CENTER MORICHES – The Center Moriches boys varsity baseball team are on a mission this year, something they have labeled as “The Quest.” That quest is to win a Long Island class B championship and then a New York State championship. Something the Red Devils haven’t accomplished since 2022 and 2019, respectively.
The boys in red and white, behind Coach Gibson, have had an outstanding season so far. Center Moriches recently finished league play with a record of 16-2 and overall 17-3. Their league play ended with three convincing wins over Mattituck and then a post season scrimmage win over Pierson.
But the journey continues and the road ahead always gets a little more narrow at this point. Center Moriches begins playoffs this week as their first test will be again Port Jefferson. Center Moriches will have home field advantage for the first round.
Center Moriches clenched a League 7 title and now have their eye on the next leg of the quest. A win over a tough Port Jefferson team would place them a step closer at a shot for the Suffolk class B title.
