The ripple effects of the pandemic have left high school athletes sidelined for nearly 10 months now with no clear end in sight.
Even as the games remain on pause, high school seniors have forged ahead in cementing their futures at the next level.
Ten Shoreham-Wading River athletes recently announced their college selections. Rather than gathering together for a celebratory photo and joint announcement, the athletes each made do with their own photo from home. Seven of the 10 athletes will play lacrosse, which has been a powerhouse program for both the boys and girls.
