Huntington Closes In On County Title

The will try to add another title to its trophy case on Wednesday when they face off against Shoreham-Wading River in Wednesday's Suffolk County Class B final.

The Blue Devil program is no stranger to Class B county championship games. They won county and Long Island titles in 2005, 2006, and 2007. They added state championships in 2005 and 2006.

As the stars of those teams moved on to star for college programs, the Huntington program tried to re-build. They missed the playoffs in each of the three seasons following the 2007 season, but erased those disappointments this year with a fifth-place finish in the regular season. They got to the county championship with road playoff wins over and defending County champion , who finished the regular season unbeaten.

The Shoreham-Wading River program is no stranger to these games, either. They won seven consecutive Class C county championships between 2001 and 2007 and added state titles in 2002 and 2007. The Wildcats went 12-2 in the 2011 regular season.

Tomorrow's meeting is the second between Huntington and Shoreham-Wading River on the season. The host Wildcats topped the Blue Devils 10-9 on May 5.

The Class B Championship will take place at Stony Brook University. The game starts at 5:30.
