Louis Perfetto Q&A, Shippin’ Up to Boston
Louis Perfetto graduated Manhasset High School in 2019, and he had a truly exceptional senior season. Louis led the Manhasset Indians to a 17-3 record including going undefeated in conference play. Perfetto played remarkably well putting in 40 goals to go with 23 assists and leading his team to the state semifinals. A heartbreaking loss up in Albany, meant an end to their season but the ride was still unforgettable. Now playing at Boston University, the Long Island native took some time to answer a few questions for us as he prepares for his first season of college lacrosse.

Kendall Halpern Q&A w/ the Syosset Star
Kendall Halpern, the “studlete” from Syosset, is embarking on her senior season. Before she gears up for lacrosse Kendall will dawn her soccer cleats and basketball sneakers for one last go around. Halpern, a four year varsity soccer player has made the Nassau all-county team. Last season she was a member of Syosset’s first ever county championship squad. A fantastic soccer player, Kendall was MVP of the county tournament. During her junior hoops season she averaged nearly 12 points and led Syosset to an undefeated regular season in conference play. The Braves lost to eventual champion Baldwin in the playoffs, so Halpern and her teammates enter this season with a massive chip on their shoulders.
