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 recapped and highlighted many football teams this season including Plainedge, Carey, Riverhead, and other. 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, everyone did not reach it. We also have stories on soccer and hockey teams. You can read about Northport girls’ soccer team and St. John the Baptist hockey. Both teams have been seeing success, and have an interesting future ahead. 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.
