2011 Top Sports Story No. 6: Sadowski nets his 200th coaching win
Two hundred wins is nothing to take lightly. It’s represents quite an investment in time and effort. For Andrew Sadowski, it has been an 18-year journey.

Three titles in one day. Talk about putting in a full day’s play. It’s hard to beat that, just as it has been hard for anyone to beat Chris Ujkic. The former Mattituck High School and Sacred Heart University standout was his dominant self in the Bob Wall Memorial Tennis Tournament this...

2011 Top Sports Story No. 9: Tampa Bay Rays draft Kubiak
Dave Kubiak has a New York Yankees logo tattooed on the inside of his left arm, but the Tampa Bay Rays are undoubtedly close to his heart. That must have been the case in June when the Rays told Kubiak that they wanted him. Tampa Bay picked the SUNY/Albany pitcher in...

Austin Scoggin’s final game for the Mattituck High School boys soccer team may have been his best. The senior goalkeeper stopped everything Wheatley kicked his way — except for one shot.
