The John F. Kennedy High School boys volleyball team captured the Class II Long Island Championship after an incredible 16-14 fifth set over Eastport-South Manor on Nov. 10.
“Down 13-14, the team showed belief and resiliency to come back and clinch back-to-back Long Island titles,” said Dennis Ringel, the team’s coach and a health teacher at the school.
They clinched the Nassau County title with a three-set sweep of Jericho High School on Nov. 7.
