The eighth annual Louis Acompora scrimmages were held on Saturday, April 4, as boys' lacrosse teams from the tri-state area converged on Northport High School to play a series of scrimmages to honor the memory of a fine young goalie and to spread the word about the importance of emergency cardiac care at athletic events. Ward Melville, Shoreham-Wading River and Mt. Sinai were among the local squads participating.
For the Ward Melville Patriots it was a chance face stiff competition and tweak their starting lineup. Head coach Mike Hoppey said, "I was happy with how the day went, and we got to play a lot of guys against good competition. This is always just a great event with great teams."
Ward Melville faced Brewster, Corning East and Ridgefield. "Our senior goalie Zach Quinn continues to excel. He's taken a big step forward. And we've moved our All-County attackman Cody Ferraro to midfield because we needed a physical presence there with Jimmy Ryan out hurt," Hoppey said.
"It seems to be the thing to do this year. Dan Di Maria at Hills West and Steven Murphy at Floyd are running midfield this year to help their teams. They were All-County attackmen last year, too. Cody has a good sense of where to be get off his shot," he concluded.
