VIDEO: Sachem 7th Grader Scores Game Winner

North travel team wins big game during Lehigh Tournament last week.

The Rising 7th and 8th grade Sachem North travel team attended the Lehigh Tournament last week. During the third game, Sachem needed this win for any shot at competing in the championship game.  

The score was tied at the end of the game and to determine a winner a tiebreaker was played called a Braveheart with only four players on the field. Each team has a goalie and a face off player and the object is to win the face off and try to score in the sudden death situation.

Sachem seventh grader James Avanzato took the face off, won it and hustled down field with only the other face off man on his back. The defender hacked away, but Avanzato got a shot off and beat the opposing goalie to win it.
