John Alberda has totaled 58 goals over the past two seasons. This year, he netted a single-season school record 32, including nine hat tricks. And he did it against some of the toughest competition — Suffolk League II — that Long Island has to offer. “I haven’t seen a player like him before with his foot skills and with such an explosive shot,” Sachem North coach Frank Schmidt said. “Some kids can crack a ball, but his shots are on net. They’re dipping, and they’re being bent or curved around keepers.”
