Nail Biting Time!


The Longwood Lions Unified Basketball team | Longwood Central School District | Facebook

The Longwood Lions Unified Basketball team had an impressive week going back to back. Longwood notched two wins against Comsewogue and Shoreham Wading River.

Both games were nail biters that went down to the final seconds. First the Lions defeated Comsewogue 50-48. The game was a hard fought battle by both teams right up until the end and the final score highlights just how much grit and determination it took to secure that victory. Shoreham Wading River was next up for the Lions and they prevailed once again by a score of 46-42. This was another tight game that went down to the wire with Longwood pulling ahead.

What we have watched over the course of the season, not only with Longwood but also the entire Unified league, has been very competitive play. The scores have generally all been close and watching the pressure shots and defense being played at the end of those tight contests has been a basketball fans dream.
