If the SWR grounds crew needed to move them because things could have gotten a little testy in the shared stands.....good move by them.

SWR is the best team in Suffolk county and probably on Long Island. Possibly New York State. 1/3 of the team won states the last real season we had. That same group would have been 2 time champs had COVID not happened. They have the most talent. If Rotanz was still there, they probably would have won the last 4 State championships with that talent. Taylor won 1 but had remember he had Chris Gray and lost the 2 years he had him. One has to wonder if those that got Rotanz removed ever second guess that.

Back to the game, maybe SWR expected WI to be the program they’ve been for the last 10 years. Clearly the SWR team took their best punch and came back and won. Talent has a way of rising to that challenge. Bad news for all the future SWR opponents - now they’ll show up and blow your doors off.

You BBP people need to relax. Not there yet and likely won’t get there soon. Your girls program is better. Great game WI welcome back to respectability.
