LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Dear Readers, Over the past month, we have seen many teams endure some great football, soccer and volleyball seasons. As the winter sports have begun, we have switched our focus over to basketball, hockey and wrestling. We have highlighted many basketball teams this season including Molloy, Briarcliffe, Suffolk County Community College and others. Each team has its own unique story and challenges, but after talking to numerous players and coaches, they all have the same goal. Unfortunately for them, not everyone will reach it. We also have stories on a few hockey teams. You can read about the Stony Brook and Maritime teams and how they have been doing after the first half of their seasons. We’ve already witnessed some big starts and some tough ones, too. Some teams have had relied on their younger players while others are counting on top performers. Some had injuries to the upper classmen and others are loaded with talent for the next few years.
