A stunning goal capped a rousing comeback 4-3 win and clinched a playoff berth for East Hampton's worthy soccer team.

An estimated crowd of at least 1,500 under cloudless skies delighted in East Hampton High’s 34-8 homecoming football win Saturday over Amityville at East Hampton Village’s Herrick Park, the scene of fall football games for half a century before their removal to the new high school on Long Lane in 1979. 

One couldn’t have wished for a better homecoming. The weather was wonderful, for one. The Hall of Fame inductees, one an international sensation for having recently become the first American female to sail solo nonstop around the world, and another an exemplar when it comes to resilience, were beguiling. And the football game went entirely Bonac’s way.

In a single day, Bonac's field hockey team pulled off a win over Islip after two shootout rounds, boys soccer narrowly lost to Amityville, and girls swimming was edged by Sayville-Bayport in a riveting meet at home.
