Brosco, Andrews named All-Long Island

Shoreham senior Bobby Andrews was named Suffolk County's Runner of the Year in Newsday's annual fall awards. Andrews was also the Suffolk Runner of the Year as named by the coaches association. Andrews completed one of the finest individual cross country seasons in school history, culminating in a trip to Oregon for the Nike Nationals. Coach Bob Szymanski was named Coach of the Year.

Also named All-Long Island was Shoreham junior Kaitlyn Brosco in field hockey. On a team where multiple players could score, it was often Brosco in the big spot who delivered. She was at her best in the Wildcats' run to the Suffolk County championship. She scored three goals in the Wildcats' playoff opener, one in the semifinals, two in the small school championship and one against Garden City in the Long Island championship. It was only the second goal Garden City allowed at the point in the season. She finished the season with 20 goals.

In girls soccer Dianna Marinaro was named second team All-Long Island. Marinaro, a South Florida bound senior, was earlier named first team All-State.

In football Longwood senior Moses White was second team All-Long Island as a linebacker. And on another note with White, I just realized Tuesday when talking to coach Chris Meyer at a basketball game that White was still 16 during the season. As a senior. Crazy. At his age, he really shouldn't be graduating until 2010. Imagine the damage he would do next year if he had another full season. And even still, he wouldn't even be 18 yet.
