Have you seen the latest edition of the NYSPHSAA Captains Club, presented by the New York State Correctional Officers and Police Benevolent Association?

Last month we featured the Lakeland field hockey team from Section 1, the longest running dynasty in an team sport in NYSPHSAA history. The Hornets played in the state title game again in 2018, but there is more to their story than just wins and losses.

If you would like to suggest a story for a future edition of the Captains Club email Kristen Jadin.

NYSPHSAA has partnered with "Team Up 4 Community" to provide a FREE platform for students, coaches, teams, administrators, and schools to apply for the NYSPHSAA Community Service Challenge.

A challenge will take place each sports season. A team does not need to be in season to apply. The NYSPHSAA SAAC will determine a winner after each season’s submission deadline.

Winter submissions for the Community Service Challenge are now being accepted. The deadline to submit is Monday, March 4.
