The Elwood-John H. Glenn High School boys soccer team were named county champions on Nov. 5, defeating Kings Park 4-3 in a tense Section XI Class A championship game at Diamond in the Pines in Coram. The Kingsmen scored three goals in the game’s final 12 minutes of the game, erasing a Glenn four-goal lead, but the Knights andvgoalie Tyler Ziminiski withstood the pressure to take the title. It was the top-seeded Knights first county title since 2007, after 16 consecutive playoff appearances. They moved on to the Long Island championship, losing a tough game to Floral Park on Nov. 8 at Farmingdale State College.

“I am extremely proud of the accomplishments of this year’s team,” coach Lou Hanner said. “Winning the league championship, the Suffolk championship, then advancing to the Long Island championship was a culmination of hard work put in by both the players and coaches alike.”
