Boys Basketball: Encouragement seen in Corwin’s debut, a loss
BEARS 70, PORTERS 65 Encouraging. As much as he was tempted to say it, the competitor in Ev Corwin prevented him from uttering the word “encouraging” to describe a defeat. Nevertheless, one couldn’t help but believe that Corwin was encouraged by what he saw from his team in his debut as the...

Boys Bowling: New-look Southold opens season in rebuilding mode
COLONIALS 30, FIRST SETTLERS 3 The Southold boys bowling team has undergone a dramatic change, and that’s not just because some of the team’s more prominent bowlers are girls.

Girls Basketball Preview: Expect Tuckers, Clippers to speed things up
One can’t help but sense that Steve Van Dood takes special pleasure in coaching this season’s Mattituck High School girls basketball team. The Tuckers will play in a different mode this season, at a faster pace. That means steals, a variety of pressing defenses and transition basketball. “It’s an exciting game...

It’s incredible what a win can do for an athlete’s confidence. That could go double for a golfer. Mattituck resident Marie Santacroce had made some vast improvements in her golf game during her first two and a half years of college, including winning one-day tournaments, but she had never won a...

Girls Basketball: Gehring brings her game to Clippers
When Joe Read left his job as Bishop McGann-Mercy Diocesan High School’s junior varsity girls basketball coach to take over the Southold/Greenport varsity team last season, it wasn’t a package deal. The fact that now, one year later, one of his former McGann-Mercy players has joined the Southold/Greenport ranks is...

Johnson’s high-flying act a slam dunk
When it comes to pure athleticism, there aren’t many, if any, athletes in Southold High School who can match Shayne Johnson. Johnson runs like a deer, glides in the air like an osprey and, if that isn’t enough, his basketball game just seems to be getting better and better. The 5-foot-11...
