After losing nine players to graduation, the Hampton Bays boys basketball team, which fell to Babylon in the first round of last year’s Suffolk County Class B playoffs, is in rebuilding mode this season.
Luke Mercurio was arguably the Baymen’s best player last season, but was one of those who graduated and he is now playing ball at Queens College. Perry Friscia also graduated as did Steve Peralta, Will Calamita, Alex Boyer, Estarley Aguero, Dylan George, Dan Martel and Kevin Hendrickson. That leaves Hampton Bays with just four holdovers from last season.
The only two returning starters are seniors Justin Carbone and Harry Fotopoulos. Carbone earned All-League honors while running the point guard position last season and should play that position again this year. Fotopoulos will again be a starting forward.
