Coaches Reach Milestone Win Marks

Three Sachem coaches receive recognition by Board of Education for success in their respective sports.

At this week's Board of Education meeting, coaches Dave Falco, Tom Gambino and Sean O'Hara were recognized by Athletic Director Pete Blieberg and the board members for reaching a milestone number of wins as head coaches.

Gambino, the Sachem North Baseball coach, and O'Hara the Sachem East Wrestling coach, were honored for racking up 100 career wins. Falco, the Sachem North Football coach was acknowledged for his 50th career win. The milestone for football recognition by the New York State Coaches Association is set lower because of the significantly fewer games played in a regular football season.

Falco was the only coach able to attend the board meeting to receive his certificate; Gambino was home with an illness and O'Hara was coaching wrestling practice at the time.
