5th Grade
Girls Gold Team
Visit Dowling
Women's Lacrosse Team
 April
2, 2011, Brookhaven, NY – The Girls of the Hills 5 Gold
Team were honored guests of Dowling Women's Lacrosse Team
during their home game vs Bridgeport CT. The Hills players
were invited to participate with the Dowling team’s on-field
introductions and were ceremoniously escorted onto the field
for the National Anthem. At half-time they once again took
to the turf for a friendly scrimmage with the girls of
Huntington 5 White. After watching Dowling dismantle their
opponent and picking up some game strategies along the way,
the girls had the opportunity to meet and mingle and grab a
few autographs after the game. Perhaps this team outing
supplied a little inspiration for our girl’s own Opening
Game the next day…
Shamrock Shootout Winners!
March, 2011 - The Hills 6th grade tournament team started
off 2011 right where they left off last year by winning the
Shamrock Shootout. The team went undefeated for the
tournament, overpowering a very good West Islip team in the
championship game by a score of 10-3. The team has won over
20 tournaments since second grade when they first came
together as a group. Last year they won seven tournaments
and hope to continue the success into this year.
