Sachem North’s first round football playoff game originally scheduled for Friday night, will now be played Saturday at 7 p.m.
This sets up a Sachem football doubleheader with No. 6 Sachem East (4-4) playing on the road at No. 3 Northport (6-2) starting at 2 p.m., and No. 2 Sachem North (6-2) hosting Bay Shore (4-4) at Fred Fusaro Alumni Stadium at 7 p.m.
Since Sachem Schools are closed Monday and Tuesday this week due to the impending story and state of emergency, this hinders practice sessions during the week. An extra day to prepare will help Sachem North and Bay Shore.
“We need to take it day-by-day to see what we are allowed to do,” said Sachem North head coach Dave Falco. “The coaches are getting their work done at home with the use of Hudl, [a football video submission system to review film]. We really don’t know if we will be able to have a practice until Wednesday. But all schools are in same boat. Hopefully not literally.”
