Bonac's Field hockey team welcomes Greenport-Southold Friday, boys soccer hosts West Babylon Saturday, and both cross-country teams hit the tough Sunken Meadow course Tuesday.

Bonac’s homecoming week saw wins by the girls volleyball, swim, and tennis teams, and good showings by boys soccer and both cross-country squads.

A fond look back at the Maidstoners ball club's Zen master, a reminder of the big push for the Lumber Lane youth center, and William Hartwell on the challenges facing the young — then as now.

After having begun the fall season at 0-3, East Hampton High’s girls tennis team, whose 14-player roster is evenly divided between students from Sag Harbor and East Hampton, has been coming on of late.

The Hamptons Marathon in Southampton and the MightyMan triathlons in Montauk drew a thousand competitors over the weekend, while Saturday brings the Run Down the Runway 5K at East Hampton Airport.

East Hampton High School’s boys volleyball team has been sailing along in divisional play, and could well find itself as the county small schools tournament’s top seed in November provided it continues firing on all cylinders.

From a teachers-students soccer game Thursday to benefit Kick Out Cancer, to the Bonac golfers taking on Westhampton Beach in Gansett Friday, to a Hall of Fame breakfast and jayvee football at the high school on Saturday.

All 11 of East Hampton High School’s teams will be on display here this week — beginning today with boys and girls cross-country, girls swimming, and boys volleyball — as it’s homecoming, for which Bonac’s 1965-66 boys basketball team will be inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame Saturday.

For the first time ever, East Hampton’s girls cross-country team defeated Shoreham-Wading River, by a score of 26-30.

Attendance was robust at Matej Zlatkovic’s pickleball clinics at the East Hampton Indoor-Outdoor Tennis Club last weekend. The game is easy to pick up and less taxing than tennis.

The score was 36-8, but Joe McKee, East Hampton High’s football coach, told his junior varsity charges that they would meet much tougher teams than Center Moriches down the road, and that there was much work to do.

Bonac girls tennis, swimming, and volleyball are at home Friday, while the boys and girls cross-country teams head to Rhode Island Saturday, a day that also brings the Hamptons Marathon and Half-Marathon to Southampton.
