Director of Athletics Don Lang proudly announced that three North Shore High School senior athletes recently signed National Letters of Intent (NLI). A Letter of Intent is a binding agreement between a prospective student-athlete and an institution. Once signed, the institution agrees to provide that student with financial aid (if eligible under the NCAA rules) for one academic year in exchange for that student’s agreement to attend the institution for one academic year. Additionally, all colleges and universities that participate in the NLI program agree to not recruit these student athletes once he or she signs the NLI.

The Laramie Project – Nov. 20 – 21 in the NSHS Theater

Performed by students in the North Shore community, The Laramie Project tells the true story of one of the most controversial crimes of the last 50 years, told through the actual words of the people who knew the perpetrators and the victim of the horrific 1998 attack that took place in Laramie, Wyoming, in which two young men tied another young man to a fence and beat him to death.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Glen Cove Pony White hosted East Meadow and won with a score of 26 to 6. East Meadow kicked off to start the game. Nicholas Lucchese received the ball and ran 70 yards for a touchdown. Ryan Aughavin ran in the extra point.

Before the end of the first quarter, Lucchese scored again after long runs by John Murphy, Frankie Castiglione, Ryan Aughavin and Fernando Aguilar. The extra point was no good and the score was 13 to 0. On East Meadow’s next possession, Jack Giovanetti intercepted their first pass. After passes from quarterback, Lucchese to Giovanetti, Castiglione and Murphy, Castiglione punted the ball. This ended the first quarter.

Congratulations are due to the Women’s Cross-Country Team who recently won the Nassau County Championship. Under the leadership of Coach Neal Levy, the team defeated all 55 teams in Nassau County to win their fourth straight County “B” Championship. Additionally, the team ended their regular season with a 13-0 record and was ranked nationally.
