The William Floyd High School varsity football team are perfect once again. The team led by head coach Paul Longo, finished the 2025 regular season with a perfect 8-0 record as they continue to set the standard for excellence in Suffolk County.
This time they ended the season at home with a decisive 35-0 victory over Walt Whitman this past Saturday. With the win, the Colonials earned the Division I championship for the remarkable 17th time in program history and also secured their 26th consecutive playoff berth for the school, another impressive number.
They weren't done with the accolades there as they claimed the No. 1 overall seed in the Section XI playoff bracket, ensuring the road to the Suffolk County Championship once again runs through Mastic Beach.
This will be a tremendous advantage as the Colonials aim to capture their third straight and 16th overall county championship in program history. They will host a first-round playoff game at the Lincoln Avenue Sports Complex on Saturday, November 8, at 12 p.m., against No. 8 Sachem East—a team they defeated earlier this season, 34-0.
William Floyd’s win over Walt Whitman marked another dominant defensive performance, their fourth shutout of the year. Junior Derek Glock opened the game with an interception, setting up the offense for an early score. Senior Ja’Quan Thomas capitalized on the very next play with a touchdown run, later adding three more rushing touchdowns and finishing with 205 yards and a sack on defense. Senior Aisays Wallace added a rushing touchdown, while Jayden Johnson, Jake Rivera, and Aidan Williams combined for six team sacks in the victory.
The game also served as Senior Day for the football team, varsity cheerleaders, and the Rockettes, honoring all senior student-athletes in a heartfelt pregame ceremony surrounded by family, friends, and fans.
