“Be proud of yourselves,” Massapequa High School Principal Barbara Lowell told 31 student-athletes at their letter of intent signing ceremony on Nov. 8. The room was packed with proud parents, siblings and coaches, there to see the current Chiefs commit to the next chapter in their lives.
The fall ceremony featured senior athletes who play baseball, lacrosse, soccer, softball and volleyball finalize their plans to play at the collegiate level. In less than a year, they will don uniforms for college and university teams on Long Island, across New York State and throughout the country.
