Sachem To Play William Floyd in County Final

Sachem has a chance to go on the ultimate revenge quest next Friday.

The top-seeded Flaming Arrows will officially play No. 2 William Floyd in the Suffolk County Division I championship, a rematch of last year's game in which Sachem lost, 27-6, at Stony Brook University.

Sachem (10-0) beat No. 5 Northport, 42-21, Friday night. Floyd (8-2), who lost to Sachem once already this season, beat Longwood, 26-22, in the other semifinal Saturday afternoon.

Sachem has appeared in 14 county finals in its history and has won six - it's most recent in 1995, the same year the Arrows made their first and only appearance in the Long Island Championship.
