When speaking with the Phantoms players and coaches over the summer you can tell there would be no obstacle to big for them to overcome in their pursuit of a three peat.
In a driving rain storm this week, they proved they would overcome everything with the title in sight. The Bayport-Blue Point Phantoms captured their third straight Suffolk Division IV championship with a resounding 49-21 win over Miller Place.
The Phantoms offense was electric in the rain storm led by quarterback Cooper Fuller who accounted for 243 rushing yards on 25 carries and 5 touchdowns. Fuller was unstoppable all game with highlight reel plays. None better than at midfield when he took it around the right end, breaking tackles and rumbling al the way to the end zone.
Colin Most led the defense with two key interceptions, one being at the goal line to stop a potential scoring drive before the half. The Phantoms defense held the outstanding Miller Place QB Shane Kiernan to just 74 yards through the air.
Bayport-Blue Point have now won 34 games in a row and you have to go all the way back to the Suffolk IV final in 2021 against Shoreham-Wading River to find the last loss they have had. That means this dynamic team hasn't lost a game in over 1,100 days.
The Phantoms will now move on to the Long Island Class IV championship. Last year they upended Seaford to be crowned the best team on Long Island.
