In the NFL, last weekend represented Week 11 of the regular season. In the college ranks, rankings and bowl seeds were what was at stake. Closer to home, the Garden City Trojans waged an epic battle against the rival Wantagh Warriors over the Nassau Conference-II County Championship and a chance to represent Nassau in the Long Island Championship game against Suffolk top dog Riverhead on Saturday, Dec. 1 at Stony Brook. The Trojans wound up winners last Sunday by a score of 21-17 (further details can be read about it in Vinnie Messana’s excellent cover story for this issue). Major kudos go to Head Coach Tom Flatley, who led his squad to a 10-1 record on the way to capturing its fourth consecutive Nassau County title and Flatley’s 18th while vying for the coach’s fifth Long Island championship. It is yet another of many prestigious accomplishments that have been produced by the Garden City School District’s acclaimed athletic program, which is only rivaled by the district’s esteemed academic curriculum.
