Banged-up Seaford Vikings out for more after losing LI Championship last year
Seaford’s defending Nassau County champions are aiming for another Long Island title run after losing last year’s championship 20-19 to Bayport-Blue Point on a record 47-yard walk-off field goal. The Vikings enter the Conference IV playoffs hoping to turn a season of narrow defeats and injuries into a repeat of last year’s strong campaign.
Seaford is 5-3 and the No. 3 seed, with all three losses by three points or fewer; it faces 6-2 North Shore on Friday. The team has dealt with injuries to 12 players, while junior quarterback Finn Curry says its defence and offence have improved. The Vikings recorded three more shutouts than last year and hope to reach possible rematches with Lynbrook and Floral Park, both of whom beat them during the regular season.
In short
- Seaford is pursuing a Long Island title after last year’s one-point championship defeat.
- The 5-3 Vikings face North Shore in the Conference IV playoffs.
- Injuries sidelined 12 players, but the team says its depth has kept it in contention.
