Commack should be renamed title town

We can now call Commack “Title Town.” After this past weekend, the name is more than fitting, as the community didn’t celebrate just one state title but two. The Boys Varsity and Girls Varsity Soccer Teams both won the 2025 New York State Championships. The accomplishments achieved this weekend will be remembered for years to come, as both programs delivered performances that showcased talent, resilience, and true Commack pride.

The Girls Varsity Soccer state champions earned their place in the history books by defeating Cicero–North Syracuse 2–0 up in Cortland. That historic victory secured the program’s first-ever state championship. The win represents a monumental moment for Commack athletics, highlighting a season defined by determination, teamwork, and exceptional play on both sides of the ball. Every member of the roster contributed to this breakthrough achievement, making the title even more meaningful for the program and the community.

Not to be outdone, the Boys Varsity Soccer team is also bringing home a state championship. Earlier that same afternoon, the boys captured their third state title by defeating defending champion Fairview 1–0 in Middletown. Ryan C. delivered the decisive first-half goal, while goalkeeper Zach B. anchored the Cougars’ third straight shutout. The team’s resolve was especially impressive as they held strong for the final 10:22 while playing down a man after a red card. Their previous titles came in 2014 and 1995, and this latest victory adds to a proud tradition of excellence.

With both championships secured on the same day, Commack becomes the first Suffolk County school — and only the 13th in New York State history — to win both boys and girls soccer titles in the same postseason. Both teams even toppled defending champions on their road to glory, making this one of the greatest athletic moments in Commack and Suffolk history.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
