Hobart Baking and breaking of the Brickies Spirits had never been higher than that August evening when the football team performed a miracle that even they couldn’t believe. Warren just called it “terrific.” Feet pounded on the dewy grass, and crowds screamed as eager students rushed to the green carpeted field to form the traditional “human tunnel.” Signs proclaimed, “Hang Hobart,” and handfuls of confetti fell like snow on a winter evening. Throats and hands grew sore from the constant cheering, though not in vain. Our football heroes handed Hobart their first and only loss of the season. What a way to start the new school year. Electrifying. Crowds thronged to the gates and milled about the concession stand anticipating the “biggest high school game of the week,” Hobart vs. Warren Central. Hobart was ranked number one in the state during pre-season, so it was a game easily labeled, “the favorites vs. the underdogs.” Black and gold abounded during the day, as football players proudly displayed their jerseys, bandsmen displayed T-shirts and jackets, and cheerleaders their sparkling, pleated outfits. Though the school was relatively quiet as students passed from class to class, the tension built as each period elapsed. Finally, students were released from school to anticipate the 7:30 starting of the game. People began arriving as early as 6:30 to insure themselves a seat. Some fans drifted toward the bleachers, which were already full. Spirits were high and so were heads as the football team warmed up on the field and the band marched by the home crowd. Fans traveled from Hobart and beyond to witness the crucial game. Several area T.V. stations and both newspapers sent reporters to the scene of the de- crowning of the number one ranked team in the state. Reporters were to call it a “stunning upset,” but Time Out! Coach Jerry Stauffer uses the familiar “T” to summon his players together for more strategy against Hobart. Yell a Little Louder! Yelling with all her might, varsity cheerleader Kelley McQueen tries to get the crowd in the balcony to show their spirit. O O Summer Hobart
