Playing as well as it has all season, the East Hampton High School boys soccer team took it to Harborfields Saturday.

The Bonac boys and girls cross-country teams continued undefeated last week, the girls swimmers improved to 3-2, and soccer and field hockey see action this weekend.

East Hampton High’s girls tennis team, a number of whose players were new to the team when the season began, has improved greatly, in singles and in doubles.

A three-day blow over the holiday weekend put a severe damper on things for those intent to wet a line.

Bayport-Blue Point’s football team was a strong one, and while East Hampton could take heart in some big plays, they were too few and far between to avert a 55-13 loss.

When it came to grit, to intransigence, the Bonackers were outmatched, at least on this day, and the final score, 41-7, reflected it.

Sadly, I’ve not been fishing on my boat in well over a month, and my 30-foot Nova Scotia-built craft is high and dry on land while it receives a new stern deck.

The East Hampton High School boys and girls cross-country teams were undefeated and in contention for league championships earlier this week, though the boys perhaps had the clearer path.

The East Hampton High golf team’s record continued unblemished as Rich King’s crew handily defeated Pierson last Thursday at the South Fork Country Club in Amagansett, the Bonackers’ home course.

“Oysters are incredibly hardy,” said Kim Tetrault, who oversees the Cornell Cooperative operations in Southold. “They can withstand a lot of what Mother Nature throws at them.”

The news last week was good for the field hockey and girls cross-country and tennis teams.

Brynn Maguire, an East Hampton High School graduate who was twice named to All-America field hockey teams while at Mary Washington, will be inducted into the university’s Hall of Fame on Feb. 5.
