The Stony Brook School Locked and Loaded for Another Strong Season
by Max Edelman Special thanks to Metamorphosis Landscape Design for sponsoring this year’s season preview series. For a team loaded with talent, the Stony Brook Bears are hoping to take the next step in 2024 and become champions. Led by third-year head coach Jon Brewer, Brewer believes that after last year, this team has what it takes to go even further this year and win a state championship. “Last season was good.” Brewer said. “It was my second year here, and the second year of building the program. We had a really good year last year, we ended up going to the state championship and losing to Poly Prep 2-1 in the bottom of the seventh. We were disappointed, but overall, it was a good second year. I’m very happy with that next step we took.” The 2023 Bears only had two seniors, whic...

The Stony Brook School Quickly Building A Dangerous Program
From a League 9 school just three years ago to a fully-independent program that features some of the top players in their graduating classes, it’s been a transformative time for The Stony Brook School Bears. The private school was founded in 1922, but if you ask most Long Islanders, they probably didn’t know the school existed. Despite remaining low-profile, they are soon to be a force to be reckoned with on the baseball field. I went down to their workout on Saturday morning, and you can see this is a program that will be very dangerous for the next several years. They may have some growing pains, as many of their impact players are still underclassmen and there is not yet enough kids in the program to develop a JV team. Here is the composition of their roster: 6’7 RHP L...
Stony Brook HS Doubles Up Smithtown Christian 14-7
Two shorthanded teams squared off this afternoon in Smithtown. Stony Brook arrived with exactly nine players, and Smithtown Christian lost two starters to injuries during warm ups. Stony Brook starter Joe Wozny opened up the scoring in the top of the first with a two-run double to left. A single by clean-up hitter Ben Tutuska added one more, and a misplayed grounder turned it into a 4-0 game. Wozny took to the mound in the next inning and gave up two runs, one on a single to Giuseppe Crilly, and another on a fielders choice with the bases loaded. However, the hard-throwing freshman settled down and pitched an threw three no-hit innings after the difficult first, striking out nine batters before sliding over to third base in the fifth. After the game he said, “In the first inning I ha...
