Babylon Playoff Game Moved to Monday

Suffolk Championship games pushed back after Stony Brook Seawolves host FCS playoff game.

The Babylon Panthers will have to wait an extra day to take on the Mount Sinai Mustangs for the Suffolk County Championship after Stony Brook University made the Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs.

The No. 1 Panthers (10-0) were scheduled to play the No. 2 Mustangs on Sunday at 4 p.m. after Babylon won their game Saturday over . However, the Stony Brook University Seawolves were selected to host an opening round game of the FCS Playoffs, pitting their team against Villanova University on Saturday evening.

Babylon and Mt. Sinai will now face off on Monday evening at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium for the Suffolk County Division IV Championship at 6 p.m. The game will cost $6 for entry.

The winner of the game will face Nassau County's Division IV champion for the Long Island Championship the next week.

The college game, which was in question due to a Stony Brook loss earlier this season, was announced on Sunday afternoon in a country-wide selection ceremony. The Seawolves are 9-2 this season, including 5-1 in the Big South Division.

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.
