The opening of the school year means Football, Field Hockey, Cross Country, Chcerleading, and Band. The school is starting to “get rowdie.” All of the players are getting ready mentally and physically. As these fall sports come to a close, we open to even more sports-Girls’ Basketball, Boys’ Basketball, and Wrestling. These sports bring the excitement inside. All of these players are ready for the excitement and competition. Each player must learn the meaning of “team work.” As the tournaments and matches end, we take ourselves back outside, in the spring air for Girls’ and Boys’ Track, Baseball, Soft- ball, and Golf. Again, each player gets ready to take on the opponents. Each individual, each athlete, looks to be on top, to win a “crown” whether it is for a State Championship, DRC Tourna- ment, Warren County League Champion or just to prove to himself that “I can do it.” The work, the struggle, the competition- these are ingredients of growth.

“Better Than Our Record” This year’s Warren Hills Blue Streaks football team captured the title of Warren County League Champions with a record of 4-4-1. The team’s determination and pride was a winning aspect of its own. The '78 Streak football team had excellent leader- ship by Rodney Dickerson, Mickey Hissim, and Paul Fiore, along with junior quarter- back John Eckel. The Streaks started off the season with an unlucky loss to Delaware Valley in the final seconds of the game. But the Streaks prepared themselves physically and emotion- ally to display their best efforts by shutting out Belvidere the following week with a score of 21-0. This was a major victory for the Streaks since Belvidere seemed to hold a jinx over the Streaks the past 9 years. The Streaks went on to an up and down season, but as Coach Heverin puts it, We are better than our record.” TOP: Daryl Robinson kicks off following the Warren Hills’ touchdown in the Hackettstown game. The game ended in a 6-6 tie. ABOVE: Paul Fiore goes in for the Streaks only T. D. against South Hunterdon. 22
