We played well. We pitched well, we hit well and we started a lot of underclassmen. We had some big years from guys.” Every season sees...
Where Are They Now Powered by Complete Sports Performance: Shawn Fagan
(Editor’s Note: This is the third installment of the ‘Where Are They Now’ series in which we highlight standout players from the past. Previously, we featured Mike Ambort and Kraig Binick. Thanks to Complete Sports Performance for sponsoring this year’s series.) There was no local indoor training facility to do winter workouts. There wasn’t even a batting cage in the school. Legendary coach Doug Robins was resourceful, though. He found an area in the boiler room to hang tarp and he used tennis balls that were donated to the team. That was all they needed. They swung until their hands bled. That is the grittiness that separated Levittown Division from just about every other program. During their peak years in the 1990s, they won 47 consecutive games, back-to-ba...

Frank Carey High School, and he is looking forward to another season of competitive baseball for the Seahawks. “In 2024 we played a very tough schedule in playing Division, Garden City, Calhoun, New Hyde Park, and Roslyn.” Robins said. “We finished in 3rd place and were one game away from the first place team in the standings. We played in 5 Eli...

Carey Looks to Use Athleticism to Make Another Playoff Run

Carey finished the league with a record of 15-2-1 and handed Calhoun their only conference loss on a game in which we covered. Overall, they finished with a record of 16-4-1. They had some outstanding performances, including the League MVP – CF Teagan Graham. He batted an even .500 for the season, stole 14 bases and coach said he had the only R...
