West Islip Lions football team scores with good deeds

The West Islip High School football team was honored by the Town of Islip for its recent good deeds.

The squad’s players visited Good Samaritan Hospital, spending time talking and playing with the children in the pediatrics wing. And last month, the team wore custom jerseys to show support for local veterans.

This season, the team named West Islip resident Vincent Luvera, who is autistic, manager of the varsity football squad and presented him with a team jersey.
