South Side Sports Update: Oct. 4

A look into the fall season for the varsity teams.

Football

  • Record: 2-2
  • Summary: After a 2-0 start, the Cyclones football team has cooled off as of late, dropping to 2-2 on the season. The team started the season with wins over Sewanhaka and Floral Park before falling to Manhasset and Glen Cove. South South still has a good shot at the playoffs with its remaining four games coming against coming against four teams that have combined for a 4-12 record to this point.
  • Next Game: at Carle Place (0-4); Oct. 5, 7:30 p.m.

Boys Soccer

  • Record: Conference (1-2-2); Overall (4-2-2)
  • Summary: Another team from South Side with a big start, only to go a little cold as of late. The Cyclones started 4-0-1 with multiple out-of-conference wins to set an early tone. Then the team dropped two consecutive league games to Wantagh and defending state champions Jericho before tying Roslyn Monday.
  • Next Game: at Westbury (1-5-1); Oct. 5, 4:30 p.m.
  • Note: The outcome of Wednesday's game against Garden City was not available when published.

Girls Soccer

  • Record: 7-0
  • Summary: How do the Lady Cyclones follow up the team's 16th state championship in school history? Winning the first seven games of the 2012 season without allowing a goal is a pretty good start. That's right, the Lady Cyclones have outscored their opponents 23-0 thus far. Keri Cavallo, Christina Klaum, Katie Ford and goalie Sarah McCarthy -- who has literally been flawless -- have led the team along with a number of other players this season. A 17th state championship might not be far off.
  • Next Game: at Clarke (4-3-1); Oct. 4, 4:30 p.m.

Girls Volleyball

  • Record: 6-1
  • Summary: After a five-set loss to Wantagh in last year's Nassau County championship, the Lady Cyclones came flying out of the gate, winning their first six matches of 2012. They will get a rematch with Wantagh Thursday and the outcome of the game should be a pretty good indicator of whether or not the Lady Cyclones are ready to win the Nassau championship this year.
  • Next Game: vs. Wantagh (5-2); Oct. 4, 4:30 p.m.

Girls Tennis

  • Record: 8-0

  • Note: The outcome of Wednesday's game against Lynbrook was not available when published.

My daughter just told me that Principal McGinn went back on the loudspeaker today to tell theRead More students it was their citizens duty to vote today. She also told them that she is in favor of skirts and ties as school uniforms.
nora maresca May 21, 2013 at 06:02 pm
common sense, I think beenthere has been referring to the US News and WR drop in ranking (22 toRead More 117). Where did you see info related to change in methodology. Per their website, I only saw "The methodology used in 2013 Best High Schools rankings was unchanged from the 2012 edition." Did you see something else?
Mike Boranian May 21, 2013 at 04:28 pm
been there needs to chill out. if you are not in favor of the budget vote no. but stop the personalRead More attacks. the ranking fell because students who were not previously included in the calculations were included this year. as a diverse community, the inclusion of those kids negatively impacted the ranking. that's a fact. should the now incorrect refenece to a prior ranking be removed from mailings? yes. but in what world does some subjective ranking determine your vote?
beentheredonethat May 21, 2013 at 12:45 pm
My data is factual it came from the NYS Report Card. You can check it out yourself.
nora maresca May 21, 2013 at 05:47 pm
Me too ssmsmom. Apparently because we object to some administration actions, we areRead More "besmirching reputations." And, we are "clueless" if we don't support their candidate. And, we should not trust what our children tell us. I think I've got it now but I'm not clear what or where we should be "getting out" of.
ssmsmom May 21, 2013 at 05:32 pm
My daughter told me. How dare you refer to her that way and refer to your self as advocating forRead More children. This has been an eye opener for me.
Mike Boranian May 21, 2013 at 04:48 pm
PTA is extreme? Are you serious? Extreme how? In advocating for what they think is best? How is it'sRead More advocacy any different than what I have read here? If anyone thinks voting for the CPA is best for the RVC public school system , both long and short term, they should do that. However, besmirching the reputations of those who think otherwise says all one needs to know about where you are coming from. Attacking the MS principal about some sort of civics lesson? Unless you were there, how do you know? Because 6th grader told you? Come on!! And if you really think that voting for the CPA will alleviate the intractable mandated budget issues this school district faces then you are truly clueless. What would you say if we had a proposal of a 22% increase like Manhasset, requiring a 60% super majority to pass? What would you say about the campaign that would be necessary to get that type of increase thru assuming people wanted it? I have read what you have had to say these past few days. I question whether you have really been anywhere or done anything. Now get out.

And many of them will leave because the job pays next to nothing. Proctoring will be turned into aRead More complete nightmare

Many companies and municipalities are doing the same, as was predicted when the ACA was debated.Read More Logical business decision.
Truth teller May 23, 2013 at 08:40 am
Transparency , that's all we want . and I don't think you can find a solution to a problem unlessRead More you honestly define it and negotiate a solution palatable to all . I know we will not all be happy but the key here is what we can all live with.
Janet Shainis Cisario May 20, 2013 at 04:09 pm
Well been there, I haven't explained anything about AP, I told you I don't know. I also did not sayRead More I think that our SAT's are not good, only that you cannot compare them to Jerichos. I said that our kids scores are obviously more than good enough to get them into great schools year after year and have them be successful in college and beyond, and that you should not get caught up in the statistic. I also have not said I think we are a rich district, the state treats us as such along with much of LI....I thought I made clear that I disagree with them. I am not trying to explain away anything, I think the actual facts of our schools' success tell the story.
RVCLongIslander May 20, 2013 at 01:40 pm
Janet, you really seem to know so much about how the district operates, and not just this year, butRead More also the history of decisions made by past Boards. Thank you for presenting facts clearly and intelligently, without sarcasm and threats, and with true knowledge. Kudos to you!!

Hey Matt Hogan, While I don't buy into posts that you are Johnson's press secretary and him havingRead More a hand in running this publication, I do believe myself and many other readers here would appreciate an in depth, unbiased and objective interview w/ him asking the tuff questions your readers asked here. He always seems available to comment on and inflate the slightest bit of positive news, perhaps he would like the opportunity to comment on and explain his take on the latest rankings, etc. Have you or any member of your staff ever directly interviewed him or requested and interview w/ him and would you consider requesting such an interview?
Fred Stapleman May 17, 2013 at 09:57 am
It is nothing short of amazing that people are still rushing to the defense of Johnson/Burris andRead More their minions at the PTA. What's wrong w/ you people? When the rankings come out positive they do everything they can to publicise them from plaques on the wall to streaming video on the district website and everything in between. Yet not a peep on the latest rankings. 500+ ranking in NYS, people thats based solely on test scores not the # of kids taking the test and how many free lunches the district provides. Do any of you wonder at all why Johnson encouraged kids to "opt out" of NYS testing? If so let me help you out...The scores are going to be awful and would have been worse had all the kids participated. The quality of life in this town and its education system is circling the bowl, we need positive change not the same old go along to get along mentality. Pls think about voting for Ms Rubino, we need some balance and accountability on that board not a bunch of Johnson puppets. Not sure when Johnson's contract is up but he too has got to go, he is slowly destroying this district. We might try to hire Baldwin's superintendant as he really seems to know what he is doing when it comes to AP.

This is the funniest blog post ever. Someone thinks Patch is run by Johnson, another should haveRead More used the more appropriate pseudonym "know it all" and the most recent thinks the PTA is ruining our neighborhood. Go to a meeting, get involved, educate yourself. If you can't go to a meeting watch the local government and school channel. Then perhaps you would know that the bulk of the school budget is dictated by NY state.
