The East Hampton High School boys soccer team put itself in position to win a league title by defeating Amityville 1-0 in an extremely hard-fought game played here Wednesday morning.

The March-April season has thus far gone swimmingly, at least as far as most of East Hampton High's teams are concerned, for the girls teams especially.

Since playing to a 1-1 tie with Hampton Bays on March 12, Don McGovern's team defeated Wyandanch 4-0 on the 15th, shut out Shoreham-Wading River 4-0 on the 17th, and blanked Bayport-Blue Point 2-0 here Friday.

East Hampton High's footballers may have lost 18-8 last Thursday, but their improved performance augured well.

John Ryan Sr. and John Ryan Jr. learned Monday that they can go ahead with lifeguard and junior lifeguard training at the Y.M.C.A. East Hampton RECenter's pool as of Saturday.

East Hampton High's boys soccer team, which was to have played at Wyandanch Monday, at Shoreham-Wading River Wednesday, and is to play here on Friday with Bayport-Blue Point, has shown itself to be a good one.

Joe McKee, who has been working hard to rebuild East Hampton High School's football program in recent years, was happy to take the field here Saturday afternoon with the first varsity team he's coached since the fall of 2016, as the untried Bonackers, who had only two weeks to get ready, faced Babylon.

East Hampton's field hockey, soccer, volleyball, and cross-country teams were on the field, court, and course this week as a belated fall season got underway.

Anthony Daunt of Springs barely got any sleep for four and a half days straight not long ago, but it wasn't his infant daughter, Mila, who was keeping him up, but rather the Moab 240, an ultra race in Utah.

The junior varsity team has begun a 10-day quarantine period after one of its players, a Pierson student who played in Saturday's game with Babylon's jayvee, tested positive for Covid-19 over the weekend.

The first game to be played on East Hampton High School's turf field in a long while was contested by the East Hampton and Pierson boys soccer teams Monday in typically brisk Bonac spring weather. The nonleaguer — the first of the season for both teams — was, in contrast, hotly contested, though the Bonackers proved to be the more solid squad, and thus wound up winning 2-0.

There were to have been five athletic contests involving East Hampton High School teams Tuesday, and three — field hockey, boys soccer, and boys volleyball — went off as scheduled. A boys cross-country meet with Islip that was to have been held at Belmont Lake State Park in West Babylon that afternoon was canceled.
