Commack Champs

By Brenda Lentsch

The Commack Boys Varsity Soccer Team took home the NYSPHSAA Class AA State Championship on Sunday with a 2-0 win over Fairpoint. Played in Middletown, NY, the team had a thrilling victory on Saturday in the semifinal game, with the only goal scored by Commack’s Anthony Izzo in overtime beating Shenendowa 1-0.

Izzo, a junior, was the star of the championship game, scoring both goals in the second half. Hundreds of people were on hand at Commack High School to celebrate the team’s homecoming. Word spread quickly through the community, and the Commack Fire Dept. provided an escort for the team’s bus from the LIE north to the high school on Scholar Lane to rousing cheers from the waiting crowd.

Coach David Viegas, exhausted but ecstatic, and hoarse from shouting, expressed his thanks to the team and the fans. “The show of support from the ENTIRE community, student body, parents, faculty,  building and district administration, Board of Education, and the  Commack Soccer League has been overwhelming throughout this journey. Words cannot describe what we witnessed upon our arrival back to Commack High School. Thank you to everyone and a special thank you to the Commack FD for the escort back to CHS! The TEAM would like to share this championship with all of Commack! Commack pride!”
