Boys Cross Country: Cramps aside, Udvadia leads SWR to county title
SECTION XI CHAMPIONSHIPS Ryan Udvadia wasn’t going to let some cramps cramp his style in his final competitive high school meet on his favorite cross-country course, Sunken Meadow State Park.

Babylon rolls over Mercy for 19th straight win
PANTHERS 41, MONARCHS 6 The word on the street is that Babylon High School’s football team is even better than it was last year when the Panthers won the Long Island Class IV championship and the Rutgers Trophy, which is given to the most outstanding team in Suffolk County. A reporter...

Soccer: Monarchs are shut out in Mattituck
TUCKERS 5, MONARCHS 0 The seniors on the Mattituck girls soccer team gave a strong postgame demonstration of what playing for the Tuckers has meant to them.

Football: First win still evades Monarchs in final home game
BONACKERS 34, MONARCHS 13 Desperate for a win, the Bishop McGann-Mercy football team may very well have been looking forward to its final home game on Saturday against East Hampton/Bridgehampton.

Girls Tennis: Before the playoffs, teams play waiting game
You can’t fight city hall. To put a twist on that old saying, the Bishop McGann-Mercy girls tennis coach, Mike Clauberg, offers this: “You can’t fight Section XI.” Clauberg, concerned about what Suffolk County’s interscholastic sports governing body will do with his team in regard to the upcoming county team tournament, may...

Football: Mount Sinai leaves Monarchs battered and bruised
Anyone looking for an explanation to the result of the Mount Sinai football team’s 38-0 pounding of Bishop McGann-Mercy on Saturday need not look far. “They’re very good,” McGann-Mercy coach Jeff Doroski said. “We’re struggling. And we’re not very good.” Call it the imperfect storm. Mount Sinai (4-1) lived up to its second-place...

Football: It’s back to the drawing board for Mercy
In the wake of a disappointing loss Saturday, McGann-Mercy coach Jeff Doroski issued his players a challenge. As the Monarchs fell to 0-3 — the prospects of a return playoff appearance fading farther away — Doroski knows it would be easy for the commitment level to begin slipping. “It’s real easy...

Football: Center Moriches’ playmakers cause Monarchs trouble
RED DEVILS 24, MONARCHS 6 Call them playmakers. That is what the Center Moriches High School football team has. Tyrell Thomas, Tarik Rountree, Zachary Brady. They all have the ability to make a big gain on any play. That big-play ability was shown Friday night when the Red Devils, coming off a...

Boys Golf Preview: Meteoric rise of two golfers encourages Davey
PREVIEW The old good news-bad news thing comes into play when considering the Riverhead boys golf team. For the bad news, the Blue Waves (6-6 last year) lost their top four golfers from last 2012, a tough gut punch, to be sure. But here is the good news: Riverhead’s Nos. 5 and...

Preview: After nice run, Mercy light on experience
PREVIEW If this is the golden era of Bishop McGann-Mercy girls tennis, the shine on that gilt may be getting duller. The Monarchs have enjoyed great success, reaching the playoffs the past five years and compiling a 55-7 league record during that time. Prior to last season, they had an unbeaten string...

Football: As Monarchs see it, this girl is one of the ‘guys’
Jackie Spinella seemed a little uncomfortable by all the attention. Asked if she felt like a trailblazer, she laughed. “I don’t know, I guess,” she said. The truth is, it’s much simpler to Spinella than breaking a gender barrier. The Riverhead girl just wants to try playing football. Nothing more, nothing...

Football: Big things expected from Mercy’s biggest player
One doesn’t have to think too hard to imagine what football coach Jeff Doroski must have been thinking when he saw the hulking figure of Colin Ratsey walking through the hallways of Bishop McGann-Mercy Diocesan High School several years ago.
