Hurricane Irene May Affect Fall Sports

No official moves have been made about Monday yet.

As of Thursday afternoon, Sachem is still scheduled to have its fall sports opening practices and tryouts on Monday, August 29.

Sachem Director of Athletics Pete Blieberg said Section XI, Suffolk County's governing body of athletics, "might pull the plug on everything so we can alert everyone before the storm actually hits."

Blieberg said he discussed a few options at coaches meeting this morning, "but communication could be an issue if the storm is really bad."

If Section XI shuts down Monday, it will affect football scrimmages on Wednesday and Friday, probably moving them to Thursday and Saturday.
