They finished tied with Mt. Sinai and held their own against programs like Center Moriches and Elwood/John Glenn. While they didn’t qualify for the postseason, the Wildcats delivered a competitive season and demonstrated growth across all phases.

Highlights

• Four Conference Wins: Helped secure a respectable mid-table finish in one of Section XI’s most balanced divisions.
• Physical Defense: The Wildcats leaned on tough defensive play to stay in games even when the offense stalled.
• Gritty Identity: Shoreham-Wading River earned a reputation for scrappy, down-to-the-wire efforts, regardless of opponent.
