This week's schedule of games, meets, and athletic events.

The recent closure of the only tackle shop in downtown Montauk was a blow for fishermen, but all is not lost for those who wet a hook and line in Montauk. The Montauk Anglers Club, right near the Montauk inlet on East Lake Drive, is looking to fill the void left by the departure of Paulie’s by adding more tackle, bait, lures, gear, and services to its already well-stocked marine and tackle store. 

The South Fork boys lacrosse team, on which a number of East Hampton High School athletes play, had a chance last week to reap some power points in games with Riverhead and Smithtown East, but fell short by one goal on both occasions. In any event, the team, as anyone who has seen it play could attest, is a very good one, capable of giving any opponent all it can handle. 

A reconstructed baseball diamond for Herrick Park, complete with dugouts, will be playable by "Memorial Day weekend, give or take," Chris Hines, an account manager with the LandTek Group, told the East Hampton Village Board at Friday's meeting. The board determined that the project will have little environmental impact, and approved $535,720.60 for the work, which will come out of the village's general fund.

East Hampton’s baseball and softball teams won games at Bonac’s fields and East Hampton’s girls track team defeated Westhampton Beach, a perennial powerhouse.

The life of Kenny Carter, a state-champion Bonac basketball player who died at the age of 63 on Feb. 27, is to be celebrated at the Clubhouse in Wainscott on April 27 from 5 to 9 p.m.

This week we hear from Lou Reale, a local legend among softball coaches. And more from yesteryear’s sports pages.

The question was whether I should stay in port on April 9 or put out my lobster traps for the season. Sounds simple, yes? But it wasn’t. Hear me out.

Lookee here, sports fans, for the local high school action ahead.

The Katy's Courage 5K in Sag Harbor on Saturday drew a large crowd despite the particularly blustery winds, with 471 people runners and walkers finishing the course. 

From the East Hampton Little League organization’s opening day to Bonac and Pierson varsity games, baseball was the sporting item of the day.

The Ross School’s athletic director and tennis coach, Marcelo Reda, is more interested in nurturing a winning mentality than in winning per se.
