It has been a busy year for the Athletic Department at Adelphi Academy, but also specifically for the Academy’s Lower School student-athletes.

The fall featured a tennis program run by instructor Steven Carberry of Bay Ridge Sports Camp. The eight-week program was open to students in Pre-Kindergarten through fourth grade and focused on the fundamentals of the game.

“The program was a great success. My staff had a wonderful time working with the students,” Coach Carberry said. “It will now be an easier transition when it is time to join Adelphi’s Upper School tennis team.” read more »

 JV Division

 Stingrays 3 Stars 1

Talk about saving the best for last! The DHAA JV Division championship game between the first-place Stars and second-place Stingrays went down to the wire and drew more than 100 people.

The game was a defensive battle as both teams struggled to score until 12 minutes into the first period. The Stars started Michael Barbati in goal and he was simply amazing, making some difficult saves early on. Richard Fodera, John Pluchino, Lennon Tomaselli and Nikolas Angilletta played spectacular on defense for the Stars. The Stingrays started goaltender Anthony Scarpaci, who arguably played the game of his life. His fellow defenders Marisa Sparacio and Bobby Ioannou seemed to break up every scoring opportunity the Stars created in their zone. read more »

Tom Knight’s Diamond Reflections: Remembering Warren Spahn

March 8, 2012 – 3:44 pm

Warren Spahn

Warren Spahn, the great Hall of Famer, won 363 games and lost 245. That’s more wins than any other left-handed pitcher in the history of the game! And he tied the great New York Giants Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson for most seasons with 20 or more victories. He and the right-hander had 13 each. But this is not about Spahn’s many records.

When I first saw Spahn pitch, his lifetime record was 0-0. He had just been brought up from the minors by the Boston Braves. Boston’s manager was Casey Stengel. Neither the Braves nor the Giants were going anyplace that year and were just playing out the season. read more »
