The William Floyd High School boys’ varsity soccer team spent part of their summer participating in the 2025 Town of Brookhaven summer soccer league. The league provided the student-athletes with a chance to play competitive matches ahead of the upcoming fall season, where they will seek their 11th consecutive postseason appearance. Competing in this league also allowed the Colonials to face several teams that they are scheduled to play during the fall, including League I rivals.
The Colonials entered this summer as defending champions of the Town of Brookhaven summer league. While they did not repeat last year’s championship win, they maintained a competitive presence throughout the season.
The team is led by head coach Paul Paniccia and assistant coach Mike Podstupka, along with summer coaches Tony Guma, Lou Maurino, and Evan Meinke. The roster features Ryan Alvarez, Geovanni Calderon, Jhonny Calle, Jeferson Gomez, Esteven Gonzales, Johnathan Gonzalez, Darren Heitman, Justin Horne, Yael Jara, Michael Jara, Christian Jones, Ray Lampiasi, Jacobo Linares, Max Maurina, James McGrady, Jack Meyer, Joseph Mione, Daniel Palta, Kevin Ramos, Darwin Redondo, Fernando Redondo, Douglas Rios, Isai Rios, Christopher Rubio, Randy Salamanca, Caeleb Schultz, Aiden Tessatorre and Myles Von Brook.
In addition to playing in the summer league games, the varsity boys’ soccer team hosted a youth clinic during July for students in grades K-5 interested in soccer. The clinic was run by Coach Paniccia and members of the varsity squad. According to organizers: “It was a fun experience for the elementary school students and a great opportunity for the varsity team to help inspire and educate the William Floyd Colonials of the future!”
“Good luck in the fall!”
