Final Standing: 12th Place (out of 14)

Season Summary

The Central Islip Musketeers wrapped up a difficult 2024 season with a 1–7 conference record, finishing 12th in a highly competitive Division I. While wins were hard to come by, the Musketeers managed to avoid the bottom two spots in the standings and remained competitive in several matchups.

The team showed flashes of potential, especially on defense, but struggled to generate enough offense to consistently challenge the division’s top-tier programs like William Floyd, Ward Melville, and Sachem East.

Highlights

• One Critical Win: That lone victory was enough to edge out Brentwood and Riverhead in the final standings.
• Building Blocks: Despite the results, the team featured several young players gaining varsity experience in key positions.
• Defensive Resilience: Central Islip managed to limit damage in several games, keeping opponents under control for stretches.

Looking Ahead

With a year of growth behind them, the Musketeers will look to take the next step in 2025. Focusing on quarterback play, offensive line development, and red-zone execution could yield more competitive results and help them climb the Division I ladder.
