All eyes on Long Island will be on the Pat-Med<\/strong> Raiders in 2025. Speaking of the number 25, head coach Anthony Frascogna<\/strong> will be entering his 25th year in charge of the Raiders. In his 24th season, Frascogna looked back on what he believed was a strong season for his team.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe played well.\u201d Frascgona said. \u201cWe made the playoffs, finished 12-11 overall. We won a playoff game and then we got knocked out by William Floyd.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year’s Raiders team featured six seniors who started on varsity, with a number of them continuing to play ball in college. Including <\/span>Rob Melo<\/b> who is playing at Army, <\/span>David Granucci <\/b>who\u2019s at SUNY Maritime and <\/span>Nick Cadolino <\/b>who\u2019s playing at SUNY Polytechnic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, the Pat-Med Raiders are perhaps getting the biggest addition of anyone on Long Island. After attending Stony Brook Prep and IMG Academy, the Raiders are getting superstar Duke-commit <\/span>Jayden Stroman. <\/b>Stroman is the brother of New York Yankees pitcher Marcus Stroman<\/strong>. He is widely regarded as one of the top prospects in the state, and Frascogna is excited to have him back in the Pat-Med fold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
