Port Washington returns a total of 32 seniors — six starters on offense and five on defense. The Vikings will look to lean on their experience to be one of the more dominant offenses in Nassau I. They'll also lean on their talented quarterback, Harry Eynon, and his favorite wide receiver, Levi Felix.
Eynon said Felix "has been my favorite target since middle school. We practice together every day, and I'm glad to have him as my safety blanket."
Said Felix, "He's one of the best quarterbacks on Long Island. He always had a knack for throwing it deep, and I just ran under it since we were in elementary school."
Eynon threw for 1,868 yards and 24 touchdowns last season and also ran for three scores. Felix had 34 catches for 728 yards and 10 touchdowns. What will the seniors do for an encore?
"Harry and Levi both had great seasons last year," coach Kevin Cloghessy said. "I think a lot of it is due to the amount of time and effort they put into the offseason. Harry is like a coach out there for us, and Levi has really worked on his craft as far as the technique of the wide receiver position."
Senior Joe Fox, who had 603 yards and nine touchdowns last season, also gives the offense a boost from the running back position.
"Joe is a pure athlete," Cloghessy said. "He can catch out of the backfield and make big plays. He's another threat."
Port Washington's season ended in heartbreaking fashion last year, losing a 49-48 overtime thriller to Syosset in the quarterfinals. It was the Vikings' first home playoff game in program history.
"It wasn't one play within that game, where we ended on the wrong side of it. It was a bunch of different plays and moments," Cloghessy said. "We showed we handled adversity well, and now it's taking that momentum and mentality onto 2026."
Eynon is expecting big things this season.
"I want to leave the program better than I found it," he said. "We really want to leave a legacy with this town. It's on everybody's mind, and we have the firepower to do it."
