Bellport golfer reaches new heights


Justin Sorrentino | South Country Central School District

Bellport High School’s Justin Sorrentino, who has been a standout member of the school’s golf team, is making his mark on the course and earning recognition as one of the top young golfers in Suffolk County, and the entire island. 

This season, Sorrentino finished with All-County and All-League honors. He put up one of the lowest stroke averages in competition play. His consistent play and calm demeanor under pressure have made him a leader for the Bellport High School team and the school itself both on and off the course.

Under his leadership, the Bellport golf team advanced to its first Suffolk County Team Championship appearance in three seasons. The last time Bellport went to the Championship was back in 2022, so this is a major milestone for the program. Competing against some of the best golfers in the region, Sorrentino also earned a spot in the Suffolk County Individual Golf Finals at Pine Hills Country Club, where he finished among the top 20 players overall.

Recognized by his coaches and teammates as the team’s Most Valuable Player, Sorrentino has been the driving force behind Bellport’s return to prominence. His work ethic, precision, and sportsmanship exemplify what it means to be a Bellport athlete.

Off the golf course, Sorrentino is equally dedicated to his academics and community. Balancing schoolwork, practice, and tournament play, he continues to set an example for younger teammates and represents the values of commitment and integrity that define Bellport athletics.

Sorrentino’s accomplishments have brought pride to Bellport High School and the South Country Central School District, and his success has inspired future student-athletes to pursue excellence. With his talent, leadership, and determination, there is no doubt that Sorrentino’s golf career is only just beginning — and his name will be one to watch in the years ahead.
