Royals Battle Through Tough Division

Overall Record: 2–7
Conference Record: 2–7
Division: Section XI Division IV
Final Standing: Tied for 12th Place

Season Summary

The Port Jefferson Royals faced a challenging 2024 season in a competitive Division IV field, finishing with a 2–7 record. Despite the tough stretch, the team managed to secure two conference wins, placing them above four other programs and tied with Pierson/Bridgehampton.

While the offense occasionally showed flashes of explosiveness, consistency remained elusive throughout the season. Defensively, the Royals struggled to contain high-powered opponents like Bayport-Blue Point and Babylon, but the team continued to compete with grit and intensity week after week.

Highlights

• Two Conference Wins: Provided momentum and served as bright spots in an otherwise rebuilding campaign.
• Young Talent on Display: Underclassmen gained meaningful reps, offering promise for the future.
• Resilience: Despite being outmatched in several games, the team showed up and fought through all four quarters each week.

Looking Ahead

With a season of experience and plenty of room for growth, Port Jefferson will look to develop its core and add physicality and depth heading into 2025. If the Royals can tighten up on defense and string together more consistent offensive drives, they’ll be better positioned to rise in the standings.
