The Game
October 24, 2017
To end this memorable day, the students and parents showed up in droves to pack those bleachers and cheer their lungs out for the Raiders. The atmosphere was electric and one could barely hear himself think over the chants and the love being poured down by everyone in support of the team. It was not all about the players on the field, though, as the crowds and the audience knew we had to win this one not because of Homecoming- but for Sean. Huge respect to the opposing team, they entered uncharted territory against the most riled up crowd in all of New York and tried their best to stay in it. Unfortunately, their best wasn’t good enough on this night, as the Raiders blew them out in a final score of 68-19; the level that the players were on was something you would see out of one of those cliché movies were they seem to have superhuman strengths in the face of pressure. It is true though: between the players, the crowd, the support from the staff, and the memory of Sean, the Raiders refused to lose this game.
