The Sachem North vs. Sachem East rivalry remains one of the best in Suffolk County, and this year’s matchup was extra special as it was featured as the Orlin & Cohen Rockline Wealth Management Game of the Week in Suffolk.
Because of that distinction, the entire game was broadcast live on TD Sports and streamed on YouTube, giving fans everywhere a chance to experience the excitement.
Sachem North wasted no time showing who would control the day. The team jumped out to an early 7-0 lead before exploding for 24 points in the second quarter. By halftime, North had built a commanding 31-7 advantage. The pace slowed in the second half, with Sachem East scoring the only touchdown after the break.
Quarterback Luke LaRocca was outstanding, completing 9 of 12 passes for more than 200 yards and three touchdowns, leading Sachem North to improve its record to 4-2.
Lucas Bouchard was the primary target, catching four passes for 120 yards, while LaRocca spread the ball around efficiently, connecting with five different receivers throughout the game.
The ground attack was balanced as well, with six different players recording rushing yards. LaRocca capped his stellar day by adding a rushing touchdown to his stat line.
It was a complete team effort for Sachem — dominance through the air, contributions from multiple players, and a defense that set the tone early and held strong late.
Next up for North is a road trip to Longwood, followed by their season finale back home against Central Islip on Halloween night.
With momentum on their side, the Flaming Arrows look to finish their season strong.
East will have two more game to try to finish the season with a .500 record. Next week they take on Pat-Med before ending their year on the road against Ward Melville.
