Baymen Baseball Team Class B Nassau County Champions Again

Friday, 22 June 2012 00:00

Baymen named champions for the 6th year in a row

When you consider that the Varsity career of a high school athlete is usually just four years, it is a truly remarkable achievement for a high school program to win six championships in a row. There is one constant in a situation like this. Coaching.

Head Coach Jay Davis, Assistant Coach Scott Lineman and JV Coach Ron Scudder hold the keys to teaching and inspiring young athletes to play at their best all season long. Coach Davis has garnered Coach of the Year distinction in the past few years. This year Mr. Scott Lineman was recognized and honored with Assistant Coach of the Year.

And what a year it was. The Baymen finished with a record of 22 wins and two loses. Registering 22 wins in a season is outstanding. Logging 22 wins for the third consecutive season, as the Baymen have just done, is astounding.

Even with the balanced team effort that is the hallmark of Baymen baseball, there are always exceptional athletes that stand out.

Joe Siringo is a leader among champions. Joe was chosen as the League MVP for the second year in a row. Last year Mr. Siringo was picked for the All State First Team. (As of this printing, this year’s All State players have not been selected.) Joe has been honored with All County distinction for this season. On Friday, June 8, Joe played in the Nassau-Suffolk All Star Game at SUNY Farmingdale.

Joe Siringo was joined by teammate Michael Maloney on the field on Friday, June 15 at SUNY Farmingdale for the Exceptional Senior Game.

Catcher, Michael Maloney also earned All County honors as did junior Dylan Robinson. Phillip Mihlstin and Willie Treiber were selected as All Conference. Blake Meyer earned All League honors.

The Baymen will be graduating nearly half the roster this June. The coaching staff is already planning and preparing to do what it takes to be competitive in the 2013 season.

With notices now coming in, the first ArtWalk on June 2, was a success. Walter Imperatore, co-chair of the Marketing Committee of the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Chamber of commerce offered, “We were generally happy with the results. Jim Perna of Long Island Picture Frame, who’s running this event for the chamber, said that he saw an increase in the number of people on the streets. That being said, we were looking to attract more people.”

ArtWalk also gave several artists the opportunity to share their talent with the public as the Arts & Antiques Walk planned for this summer’s Sundays debuted. It is intended to bring people to the hamlet by adding “eye candy” to the streetscape and Julie and David Heiss of the Madd Potter agreed it did.

Boys Lacrosse Wins County Championship

Thursday, 13 June 2013 00:00

County title is a first for Quakers and their program

With fans wildly cheering from the sidelines, the Friends Academy Boys Varsity Lacrosse team kept rival Cold Spring Harbor at bay before ultimately beating them 9-4 to capture their first ever Class C Nassau County Championship.

Coach Brian Crocco credits the team’s offensive balance with their success in the championship game and throughout the 14-2 season. “What we have found all season is that while we do have a few serious impact players who contribute quite a bit to our offensive success, what has been most remarkable is that we have shared the scoring well, especially in big games. During the championship game, we had seven different goal scorers contribute for the win — two seniors, three juniors, and two sophomores. We have six guys with at least 20 points each this season, so in crucial situations we have found that any number of guys can make a play.”
