Babylon's Devyn Antolini Signs Letter of Intent to Marquette

Star lacrosse player will attend Marquette University in Wisconsin in 2013.

Babylon High School senior attacker Devyn Antolini signed a National Letter of Intent on November 15th to play lacrosse at Marquette University.

A standout multi-sport athlete at Babylon, Antolini notched at least one goal or assist in each of the Lady Panthers’ 17 lacrosse games last season, and she is expected to make an immediate impact for Marquette’s offense when she joins the team next year.

Antolini’s superb field vision and prowess on offense helped guide the Lady Panthers to the Suffolk Class C semifinals last year, as she tallied a team-high in points on five separate occasions. She is also an exceptional talent on the basketball court.

Antolini is excited to join a Marquette Golden Eagles women’s lacrosse team that is heading into its first regular season in program history. Marquette is using its inaugural season to see how it stacks up against top-level national competition, and the team is slated to join the Big East Conference full-time in 2014.

“It’s a new program that has a great coaching staff,” Antolini said on her decision to sign with Marquette. “I’m very excited to play at the next level. I also decided to attend Marquette because I loved the campus and its superb academic offerings.”

As I explained, my post was made on behalf of another village resident. However, I did take theRead More time to read the statute and do have an independent viewpoint on this subject. While I do not feel that all dogs require a muzzle at all times, if you have a dog that you know to be a threat to other dogs or humans, you would have a duty to take measures to eliminate that threat before bring that dog into public. If that measure is a muzzle, then that's what must be done. As my post indicated, I believe strict enforcement would be exceedingly difficult and, perhaps, unnecessary (at least with respect to the muzzle requirement). However, a total lack of enforcement is dangerous and unacceptable. I think a little common sense goes a long way and I have confidence that those charged with enforcing the Village code could do so selectively. I understand that selective enforcement may be a concept that many feel uncomfortable with. However, just because the law requires a muzzle, that is hardly a reason to disregard it in its entirety and allow dogs with vicious propensities to roam around unleashed. I will leave it up to Village lawmakers to remove the muzzle requirement (and suggest that they do so) if that is what it would take to make people comfortable with the leash requirement.
