Last year, the Vikings enjoyed a spectacular 10-2 season that included an upset victory over Plainedge in the Nassau Conference IV championship game.

Seaford’s memorable season came to an end with a tough loss to Bayport-Blue Point in the Long Island Class IV championship game and now the goal for 2026 is to do it all over again.

But this time, finish the season with a L.I. title is the goal.

MacArthur’s football season preseason kicked off with a bit of a curveball and the end of an era.

Bobby Fehrenach, who had served as MacAthur’s head coach for the past 28 years, retired from his longtime position after the first day of practice, leaving behind a legacy on Old Jerusalem Road that included 151 wins and two county championships. Steve Fazzolari, MacArthur’s defensive coordinator for the past 20 seasons, was named the Generals’ new head coach Aug. 26 and will be looking to carry forward the legacy of Fehrenach’s success on and off the field.
