NASSAU

CONFERENCE IV

Matt Lowe and Kyle Brey aren’t the only talented golfers leading Farmingdale. Senior Mike Zalanzy is expected to provide ample depth for the defending county champion Dalers.

Massapequa, led by John Conlon, hopes to be in the conference title mix.

CONFERENCE V

Garden City is loaded with Charlie Garcia and Steve Jozkowski, both four-year players, as well as John-Paul Aldaine-Paiewonsky and Jack Fisher.

South Side has freshman Sean Byrne and all-conference performer Greg Savrou to keep it in the mix for the conference title.

Oceanside has three of its top six back, including juniors Lawrence Maurello and Adam Weber.

CONFERENCE VI

Cold Spring Harbor returns five golfers who were all-county or all-conference last season, including senior Luke DeNigris and sophomores Anthony Wagner and Chris Gabriele.

East Meadow, with Timothy Kearon, and Roslyn are expected to be competitive.

SUFFOLK

LEAGUE III

Half Hollow Hills East's Steve Mincone and Steve Chung could emerge as Suffolk's top 1-2 punch.

Last year's county runner-up, Hills West, lost several seniors to graduation, but has potential All-County performer Eric Domain to keep it in contention.

LEAGUE IV

Jack Maerki, a state championship qualifier last spring, and Kevin Cockerill lead Bay Shore.

Lindenhurst, led by Brandon Hauser and Sean McDermott, should also be a factor in league play.

Whitman is led by Theo Goodman and Billy Nelson.

LEAGUE V

Reigning league champ East Islip has the potential to repeat with seniors Brian Allmendinger and Tom Bishop.

Sayville figures to be right on East Islip's heels with freshman Kyle Burke and junior John Farese.

LEAGUE VI

Ward Melville has every reason to think it can repeat as league champ with Tim Mirocco leading the charge.

Shoreham-Wading River will be in the hunt with Sean Sanders.

LEAGUE VII

Mattituck has three all-league golfers, including Connor Davis and female members Marie Santacroce and Morgan Gildersleeve, back for another run.

Trevor Jones and Anthony Bonsignore will help Eastport-South Manor challenge Mattituck.

LEAGUE VIII

East Hampton hasn't lost a home match since 2003 and will be tough again with the return of Zach Grossman, who moved back from South Carolina, Ian Lynch, John Nolan and Cameron Yusko.

It won't be easy for East Hampton as Southampton, led by top returning golfer, senior Ryan Ricca and his brother Scott figure to fight it out for the League title. Peter Barnaby and Jake Frankenbach will provide depth.
