The points came at a dizzying pace at the end of the first half. And those points all belonged to West Islip and came as fast and as hard as the torrential bands of rain that hovered over the West Babylon football field. West Islip halfback Rocco Carpinello scored on a 3-yard run with 3:34 left in the half and set off a string of three consecutive touchdowns. The flurry of points enabled West Islip to break open a one-point game and submerge West Babylon, 34-6, in a Suffolk Division II football game played in brutal conditions Saturday afternoon.
