Schreiber Sports – “Around the Fields”

Well, you saw an incredible week of play as our teams made some significant strides in the season as we wind down the spring.

The boys lacrosse team had an impressive 12-8 win over defending state champion Farmingdale. This was the first time in 20 years a boys lacrosse team has defeated the Dalers. The team played a tough game against perennial top team Hicksville and lost in double overtime in a game that was filmed by MSG Varsity. The team next plays at home on May 1 against Syosset.

As you walk or drive along Shore Road, you will start seeing sailboats and motorboats out on the bay. Shipyards are busy this time of year, as are boat owners, who have waited patiently all winter long, dreaming of warm weather sailing. Well, the time to get the boat ready is here, and what a fun time it is. If you happen to stop by a boatyard on a weekend, you will be greeted with happy boat owners preparing their boats, catching up with other boat owners, and eager to get their boats launched. Yes, this is a very busy time down at the waterfront and it won’t even hit its peak until May. But, in the meantime, skippers and crew need to prepare not only their boats but their crew. Emergencies occur even to well-prepared crews. What if a picture-perfect sail at one moment turns into an emergency the next? Are you ready?

Schreiber Sports: ‘Around the Fields’

One of the most selfless acts of sports camaraderie took place last week when the girls varsity lacrosse teams from Port and Massapequa held a special KeiraStrong day in honor of coach Enright’s daughter who is battling leukemia. The teams wore KeiraStrong shirts as their game jerseys and played before a packed crowd at Burns Park in Massapequa. Though the Lady Vikings were overmatched in this game, the final outcome was about the outpouring of support for the Enright family. Thanks to all who attended the game and those who bought shirts for the fundraising cause. The loss to Massapequa is the only loss for the girls lacrosse team this year as they are 5-1 on the season.

An interesting story appeared in my inbox this past week, compliments of Scuttlebutt. It is extreme racing up close and personal. And since the weather has been nice, most likely anyone owning a boat was either frostbiting, or in the boatyard either preparing their boat for the spring or thinking about it. So the story below is just a tease to all you sailor-racers out there… to get your blood flowing a bit faster, and get you motivated to launch your boats. While Manhasset Bay is not the Southern Ocean, it is ours, conveniently located right out our backdoor.
