Farmingdale boys soccer feted with fitting parade after winning first-ever Long Island title

It’s been a historic year for the Dalers boys soccer team, which claimed its first Long Island championship with a 2-1 win over Lindenhurst on Wednesday — and the squad got a kick from an impromptu parade home with blaring fire trucks and troves of fans waiting for them on campus late at night. “We had a dance party in front of the high school,” longtime head coach Brian Weber told The Post. “It was parents, the superintendent. I mean, everybody was out — and it was just amazing. I just stood back and tried to take it all in.” As if the dream team needed any more injected emotion, it’s also been a cathartic experience for the boys who have rallied around junior striker Adam Vitulano . Farmingdale soccer claimed its first boys Long Island championship. Farmingdale Athletics His father, John, died from liver cancer during the playoffs, and the group became Vitulano’s extended family, he said. “The bond that they formed certainly later in the season, and certainly up to now, is unbreakable,” Weber said. “They really love each other.” Banged-up Seaford Vikings out for more after losing LI Championship last year Vitulano netted a golden, double-overtime goal

NY suburbs’ last GOP strongholds flip as blue wave makes history on Long Island, Westchester

The tidal wave keeps rolling. Long Island’s Republican stronghold Hempstead shockingly flipped blue under the weight of the Democratic blue wave in Tuesday’s midterms — as the northern suburbs of Westchester and Rockland counties appeared to be headed the same way . Voters in the Nassau County county — the most populous in America — bucked Republican rising star John Ferretti from town supervisor, choosing Democrat Joe Scianablo in a stunning three-point victory. That ran against more than a century of Republican leadership — with Scianablo becoming only the second Democrat to run Hempstead in about 120 years. Gov. Kathy Hochul celebrates on stage after winning reelection during an election night party on Tuesday, Nov. 3,. John Angelillo/UPI/Shutterstock Democrats were also on track to take Hempstead’s town clerk job, with Joylette Williams leading incumbent Republican Kate Murray by a few hundred votes Wednesday about a day after polls closed. Those results mirrored the nationwide midterms, which left Republicans reeling after Democrats snatched majorities in both Congress and the Senate while flipping five governorships.
