The Sachem East Flaming Arrows got back on the winning track this week while defending their home turf on Homecoming weekend with a solid 27-7 defeat of Commack.

Running Back Steven Casali ran for 112 yards and two touchdowns, including a 68-yarder to open the third quarter before being sidelined with a bruised shin, according to The Sachem Report.

After Casali's departure, it was all quarterback Danny Wolff and wide receiver Brian Balsalmo, as the tandem combined for two more touchdowns with 45 and 75-yard strikes in the second half.
