The Port Jefferson Middle School athletic teams had an outstanding fall season, filled with fun, victories and teambuilding.

Coached by Mr. Bryan Vaccaro, the boys soccer team finished the season with a 5-5 record, with wins over Westhampton Beach, Rocky Point, Mt. Sinai and both Riverhead teams. The girls soccer team, combined with Miller Place, was coached by Rochelle Provenzano. The girls made new friendships and created their own uniforms as well as a new name, the Royal Panthers. The field hockey team, coached by Mallory Guerin, finished the season with a record of 4-1-5, only giving up one or fewer goals in nine of their 10 games. The football squad led by coaches Jesse Rosen and Joe Dessi went undefeated, playing the majority of the season with only one substitute. The cheerleaders, coached by Sharon Philbrick, demonstrated school spirit by decorating the school throughout the season. The cross-country team finished with great individual teams at every meet. The varsity team will get a lot of very talented runners next year.

“Seeing the success of our middle school teams makes the future for Port Jefferson athletics look bright,” Director of Health, Physical Education, Athletics and Nursing Adam Sherrard said. “Our student-athletes and coaches put forth a tremendous amount of effort this season. I couldn’t be more proud of their performance.”
