Connetquot girls volleyball raises nearly $5,000
The Connetquot High School girls volleyball program hosted a charity game Oct. 2 and raised nearly $5,000 to support the Dezy Strong Foundation. Matthew “Dezy” DiStefano, a Connetquot school district resident and the Sachem High School North assistant volleyball coach, thanked the crowd for their participation and offered inspirational advice about never giving up in his fight against cancer.
Connetquot girls volleyball Coach Justin Hertz said DiStefano’s mantra, “We Get To,” is a constant reminder of “just how precious life is, and to appreciate the little moments.”

“I am so proud of our program to be able to do our part for such a positive foundation,” Hertz said. “Dezy is an amazing man, and to tackle his battle in the way that he is, is inspiring.”
