In game battles: It's difficult to get a read on Brentwood. They won their last game, 20-0 over Patchogue-Medford, but played below average for most of the 2011 season. Now, however, Brentwood is actually fighting for a possible playoff birth in Division I if it wins the final two games and other teams lose. Chris Green is a threat at running back for the Indians. For Sachem, Dalton Crossan will be playing like a man possessed from now until the end of the season.

Next up: Sachem travels to Lindenhurst, Friday, October 28 at 7 p.m. for the final regular season game of 2011.
