Sacred Heart and St. Anthony’s took the field in hopes of winning the Parochial AA Championship on Tuesday. The Friars looked to cap off an undefeated season while Sacred Heart attempted to spoil the party and take the home the title. However, St. Anthony’s did not let that happen. They jumped out to a lead in the first half and never looked back as they cruised to a 14-4 victory.

It was the final game of the regular season for both teams and a lot was at stake. A victory for Port Washington meant they get the number one seed in the Nassau County A bracket. But, a win for Syosset means there would be a three-way tie between Port Washington, Farmingdale, and Syosset which would lead to a coach’s vote to determine who claims the top seed. It looked like Port Washington was going to win the game and finish at the top after jumping out to a 4-0 lead in the first quarter. However, a second quarter surge by Syosset saw them take the lead which they would not relinquish en route to a 12-10 victory. Here’s how they were able to get the victory!
Two of the top teams in Nassau battled it out on Friday night in Farmingdale. Both of these teams were searching for the #1 seed in Conference A, and if Farmingdale won, they would be poised to take the top spot. Port Washington came in with an 8-2 record, and Farmingdale entered the game 9-1. Offense was hard to come by in the first half as Port Washington’s Patrick Kenny and Farmingdale’s Danny Seaman did a tremendous job protecting the net. However, Port Washington’s offense got it going in the second half and came away with a 9-5 victory. The quartet of Henry Haberman, Luke Meyer, Jared Morales, and Jensen Weingard led them to the win. Here’s the recap of how this one went down!
