The Commack School District dedicated its high school baseball field to late Commack High School varsity baseball coach Bryan Bonin. Bonin, a father of three, died on January 25, 2022 at age 33 after a year-long battle with cancer. He was an accomplished coach for Commack Schools, winning three league championships, two county championships and the 2021 Long Island Conference I championship over his four seasons of coaching the team. He was himself a graduate of the District, and beloved by the students he coached. Friends, family, his colleagues, students, and his former baseball and basketball teams were in attendance at the heartfelt ceremony. He touched so many lives and will always be remembered for his caring personality and knowing just what to say in every situation. We miss you Coach!
