Riverside Hawks Summer kick-Off

Five games this weekend with Game7 McCombs at the Riverside Hawks Summer kick-Off. Two tonight at Northsport in Northport, the rest are at ISA (Island Sports Academy) in Sayville. Hopefully the team will play aggressively, when they do they're tough to beat.



GraceAnne has finals this week. She's been doing a LOT of studying and had a math test this morning so it was nice to have an opportunity to hit the gym at mid-day before she went back to the books. BIG science test today. She's done very well academically this year but I'm sure she'll be glad when school is finally out for summer.

Defender 3 can either sink in to stop penetration or apply pressure b...
