Men’s Lacrosse
The North Shore Men’s Varsity Lacrosse Team had two tough losses this week to start their 2010 season. In their season opener on Tuesday, the Vikings fell to Bellmore JFK. Despite a strong defensive effort, led by junior goalie Alec Volpe, and giving up only one goal in the second half, the Vikings were unable to find their rhythm on offense and fell to the Cougars by a score of 8-4. The East Meadow Jets then traveled to North Shore on Thursday for another hard fought game. Again, the defense put up a strong fight, this time led by co-captains Nick Capparelli and Danny Broker. The offense, still trying to find its way, was unable to match the scoring production of the Jets and so the Vikings were unable to pull out the victory.

Boys Lacrosse Preview
The Glen Cove Boys Lacrosse Team is ready to open their 2010 campaign this week. With three non-league games, the boys look to use the momentum created last season to push them into the new decade.
The 2009 season saw the Big Red soar to an 11-5 record, the best under Head Coach Steve Tripp. “The boys really came together last year,” said Tripp, “I hope this year’s group will do the same.”

Girls Varsity Lacrosse 2010
Having the first three days of the season outside was awesome but then came the rain and we are back indoors. The Varsity this season takes on a very different look than the last two seasons as 10 seniors graduated. We will be led by senior Captains Chelsee Marks, Sam Basile and Brittany Baker all of whom started last year and have already stepped up and are working with the new players. The only other starter for the team is Heather Artinian who will hold down the defense with Brittany. A welcome attacker is senior Jessica Andreotti who is playing with skill and poise and will be an added bonus in the attack with Sam and Chelsee.

North Shore End of Year Awards
At the end of the Varsity season, End of Year Awards were voted upon. Several players from the North Shore Girl’s Basketball team received recognition from the opposing coaches. Three were recognized with All-Conference Honors, meaning that they were one of the top players in the Conference, juniors Elizabeth Sheerin and Jackie Gioia and Freshmen Erin Sheerin (who finished 7th in Nassau County in assists). Senior Elle Hoffman (10 points per game and 3rd in Nassau County in 3-point shots) and sophomore Amanda Johansen (10 points per game, 9.8 rebounds which was 3rd in the county and 4.9 assists which was 2nd in the county) received All-Class Honors (meaning that they were both top players in all of Class A). Senior Kathleen Lennon won All-County honors. For a player to be All-County that means that she was one of the top players in all of Nassau County, regardless of Class. Kathleen averaged 15.2 points per game (16th in the county) and 12 rebounds, which was good for #1 in Nassau County! In addition, senior Jennifer Melgar was recognized for athletic and academic achievements as the Scholar/Athlete Award winner and All-Academic New York State. The team also should be recognized for their basketball achievements. North Shore averaged just under 61 points per game, which was good for #1 in Nassau County. In addition, the girls hit 110 3-pointers which led the county and seems to be a record number for Nassau County (complete records are not available for all years). Finally, seniors Elle Hoffman and Kathleen Lennon will represent North Shore in the Senior All-Star game on March 20th at St. Joseph’s College. Congratulations to the North Shore team on an outstanding season!

The State of Glen Cove PE, Health and Athletics
As more news of a difficult economy presents itself to us daily, I have recently been reflecting on the current state of our PE, Health and Athletics Department at Glen Cove.
I have always been something of a cups half-full type of person. If a challenge presents itself, rather than focus on things that are amiss, why not just take the situation and figure out how to make it better? As the A.D. at Glen Cove I strive to give our students the best possible experiences during their school years. If one focuses on what needs to get done, rather than what can’t get done, progress occurs. As someone who lives the life of an A.D. on a daily basis, I can soundly say, we are doing very well in Glen Cove. You have my word, that in these potentially tough economic years ahead, I will continue to strive to bring in the various donations, grants and free programs that have put our PE, health and athletics programs on the map!
