Senior quarterback Steven Ferreira played a huge role in the Golden Flashes victory over Islip Friday night, completing 11 of 21 passes for 194 yards and 2 touchdowns.
The second, coming during a play in which Ferreira fumbled the ball, but quickly recovered to find an open Thomas Hannan for a 68 yard TD pass. John Haggart also had a very strong performance rushing 18 times for a solid 117 yards and 2 touchdowns.
In the fourth quarter with the Golden Flashes up 21-14 and the ball at the Islip 48 yard line, Haggart ran a burst up the sideline for a touchdown, putting Sayville up two touchdowns and never looking back. Islip did not get many opportunities after that, and Sayville followed with a 4 yard run, to make it what would be the final score of Sayville 35 – Islip 14.
