Central vs. East the Brookfield youths on one side of town and the youths on the other side of town. It is not a violent or dangerous type of 'V v .,, I xi Q There is a type of hostility which exists between a faction of L QQ f hostility, but rather a healthy rivalry which actually is beneficial to those involved in it, in that it promotes keen competition between the two groups and brings out the best in every individual as the factions battle it out wherever they may be competing. These two factions of Brookfield's youth are the students of Brookfield Central High School and Brookfield East High School, and the competition they are involved in is athletic in nature. Whether it is on the gridiron where bodies are being battered, on the floor of either school's gymnasium where a basketball game is being played tooth and claw, or in any sporting event between the two schools, there is sure to be a rivalry in the grandest sense of the word, and not only between the athletes, but also between the fans as both school's honor is at stake on the field of honor. Though for the most part the athletes are participating in a controlled and honestly played hard fought battle, knowing that though the Central-East rivalry is perhaps the zenith of the season it is just a game, the spectators of the teams playing are something less than controlled. Things can and do get out of hand at East vs. Central sporting events. ln the stands during a game and in the parking lots before and after a game obscenities and threats can be heard shouted between students from both schools, and while the athletes are shaking their opponents hands in an act of well meant Kats sportsmanship, the fans are shaking their fists at their opponents in misplaced zealousness. Remarks John Puchner, After the East game l was walking in the parking lot, and a group of East students walked up to me and yellec 'Central sucksl' right in my face. I couIdn't believe it. Although it may have its blemishes, the East-Central rival: makes both schools shine because of the sense of school spirit and unity it produces. The games can be a great time i they are taken as just a game, but can strike a sour note if taken for more than that. Said Varsity Basketball Co-Captai Bob Mirenda at the pep assembly before the East game, Vt want everybody to come and cheer their heads off, but we don't need harassment of officials and opponents. It only hurts the team and you. tLarge Photography Cheering the crowd to victory over Brookfield East is Varsity Cheerleader Lauri Scheffel. l2y ln a tense moment, Coach Graf plan his strategy for the upcoming play.
