The unified Southold/Greenport/Mattituck softball team, without question, is stronger than either the Southold/Greenport and Mattituck teams would have been on their own this season had they not merged. Softball numbers have been low on the North Fork in recent years, prompting concern and, finally, action the creation of Southold/Greenport/Mattituck. One team representing three high schools. “We haven’t had a junior high program the last three years in Mattituck,” coach Kim Gerstung said. “You know, you can’t build programs without junior high. So, it’s been in the talking [stage] for the past couple of years. Southold would have had a JV last year, but not two years previous to that, so it’s just numbers-wise, if we didn’t combine this year [Mattituck] wo ....
Getting back on track. That’s the name of the game for the Riverhead High School boys track and field team these days. For the first time in nearly 14 months, the school hosted a sporting event on its campus Monday. It was the track team’s first competition in two years.

Considering that Islip and Bayport-Blue Point, two of the tougher teams in Suffolk County League V, were on the schedule for two of those matches, that was a tall order. Now, following Monday’s contest in Shoreham, the Wildcats’ playoff chances are nil. Hard-swinging Jacqueline Bryant and Islip’s virtually automatic-return defense saw to that. ....
Mattituck’s Ashley Young pushes the ball over the net, surprising her opponent and scoring a point. (Credit: Robert O’Rourk) It’s a volleyball question for which there may be no simple answer: Who benefits more in a setter/hitter relationship? Perhaps there isn’t an either/or answer. It’s a symbiotic relationship. Behind the hitter who wows the crowd with a thunderous kill is a setter who directed the ball in the right place. Neither can get the desired result without the other. “The hitter always looks good,” Mattituck coach Frank Massa said. “They look good whipping shots over the net and making that loud sound coming off the floor or somebody’s arm, and the setter is the one that set the plate on that one, putting it on a tee. ....
