SPIRIT !-Blue Wave Style October 18, 1986: The Riverhead High School band warmed up. Interacters sold raffles. Spirited Juniors sold poms-poms. Student Council representativates tended the concession stand. Majorettes and Cheerleaders rehearsed their routines, preparing for the Homecoming event. At the Pulaski Street football field, Riverheaders were con- fident that the Blue Waves would give a good show. After the first quarter, neither team had scored. The second quar- ter, the Miller Place Panthers scored on a 26-yard touch- down pass. The half ended, leaving the Panthers with 7 points, the Waves with 0. During halftime spectators were entertained by the Varsity Left: A Riverhead player sees an oppor- tunity to turn things around and goes for it. Opportunities like this are rare. Cheerleaders dancing to “Can You Feel the Beat”. The Majorettes twirled to the tune of “That’s Entertainment”, played by the RHS band. The main event of the halftime show was the parade of floats. The score remained 7-0 in favor of the Panthers after the third quarter. The Waves had just one quarter to make their comeback. They scored on a 55-yard run by Cart Smith. A successful 2-point conversion left Riverhead in front, 8-7. So ended the Homecoming game, leaving Carl Smith with 100 yards rushing, superior plays by John Harris, Kevin Womack and Derrick Robin- son, and an excellent defensive game for Greg Polak. Great job, fellas!
