Bobby Duvnjak is one of the best defenders on Long Island and along with Stefan Pate will solidify the back field for Manhasset while Ryan Matthews heads the run-and gun-Indians offense.
South Side is a junior-laden group. Zach Scaduto, Peter Clark and Paul Considine all return on attack for the Cyclones.
Midfielders Brian von Bargen and Matt Balzano lead a Wantagh squad looking to emphasize defense this year and reign in its high-scoring offense of the past few seasons.
Ryan Mahon will be a focal point of Bethpage's offense. Jericho is an experienced squad led by junior defender Chandler Kirby. Midfielders Mark Rizzo and Sam Martorella will help lead an experienced Hewlett squad, Luke Spitzer heads the attack for Lynbrook and Nick Fasano will be between the pipes for Carey, who will also be in the mix.
