It has been a tough year to be a Sachem North Basketball fan as the Flaming Arrows can’t seem to figure out their game at all this year as they currently sit at 2-6 and were just embarrassed at home by unbeaten Bay Shore this past week.
Sachem never led and were held to just six points in the first quarter and seven points in the third quarter as they couldn’t buy a bucket against the Marauders as well with the final score being an ugly total for the Arrows as they lost 84-35.
The Arrows had no answer for the big three of Bay Shore as Christian Smiley, Carter Wilson and Tashawn Bumpers all had double figure point totals and made it look easy in the process.
Smiley would lead all scorers in this one as he dropped 22 points in this contest. Wilson would add 17 points while his teammate Bumpers had 11 points in the victory where they probably would have scored more if they played deeper into the game.
Sachem had a hard time getting open looks while also not having a single player even get close to double-figure points. They were unfortunately outmatched and had little to no chance of making this a game at any point in time.
In the defense of Sachem North, Bay Shore is currently unbeaten in Suffolk League 2 and they look like one of the favorites to cut down the nets at the end of the year as they look like a legit threat on the Statewide Level. They have been beating down on both bad and good teams this year and it was a tough ask to get a win against the well-rounded juggernaut.
Jack Chimenti led the Arrows with six points while no one else scored more than five in the game for the Varsity Team.
Unfortunately for Sachem, the schedule won’t get any easier and it may become a disastrous final stretch as they were unable to beat Connetquot over the weekend and the upcoming games against Northport, Lindenhurst, and Copiague this upcoming week doesn’t offer up any hope of a win anytime soon.
