You literally could not ask for a better opening than what Sachem East had this weekend.
Not only was Sachem East victorious with a 35-18 final over Riverhead, but the way they started might be the most impressive start to a game you'll ever see.
Sachem got on the board early and often and lead 35-0 after the first quarter.
Sachem scored and scored and got contributions from all over the field in their hot start. Six different players carried the ball with Logan Perotti leading the way with 5 carries for just under 100 yards. He also added two TD runs in the first quarter. Ryan Lane and Cody Quinlivan also added early scores in the route. Lane didn't need to do much throwing, but he did add a TD pass to his stats sheet.
Dom Marchitto, the four-sport star who is a nominee for Sports Illustrated's Player of the Year was busy nailing all five of his extra points.
Next up for Sachem East will be a visit from Longwood, while Riverhead will try to get back on track against on the road against Central Islip.
