Conference Record: 3-5
Division: Section XI Division I
Final Standing: 9th place out of 14 teams

Season Summary

The Sachem North Flaming Arrows faced a challenging 2024 season in one of Section XI’s most competitive divisions. Despite finishing with a losing record, the Arrows were competitive in several games and demonstrated flashes of resilience and growth throughout the season.

Key wins in conference play gave them a 3–5 league record, enough to place them ahead of Patchogue-Medford, Brentwood, Central Islip, and Riverhead. However, inconsistency on both sides of the ball kept them from making a deeper postseason run.

Highlights

• Defensive development: While giving up points in high-scoring games, the defense showed steady improvement against stronger offenses.
• Emerging talent: A young core of underclassmen gained valuable reps and experience heading into 2025.
• Close margins: Several of their six losses were by narrow margins, hinting at the program’s potential under pressure.

Next Steps

With a relatively young roster and a strong JV pipeline, Sachem North is poised to rebound in 2025. Improved offensive execution and consistency in the secondary will be key areas to watch
