A number of former Section XI student-athletes were recently named to the Tewaaraton Trophy Watch List for 2018.

The Tewaaraton Award annually honors the top male and female college lacrosse player in the United States.
The following played high school lacrosse in Section XI member schools:
Women
- Sam Apuzzo, Boston College, West Babylon

Players not named to the initial lists have several opportunities to play their way into a spot as the season progresses. Watch list additions, if applicable, will be announced on March 22 and April 5. On April 26, the field will be narrowed to 25 men’s and 25 women’s nominees. Nominees can be players on the watch lists or players not on the watch lists, effectively allowing for a third round of additions.
Five men’s and five women’s finalists will be announced on May 10 and invited to the 18th annual Tewaaraton Award Ceremony in Washington, D.C., on May 31.

William Floyd Lacrosse Player Overcomes Adversity
In a feature story posted on the school district’s website, William Floyd lacrosse player Jake Taylor is profiled for his skill, but also overcoming being born with club feet and hip dysplasia.
“I never even knew about my feet and hip until recently when I found my old casts and braces in my bedroom closet,” said Jake. “I began playing lacrosse, soccer and football at an early age and my parents didn’t think I should know. I had to wear orthotics in my sneakers but I didn’t think it was anything major.”
Now Jake plays in one of the toughest high school lacrosse divisions in the world.
