Team wins Class B County Championship, downs Cold Spring Harbor in finals, 4-0
The Carle Place High School boys varsity soccer team accomplished the goal the team had set way back in June: win a Nassau county title. All season, the coaching staff preached two words, consistency and focus.
After a long layoff due to Hurricane Sandy, the team was finally able to take the field again and put those two words in motion. The team beat rival Wheatley by the score of 2-1 in the semifinals. In the final, the squad took down Cold Spring Harbor, 4-0. It was a gratifying season in which the team won its first ever Class B county title, and the school’s first county title since winning the Class C crown in 2003-04.
Special thanks to the students, staff and the entire community for their support all season. Players that will be honored at the NCSCA dinner on Dec. 4, include County Finals MVP George Costidis; All Conference players Mike Montello, Adam Cabrera and Rob Posillico; All County Honorable Mention John Guzzo and Guiseppe Altadonna; and All County Dylan Klein and Matt Carr.

The village code was amended at a recent board meeting to require that all new village parks and recreation department employees that work closely with children take background and toxicology tests. While new CDL operators underwent background and drug and alcohol testing, no such system was in place for hires at the recreation department.

Deidree Golbourne has been running track and field all four years she has been at Westbury High School. Her passion for the sport comes from knowing that “you can put your all into it. It’s not a team sport where you have to depend on other people. You get out as much as you put into it.”
Golbourne is also seeded fourth in the state for discus throwing. She says that when she initially picked up discus her freshman year, she wasn’t a fan.
