Every game is a must-win situation for Sachem East at this point. With a 1-4 record the Arrows will need a mark of 4-4 or 3-5 at the very least to even think about a lower playoff spot, and postseason is the goal.

Coming off a 13-0 loss to Longwood last week on homecoming, Sachem East will travel to Ward Melville for Week 6 on Saturday afternoon. The Patriots are 2-3 this season and coming off a loss to William Floyd.

At this point, Sachem East needs more offensive production to win ball games. The defense has played soundly and kept the Arrows in games down to the wire.

Will Sachem East turn it around with enough time left?
