Football

The top football players, coaches and team were honored at the annual Suffolk County Football Coaches Association dinner on Monday, December 4 at the Hyatt Regency.
Here is a run down of all the honors:
Suffolk and Nassau split the football Long Island championship bouts this past weekend.
Lindenhurst and Westhampton Beach rang supreme on Sunday, while Garden City beat North Babylon and Seaford narrowly edged Miller Place on Saturday.
Fans who attended Sunday’s games at Stony Brook were treated to some incredible football.
Westhampton’s Dylan Laube rushed for six touchdowns and netted 47 total touchdowns for the season, breaking a record held for 13 seasons by North Babylon’s Jason Gwaltney. The Hurricanes beat Lawrence 54-26.
Laubed finished the game with 25 carries and 229 yards. He also finished his career with 2,682 yards, the third highest rushing total in Long Island history.
In Class I, Lindenhurst captured glory after bearing Oceanside, 40-23.
Jeremy Ruckert, who will play his next football game as a member of the Ohio State Buckeyes, was in prime form dominating in all areas of the game. He was a threat on offense, blocked a field goal and kicked a 30-yard field goal of his own as well.
The Hansen Winner – the honor given to the top football player in Suffolk County – will be crowned on Monday, December 4. Ruckert and Laube are the favorites, of course.
This was the first Long Island championship for both Suffolk schools.
