3. Save the date! Studio 268 in Setauket will host an art show in December featuring a collection of fine art by local artists.

4. The Shoreham-Wading River Wildcats found themselves in an unusual position. The final minute ticked off at Lavalle Stadium in Stony Brook with a goose egg on the scoreboard in the Long Island Championship game against North Shore. The Vikings were able to move the chains with their running game while containing the Wildcats one-two punch ground game for a 7-0 victory for the Div-IV title Nov. 27. It was the only time the Wildcats were shut out this season. (TBRNews)
