Sachem East football team honors fallen player as season begins

The Sachem East football team opened the season Saturday with their first game since the death of teammate Joshua Mileto.
As News 12 has reported, Mileto was killed in a training drill accident at a preseason camp over the summer.
An emotional ceremony was held before Saturday's game against Lindenhurst to retire Mileto's No. 5 jersey. Cheerleaders wore red No. 5 shirts, and the players wore the number on their helmets.
The team chanted Josh's name and ended their huddle by yelling "forever five."
Players on the Lindenhurst team also wore No. 5 on their helmets.
