The Freshman Boys' Soccer Team, under the leadership of Coach John Baehr, finished the season with a 3-9-2 record. Despite their deceiving record, their coach was convinced that they were a better team because of their aggressive style of play which was demonstrated by a 3-2 Victory against a good Hunterdon Central team in a hard fought and physical game. The Coach of Bridgewater East said, after the two teams played to a 1-1 tie, that the team played with more character and aggressiveness than they thought and were prepared for. Frank Abbondan- dolo led the team offensively while Ryan Cain was the spoiler on defense for the team. Chris Kratt was the Most Valuable Player, but the whole team showed character throughout the entire season. With more ex- perience, they will be a valuable addi- tion to the teams of the future.

ttWe Are The Warriorstt The 1984 Varsity Football Team was a group of dedicated players who never gave up from the first game to the last. In the 9 games played in the season, the Warriors displayed a talented defense. The Senior players were the heart of the offense and defense as they entered their final high school season. Initiated by the players themselves, many team members began weight training and workouts well before the season began. Five returning players were chosen captains for 1984. Keith Sims, Ken O,Dea, Mike Walsh, J eff Walter, and Dave Grosch lead the seniors who included Greg Roe, Mike Colantuono, Greg Zande, Pat Faccia, Paul Cortese, Darren Coury, Rob Martorano, and Dave Ingram. Included with the seniors were younger players who made up the starting teams for the Warriors: Nick Rebholz, Terry Driscoll, Ralph Malatesta, Charlie Marold, Frank Zangari, Charlie Colucci, Don Knowles and Ricky Armstrong. All the players who have spent their entire fall season dedicated to football are true athletes. Next year, another season will begin and maybe, with more concern and help, the 1985 Warrior Football Team can lead itself back into the ranks of the State competition where it has been and belongs. With a little more effort, the players will be able to be guided along and not have to struggle with another 1-8 season.
