William McCreery of New Hyde Park plays for the Frozen Ropes Long Island 10-u Red travel baseball team. The team had an opening day away double-header on April 1 against Garden City.McCreery pitched a complete game and had his first no-hitter in his first start of the season.
He also threw 10 strikeouts and the team won with a score of 2-0. His coach, Joe Silvestri, tipped his hat to William and said that he didn’t care if it’s a 10-u travel ball, a Division I college ball, or the major leagues, keeping a team out of the hit column for an entire game is a tremendous accomplishment.

The Village of New Hyde Park swore Donna Squicciarino in as trustee on Tuesday, May 7. She will fill a seat vacated by Robert Lofaro, who won the mayor’s seat in March after Daniel Petruccio decided to not seek re-election.
Squicciarino is the second woman in New Hyde Park’s 86-year history to serve as trustee. Florence Lisanti was the first woman to serve on the board, whose term expired in 2001.

Simply because something has happened or reoccurred several times in the past does not make it a tradition, something to be expected maybe, or something habitual perhaps. Tradition is different. It evokes a feeling of long-standing preplanned positive experiences built in layers upon one another.
So it is, apparently, with the Highlander Wrestling program. Year after year, young men and women graduate from the high school program only to return again as alumni freely lending their expertise, assistance and support . . . giving back to those who have not yet entered the fraternity of Highlander Wrestling Graduates.
