Sachem East is looking to make program history by starting a season 4-0 for the first time. Their next opponent is Ward Melville, who was hammered last week by Floyd and narrowly beat Brentwood the previous week.
That being said, Ward Melville will have a difficult time controlling Sachem East, easily one of the hottest teams on Long Island in terms of morale and internal emotional strength.
Oh, and then there's Steven Casali. The man child as he was referred to as a sophomore, has grown into one of the best backs in Suffolk County and will continue to carry this team on his back.
