Asked after Saturday’s home win over Westhampton Beach, in which the boys knocked down nine 3-pointers, if they weren’t leading the county in 3s, Dan White, the coach, said the team was probably the county’s worst rebounding team.

It’s a rarity, or so it has been of late, that the Ross School can boast of a league champion, much less an undefeated one, but it happened recently as its middle school girls volleyball team completed a 10-0 season.

Both teams competed against the best of the Northeast; Ryan Fowkes ran a personal-best 4:27 mile at Ocean Breeze.

A meeting of parents in the Sag Harbor, Southampton, East Hampton, and Bridgehampton School Districts, including Ross School parents, was to have been held at Pierson High in Sag Harbor Wednesday night to discuss the future of football here.

East Hampton was urged on enthusiastically that night by the school’s band and its dance team, which performed a tightly choreographed number at halftime.

As expected (though it was not a lead-pipe cinch), the East Hampton High School boys swimming team won at West Islip on Jan. 16 to cap an unprecedented undefeated league-championship season at 7-0 (9-0). It was the first such for boys swimming since the program began here under Jeff Thompson in 2010.

Sunday’s weather was pretty awful, but Saturday was a good day for skating at the Buckskill Winter Club, which, its manager, Cory Lillie, said has been doing well since opening around Thanksgiving.

With a convincing win over Sayville-Bayport Monday, and with a similarly stellar victory over Hauppauge, the defending league champion, last Thursday, it appeared likely that the East Hampton High School boys swimming team would wind up as a league titlist for the first time since the program began here under Jeff Thompson in 2010.

Last week was the best of times and the worst of times for the Killer Bees of Bridgehampton, who, after an exciting win over Pierson at home, went on to lose, 65-62, at Shelter Island, a fellow Class D school.

Yani Cuesta, who coaches East Hampton High’s girls winter track team, said during a conversation Monday that her girls — she has a dozen — proved to be quick studies when it came to the Zeitler Relays at Suffolk Community College-Brentwood last Thursday.

Jim Stewart, East Hampton High’s wrestling coach, said before the meet with East Islip here Friday that he was still looking for some pieces with which to fill out his jigsaw puzzle — quite a few as it turns out, for the Bonackers had to forfeit in more than half the weights that day.

Yani Cuesta, who coaches East Hampton High’s girls winter track team, reported Sunday that her charges had done very well at the Art Mitchell invitational meet at Suffolk Community College-Brentwood earlier that day.

When, after defeating Hampton Bays 36-33 in a nonleague high school girls basketball game Friday, Krista Brooks’s players leaped up and down in euphoric glee, she didn’t quite understand. Newly returned to coaching, Brooks hadn’t been aware of the losing streak.

Not again! Yes, another 1-point game, the fourth in the seven games the East Hampton High School boys basketball team has played thus far this season.
