Senior night is always a bittersweet moment for everyone, especially the students who spent years pouring everything they have into their sport or passion. On Friday, October 27th seniors from cross country, women’s tennis, band, Jrotc, cheer, and football were recognized. Many tears were shed from parents, siblings, loved ones, and friends watching their hard work pay off.
Following senior night, was the rivalry football game between South Brunswick and West Brunswick. The tension in the stands was incredible, everyone knew that the game could go one of two ways. South with a 2-7 overall and West with a 0-8 record. The season was a tough one for West, starting with almost a whole new coaching staff. There was a lot on this game, if West had lost it would have been their first winless season since 2008 and for South a loss would knock them out of the playoffs.
Throughout the first half, there were great plays by Joseph Hamric, Tristan Williams, Haiden Bias, and Deshawn Fullwood. Ending the half 28-21 cougars in the lead. After a great halftime performance from the dance team and band the Trojans and Cougars take the field once more.
Throughout the last half of the game, the Cougars and the Trojans fought hard until the last second. With less than a second of the game, Hamric caught a receiving touchdown for the Trojans, tying the game 42-42. With the game on the line, Hamric goes for the game winning kick and makes it, allowing the Trojans to win 43-42 and kicking the Cougars out of the playoffs and ending our season with a win.
