Hosts Gia Patane and Maxwell Gold take a closer look at how Roslyn High School is striking a balance between its academic and athletic programs. Over the years, many of Roslyn’s sports teams have been overlooked due to Roslyn’s excellent performance in the classroom.
In the last decade or so, RHS sports have focused on building long-term programs that aim to develop students’ athletic abilities and team chemistry. This has led to multiple conference championships and playoff wins. This episode highlights the Roslyn Boys Varsity Lacrosse program and how they competed against the Manhasset Boys’ Lacrosse team, one of the top programs in the country, in an exciting and memorable playoff match, marking a new beginning for Roslyn Athletics as a whole.
Coach Sorenson, who has helmed the program for nearly two decades, concentrates on cultivating a culture of dedication, accountability, and camaraderie with the aim of competing with the best teams in the country.
“It would’ve been nice to win,” said Coach Sorenson about the playoff game. “But losing by 1 or 2 to one of the best premiere teams is pretty good.”
