Can’t wait for the continuation of the game. Good job Brianna Luberisse, Karla Salvador, Aisha Justima and Mr. Hanif on the article and pictures.

Huge shout-out to a Varsity Football squad that continues getting in gear. Although you fell behind early, you refused to give in. The lightning postponement actually looked like a mercy for the visitors, because you fought back and were dialing it up to Category 5. Once again the Drumline was jamming, and the Cheerleaders and Dance Team were strutting their stuff. Mr. Goldstein showed papa’s got a brand new bag with that throwback music during the lightning delay, including a timely “R-E-S-P-E-C-T” tribute to Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin. (But students, fix that pre-game playlist; let not even a second of profanity slip in there.) When the audio team honored a music request during the delay and students and parents started dancing The Electric Slide, it was clear there’s no better place for Canes on a Friday night. Kudos also for Dr. Lockhart in the Media Booth schooling students on play-by-play announcing. Building on past efforts, Athletic Director Coach McKay and staff are making the games fun again and the team making us Hurricane Proud. Way to go Canes!
