Boys Soccer: Unlike the football team, the boys soccer team was unable to get on the scoreboard in two contests this week. They suffered losses of 1-0, at home to Glenn on Tuesday, and 3-0 on Thursday at home against East Hampton. Due to rescheduled rain outs, the Phantoms will have a busy three-game week coming up, which will end on Friday at second-place Westhampton.
