more important their friendship. I want to thank all the coaches club , middle school
JV and Varsity past and present as I share this award with you . I want to thank all the parents who sacrificed to help their sons along the way without that we have nothing. I would like to thank the fans you are the best and you inspire the players to play harder. I would like to thank the school and Administrators who helped and hired me every year along the way. Last but not least my family who have sacrificed so much to let me do what I truly love, especially my loving wife Jeanette. In closing Ray Perez and Mr. Lown this is for you for believing in me .”
The Sayville Boys Soccer team gathered items and funds to acquire essentials for crafting “Blessing Bags” intended for homeless and displaced teenagers.
The team also accumulated non-perishable items, all earmarked for donations to Hope for Youth and the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless.
