Boys Soccer

Sept. 8: Shoreham-Wading River 9, Bayport-Blue Point 0

After winning the summer league in the town of Brookhaven, the Shoreham-Wading River boys soccer team looks every bit the part of a team that’s going to compete for a championship during the school season. Through two games this season, the Wildcats have scored 14 goals and have shutout both opponents. Against the phantoms, Zach Makarewicz nailed a hat trick, and Evan Degroot had two goals and 1 assist. Makarewicz has now scored five goals this season.

Sept. 8: Commack 9, Riverhead 1

Not the start to the season Riverhead boys soccer was hoping for. The Blue Waves have opened the season with three straight losses and have been outscored 18-2 through the first three games. It doesn’t help that their captain, Hector Calderon, has been injured since the opening minutes of the first game but coach Nic Dezenzo believes he’ll be back within a week. Rony Yanes has scored both of the goals for Riverhead (0-3) this season. They’ll travel to Brentwood Friday, Sept. 12, for a 4 p.m. game.
