Its been a long wait. Good luck to all the teams for the coming year. I was surprised to see Riverhead as the #1 seed this year in Div. II. The team has a lot of senior leadership (26 seniors). Don't forget Newsday's football preview will be in tuesday's paper instead of the sunday edition. Begining Sept. 10th, suffolksports.com will debut, featuring all highschool sports in suffolk. The site promises to be the end all be all in highschool sports. That remains to be seen, but I look forward to viewing it. Supposidly, every game will have a write up, so check it out. God willing, we'll have a season with lots of fun, and only minor injuries.

Floyd, Glenn, Sachem N., Sayville went 3-1; Miller Place, Kings Park, Connetquot, Smithtown West, Sachem East &amp; E.Hampton all went 2-2. Rocky Point &amp; Bayport were 1-3 (Bayshore was either 2-2 or 1-3). The only team to make it into the playoffs was Floyd...they were VERY impressive. Interesting was that Floyd lost to Glenn (somehow) &amp; Glenn lost to Sachem North. Sachem North struggled with Rocky Pt for a bit. Then Iona Prep (last years champ &amp; a top 6 playoff team this year) beat Sayville rather easily, then lost to Miller Place. Miller Place lost to Connetquot, who in turn lost to Sayville. Not sure how it ended...but the Final 4 were New Britain, CT., Southington, CT., Canterbury, CT. &amp; Floyd. 2009-07-27 14:26:38 3rd&goal <forumuser@vmix.com> http://forum.newsday.com/forums/thread/11010/ 11010 It is terrible way toooo slow 2009-07-23 11:23:52 Suffolk-III <forumuser@vmix.com> http://forum.newsday.com/forums/thread/11005/ 11005 this kid is special. my reps say he has it all 5 tool running back--run,run with power,catch, block and can throw. the only thing that can stop him is if goes to watch a wi game and eats at that germ infested snack shack. sean, brown bag it please. 2009-07-22 13:52:13 littleburke321 <forumuser@vmix.com> http://forum.newsday.com/forums/thread/11002/ 11002 hey whats up with the wi coaching staff.i hear there is strife among the ***'t coaches. they better get it together,but they weren't favored to win anyway. maybe new blood is what they need,becaue they are stale,football wise. also are their any black families in west islip. it is 2009 please lets get this town in the real world. 2009-07-21 15:00:35 littleburke321 <forumuser@vmix.com> http://forum.newsday.com/forums/thread/10988/ 10988 For those of you who follow Suffolk d 1 every season, which team do you think has the best shot at ending Floyd's regular season winning streak now that there overall winning streak has come to an end? 2009-07-19 18:57:11 Sportsfan8239 <forumuser@vmix.com> http://forum.newsday.com/forums/thread/10987/ 10987 thoughts on division 4 football this season? 2009-07-19 18:46:59 ILUVF0oTBaLL <forumuser@vmix.com> http://forum.newsday.com/forums/thread/10983/ 10983 who will be in the playoffs and who will win the confrence the top 8 seeds go gccareyelmontwantaghmacauther divisonlong beachkennedy 2009-07-18 06:00:21 lifootball09 <forumuser@vmix.com> http://forum.newsday.com/forums/thread/10970/ 10970 conf./div. 1 Suff. 11 wins Nassau 6winsconf./div. 2 Suff. 12 wins Nassau 5 winsconf./div. 3 Suff. 10 wins Nassau 7 wins conf./div. 4 Nassau 10 wins Suff. 7 wins Totals Suff. 40 wins Nassau 28 wins Last three years Suff. 14 wins Nassau 2 2009-07-16 14:43:32 Suffolk-III <forumuser@vmix.com> http://forum.newsday.com/forums/thread/10962/ 10962 2009 Preseason Seeds w/2008 records...(in order): 1.

Farmingdale seems to have a very good team. They lost a bunch of seniors but they apparently still have some very good players coming back and are getting replacements from an undefeated JV team. Freeport is always good, it doesnt seem to matter who they lose from year to year. How will Hempstead perform now that Williams is gone? Baldwin has been very competitive the last 4-5 years. Will they continue that streak? Massapequa lost a ton of talent and wont have enough to compete with the top teams for the next few years. And what about some of the up and coming programs like Syosset? As a 4 seed, do they have enough to hang with the big boys? Lastly, what about a wild card team like Uniondale? They've always had talent. Now with a new coaching staff, can they put it all together and live up to that 3 seed? 2009-07-09 05:12:17 c_rockwell99 <forumuser@vmix.com> http://forum.newsday.com/forums/thread/10857/ 10857 Rumor mill swirls.

A shopper, Myriam Sammis, 89, of Amityville, had just been accosted - a man had grabbed her purse from the shopping cart she was pushing in the parking lot of the Merrineck Shopping Center on Montauk Highway.Harrigan, 17, an IGA employee and a senior at Lindenhurst High School, said Sunday that when he heard the scream, he set out in hot pursuit of the suspect. Others joined in the chase, including Anthony Cavasinni, IGA's front-of-store manager.The runners caught up with the suspect at a fence in a nearby backyard, where Harrigan said he grabbed the suspect's hooded sweatshirt and hung on tight as Cavasinni, 20, and other pursuers arrived. &quot;We brought him to the ground,&quot; Harrigan said, and held him there until the police arrived.&quot;They tackled him, he fought with them, and he wouldn't let go of the stolen property,&quot; said Suffolk police Det. Walter Rouff. &quot;They held on to him good,&quot; until police arrived.Police arrested Louis Mancini, 21, of Copiague, and charged him with third-degree robbery and fourth-degree grand larceny. He was arraigned in District Court in Central Islip yesterday and held in Suffolk County jail on $25,125 bail.Describing her experience Sunday, Sammis said she was on her way into the IGA when her purse was taken. &quot;I screamed and screamed . . .&quot; she said. &quot;I'm not 90 yet, but I'm breathing on it. I'm glad I could still yell. I can't run, but I could yell.&quot;And as she was doing that, she said, she saw &quot;a lot of good runners&quot; rush out of the store to join the pursuit. &quot;So many young people came out - it was amazing,&quot; she said. Harrigan said he didn't debate whether he should pursue the purse snatcher - he just ran and hoped the man didn't have a knife. Cavasinni said he got into the chase when he saw a man running past the store window carrying a pocketbook, with Harrigan close behind. &quot;I had the biggest adrenaline rush,&quot; Cavasinni said Sunday. &quot;I was like flash. . . . I couldn't believe how fast I was.&quot;Cavasinni, who plans to study to become a radiation technician at Nassau Community College, said in retrospect that the chase &quot;might not be the smartest thing to do. But at least I felt good at the end of the day.&quot;Harrigan, an athlete who has played football and lacrosse, will graduate June 24 and plans to attend Suffolk County Community College. He said he hopes to pursue a career in construction development management. He said the police told him, &quot;Good job, you did the right thing.&quot; His colleagues have been telling him that he's a hero.As for Sammis: When she got her purse back, she went into the IGA and did her shopping. And she's grateful. &quot;If I had a million dollars,&quot; she said, &quot;I'd do something&quot; for the young men who sprang into action.
