Suffolk County has not one, not two, not three, but four different Cheerleading Champions after a wildly successful New York State Championship weekend. 

At the NYSPHSAA Competitive Cheerleading Championships at the Visions Veterans Memorial Arena Suffolk County, and the Town of Brookhaven, showed the rest of the state how purely dominant they can be. 

Sachem East took home the title in the Class A division. The Arrows have now won two titles in a row up in Binghamton. The team is made up of 11 seniors, including the pair of Aghabekian sisters, who lead the squad. This squad have won the Suffolk County Championship three out of the last four years in addition to their now back-to-back titles. 

Rocky Point Cheerleading won the Class B championship. This was the second championship in the school's history. Their Head coach, Samantha Ferrara, was actually on that team that won it back in 2019. In the win they earned the highest score from the morning session. The squad is compiled of just 6 seniors, which means we should see them doing even more winning in the future. 

The Class C title was won by Shoreham-Wading River. This is the school's first state title. In addition to the state championship they have also won the Suffolk County title four times. 

To finish off the dominance of Suffolk County the Ward Melville Co-Ed team also won their state championship. This is the Patriots’ second consecutive Co-Ed title and third championship in a row. The Patriots won their second county title just last month.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
