Home Game Schedules Set for Ward Melville Football, Soccer and Other Sports

Written by Christine Sampson. 

Fresh off an academic year that saw Ward Melville teams win seven county, Long Island or New York state championships, the Patriots are back and ready to attack.

School returns on Sept. 9, and that same day, the boy’s soccer team, girls’ soccer team and field hockey team will kick off their schedules. The football team, which last year made its first playoff appearance in more than two decades, will play its first game on Sept. 11.
