Team Up For Community: SWR Soccer

On Saturday, September 29, 2018, the Boys and Girls varsity soccer teams hosted a fundraiser for the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

This organization was chosen because of the support they continue to demonstrate to the families of our fallen heroes. This past year the Tunnel to Towers Foundation paid off the mortgages of two servicemen from the Air National Guard 106th Rescue Wing in Westhampton who lost their lives defending our freedom:  Tech. Sgt. Dashan Briggs of Port Jefferson Station and FDNY Lt. Christopher Raguso of Commack.

Because of the Foundation, the wives and children of these heroes will have one less thing to worry about. They can continue to live in their homes without having the burden of paying a mortgage. READ MORE!

Comsewogue’s Butzke Gets No. 11 Retired

The Comsewogue Athletic Department officially retired the soccer jersey of No. 11, Joshua Butzke.

Joshua graduated from Comsewogue in 2010 and tragically lost his life this past January in a skydiving accident.

He was arguably the best soccer player at Comsewogue and was four-time all-league, three-time all-conference, two-time all-county, two-time first team all-state and a two-time all-region player.

He lead his team to back-to-back state championships in 2008 and 2009.

Joshua is survived by his parents, Rich and Lorraine, and siblings Eva and Samantha. Both Joshua and Samantha will be inducted into the Comsewogue Hall of Fame on October 6.
