Sachem East was 4th last week in the newsday poll. This week Sachem East isn't on the poll at all. I would love to see how these polls are decided. Sachem East plays in the toughest division on Long Island. They play 2 games against Ward Melville and Smithtown East every year. the record this year is 14 wins and 3 losses. The losses 2 to 1 against Ward Melville 1 to 0 against Ward melville in Overtime and a playoff loss to Smithtown East 1 to 0 in quadruple overtime. Also if you look at the shots on goal, Sachem East out shot every team they played this year including Ward Melville by 2 to 1 or better. I hope this poll was just an oversight and not anything else.

Hard to argue that the two teams moving on in the playoffs Ward Melville and Garden City are not the top two teams on Long Island. Port Jeff has also proven themselves worthy. SWR gave GC a good game in the playoffs. As far as shots on goal, one must put that in context. The Sachem East- Melville game had Melville out ahead early and then in a defensive posture giving SE more shots. Melville did beat them twice along with Smithtown East.

The top ten listing has been a bit scattered all season - Pierson had a fantastic record but didn't play anybody tough, took too long to recognize Rocky Pt's season, and now does a silly thing and forgets Sachem East.

Sachem East is probably the 3rd best team on Long Island behind WM and GC.
