Was at West Islip High yesterday and caught the girls game vs. Hauppauge. What a game! West Islip has a fantastic team, but was gifted the game yesterday by the refs. The refs disallowed the winning goal by a girl from Hauppauge. What was so surprising to us was how the refs did the stick check, after the go-ahead goal by Hauppauge, with seconds left on the clock. He jammed the ball into the pocket of her stick, in full view of everyone, with so much force, ANY girls stick would've failed. I went there to enjoy Senior Day, and I did. Exciting game, but unfortunately the refs dictated the outcome of the game, not the girls. Good luck to both teams in the playoffs. Congrats to all the Seniors for West Islip. Great job by the students yesterday, giving the game a real playoff atmosphere.
