SWR's offense explodes before the half

Shoreham-Wading River wasted no time getting on the scoreboard early and often this week in their dominant win over Port Jefferson.

The Cats put on a show for their home fans this Halloween night when they exploded for three first-quarter touchdowns and added three more in the second to take a commanding 42-0 halftime lead. Not much was needed after that to secure the victory, cruising to a 49-6 final score.

This was the fourth time this season the Wildcats have scored at least seven touchdowns in a game. They put up 50 points in a loss to Kings Park, also had 52 against Hampton Bays, and their high-water mark came on opening day when they dropped 60 points on Center Moriches.

Star quarterback Noah Gregorek was outstanding once again, needing just six completions to throw for three touchdowns. The dual-threat star wasn’t done there — he also ran for over 100 yards and two more scores, finishing the day with five total touchdowns.

Four different players caught touchdown passes, with George Greene leading the way with three receptions and a score. Greene also made a major impact on defense, returning an interception for a touchdown.

Collin Abrams and Gavin Cleary each hauled in one catch for a touchdown, while Anthony Mullen added a rushing score to cap off the offensive explosion.

In total, six Wildcats carried the ball as Shoreham-Wading River piled up over 200 rushing yards on the day. The balance and efficiency of their offense have made them one of the most dangerous teams in the county heading into the postseason.

Shoreham-Wading River will now look to finish the regular season strong when they travel to Mt. Sinai for a highly anticipated Friday night showdown. A win there would give the Wildcats major momentum heading into playoff play.

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.
