Huntington Plays in the Louis Acompora Tourney at Northport High School

   The Huntington Third Grade team proved their mettle playing in the Fourth Grade Division against power houses Harborfields and Commack. Though the younger team did not come out ahead in the final scores, their play earned them the respect and admiration of all who saw their games. The tournament set up required the teams to play on small fields with only eight players a side and the games only last 20 minutes of running time.

 

In the first game, Huntington fell behind Harborfields 3-0 before rebounding behind the aggressive play of Kingston, Coffey, Reynolds and O'Neil plus the strong defense led by star defender Luis Puca and stalwart goalie Bobby O'Neil.

 

After a long wait under the shade trees, the Huntington team took the field against the crimson squad from Commack. The team played with head, heart and hustle with major contributions form Adam Pomper, John McGrath, Patrick O'Brien, Patrick Tinari, Jamie Cronin, Nicky Smith, Nicholas Saputo, Tyler Moore, Dylan Rivizzo and Dillon Haymer.
