Massapequa’s season started with two surprising defeats, losing to both Port Washington and Hicksville by two goals.
But since that start, the preseason favorite has been absolutely awesome. Massapequa’s strong play continued this week, beating Hicksville 5-0, Farmingdale 3-2 and Chaminade 1-0 in a tremendous non-league matchup late in the season. In Massapequa’s last nine games, it is 7-0-2.
“I think we’ve been playing well the entire season, and now we’re getting the results that we want,” Massapequa coach Keith Stanley said. “I was pleased with the way we played early on when we didn’t get some of the results we wanted and I haven’t always been pleased with how we’ve played in all our wins. But we are getting good results.”
Massapequa and Port Washington (8-0-1 Conference AA-I) appear to be on a collision course to play in the Class AA Nassau final.
