The Riverhead Blue Waves lost their 2025 homecoming game to the Pat-Med Raiders Saturday, 26-12.

It was a tough loss for the Waves, who entered the fourth quarter tied with the Raiders 12-12. But Pat-Med dominated in the final quarter for the win.

Riverhead (0-6) travels to Huntington Station next weekend to face Walt Whitman (4-2). The Waves return home for the final game of the season Nov. 1, where they host Bay Shore (0-6 after week six).
