Flag Football Team Wins Inaugural Game!

Commack Athletics made history on Monday. And it won in convincing fashion to boot.
 
 In the first-ever varsity flag football game in school history, the Cougars defeated visiting Bay Shore 22-0 on Monday afternoon.
 
Commack converted on a pair of fourth downs and scored a touchdown on the first drive in program history en route to the shutout victory.
 
 The county began sponsoring flag football as a varsity sport a year ago, and Commack joined in this season.
 
 “We have really smart girls and really athletic girls,” said head coach Augie Contressa, a former Stony Brook football standout. “They showed it today.”

PGA Salutes HS Senior Ian Fenster

The PGA has taken notice of Commack High School senior Ian Fenster's amazing story of perseverance. Fenster was paralyzed from the neck down from December to March of his junior year due to Guillain Barre Syndrome. All the while, Fenster maintained his academics, and he returned to the CHS golf team this academic year. The PGA invited Fenster to meet favorite golfer Will Zalatoris at THE PLAYERS Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. Read the full story here.
