Rocco Carpinello was the opener and the closer for the West Islip football team. The senior halfback scored on an 82-yard run on the Lions first possession and his 33-yard dash up the middle with 4:31 remaining broke a tie and sent West Islip to a 21-14 win over Bellport in a Suffolk Division II game played Thursday in Bellport. In between those two long touchdowns, Carpinello scored on a 39-yard run in the second quarter to give the Lions a 14-0 lead. He finished with 195 yards on 13 carries and scored all three Lions touchdowns.
