If you allowed the rain clouds to keep you away from A.J. Rickard field on Friday night, you missed out! First, the stadium was decked out in orange & blue using several different means, but most notable were the incredible banners created by Michelle Lutz (senior FN Lutz's sister) each a caricature of a senior player. AWESOME!
The stands were full--parents doning Raider gear, students painted head to toe--and the team was fired up. The game proved to be a mostly defensive battle with huge plays made by FN Lutz, Chase Ritter, & Matt Schwartz. Bowdie Linsenmeyer continues to tear up the field rushing--he now holds the school rushing record (and only half way through his junior season).
In the end, the Sword will stay were it belongs--in the halls of Harrison--as they Raiders were victorious 10-6!
