Longwood's Defense on Full Display


Coach Sean Kluber | @Coach_Kluber | X

Longwood moved to 4-1 this season with a comfortable win over Sachem East 35-7.

It was a defensive show for Longwood this weekend as their defense suffocated anything that Sachem East tried to do.

Davien Benjamin-Sheffey led the way both on offense and defense, but it was his three tackles and two pass breakups that set the tone of the day on D. Coach Kluber called him the best player you might not know about, but everyone is starting to know the name now.

He wasn't alone with the big plays shutting down Sachem East as Kaden Reid picked off two passes, two interceptions while Makai Bell was in the QB's face all day and was rewarded with a sack.

In all, the Longwood defense forced four turnovers on the day.

On offense, they kept the ball on the ground with over 200 yards rushing led by Benjamin-Sheffey, but eight different players carried the ball for the offense in a complete team effort behind the great, & up-front blocking.

Is There a New Ace in Town?

The New York Mets have a new ace, and fantasy owners have been accustomed to viewing Freddy Peralta as a near-ace for some time. The move to a more pitcher-friendly park should help, but do not overreach, because the reality is that the lineup around him is roughly the same and the bullpen is likely worse at protecting his leads. Peralta has been a standout for years, and slotting him in as a high-value fantasy arm is easy. The question is just how high he should go.
