Sachem alum Jason Kling ’01, a Commanding Officer in the U.S. Coast Guard, addressed the Sachem North football team before their Week 1 matchup against Ward Melville. He also served as honorary captain during the pre-game coin toss.
This was part of a larger game theme to honor Sachem Football alumni who have attended U.S. Service Academies.
Besides Kling, who attended and played football at the Coast Guard Academy, Sachem has had eight other former football players attend West Point, Naval Academy, and Air Force Academy, respectively.
The next Sachem player to commit is senior Lucas Singleton, who will play at Army next year.
The Sachem Football program and the Sachem Alumni Association partnered on the experience and printed a canvas featuring the alumni that will hang in the weight room.
We salute these men for their service:
-Jared Brush ‘01 – Air Force Academy
-Bob DeMange ‘78 – West Point
-Joe Faiella ‘96 – West Point
-Chris Golini ‘92 – Naval Academy
-Mike Hennessy ‘96 – Coast Guard Academy
-Eduardo Juguetta ‘90 – West Point
-Jason Kling ‘01 – Coast Guard Academy
-Sean O’Brien ‘15 – West Point
-Ed Stephens ‘83 – Naval Academy
