The Sachem East field hockey team has once again proven its dominance, securing its second consecutive Long Island championship and doing so with a perfect record against Long Island opponents. This season has been a testament to the program’s consistency, resilience, and high-level play, and this latest victory only reinforced their standing as one of the top teams in New York State.

Sachem East remained unbeaten, improving to 19-0 after defeating Massapequa, 2-0, in the Long Island Class A Championship/Southeast Regional Final on its home field this weekend. The win highlighted the team’s impressive defensive structure and disciplined execution, both of which have been hallmarks of their undefeated campaign. The team has allowed just 4 goals in 19 games and no team has scored even two on them. 

Josie Dee put Sachem East on the board in the second quarter, capitalizing on sustained offensive pressure to give the Flaming Arrows the early lead they were seeking. Dee later assisted Brooke Wasson, who delivered the decisive insurance goal in the fourth quarter to secure the championship and energize the home crowd.

With the Long Island title secured, Sachem East now advances to the NYS Class A semifinals, where they will face Mamaroneck Saturday at Arlington High School. The matchup is expected to be one of the most competitive of the tournament, with both teams entering the semifinals with strong resumes and a deep commitment to pushing toward a state title.

Sachem East continues its remarkable pursuit of a state championship, driven by teamwork, veteran leadership, and the unwavering work ethic that has defined this historic season. As they prepare for the next challenge, the Flaming Arrows remain focused, confident, and motivated by the Sachem pride that has powered their undefeated run and placed them on the brink of another monumental achievement.

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.
