Bellport Remebers Coach Chavious With a Win


Coach Chavious and friends | @Bellportfb | X

It was an emotional day for Bellport football that began with tears but ended with cheers.

Bellport held it's home opener this weekend and it was a somber day to begin because they were remembering their fallen coach. Sean Chavious, a former Bellport assistant coach and player lost his life on July 29th of this ear at just 47 years old.

Chavious was a part of the 1992 Long Island Class II championship-winning team and he is a Bellport High School Football Hall of Famer. After his playing career he coached for the past 19 seasons with Bellport. Chavious’ 7-year-old son, Decker, was an honorary captain and the field adorned his old jersey number 34.

As the game began it was a fitting way to honor his legacy with not only a win but the game's standout player wore his number in rememberance. Defensive end Jaheim Talford knocked a ball down at the goal line at the end of the game to seal the win for Bellport.

The defense was the key all day as they won 7-0 over Northport.The only score was a rushing touchdown on a breakaway rush by Kingston John. Northport had a chance to tie late in the 4th a few times but Trey’von Holland picked off a pass and kept the shutout alive.

Bellport moved to 2-1 and now will face Copiague on Saturday.
