For most of the warrior football players they just finished playing their last game of the season, but for the seniors they just finished their last high school game ever. After years of putting in hard work on and off the field for most of the seniors it has come to a bittersweet end. Steinbrenner’s “senior night” was on November 17, where the seniors were honored by having custom-made banners and walking out on the field before the game.
“It was a surreal moment,” said senior Dave Coleman, “It was sad, but that’s just apart of life. I was just trying to enjoy it and reminiscing about how much I enjoyed the experience and all of the great memories we have made.”
For the seniors, their football experience wasn’t always on the field, as a team they were also motivated to do better off the field. They were encouraged to do their best in academics due to their past of having the top GPA in the county.
“Football has motivated me to do better in school because we have a history of winning the highest GPA in the county, so I was motivated to help us win that,” said senior Zach Schacter.
“Being on the team taught me to be more dedicated and how to work harder on my goals,” said senior Matt Fischel.
Seniors Brett Bitter scored the arriors only touchdown and Noah Ruggles added to the scoreboard with a field goal.
While senior night did not go the way the team hoped as they lost to Berkeley Prep as they handed the warriors a 35-10 defeat. Despite the loss the warriors did not let this ruin their night as they celebrated their senior night.
“It was a great experience knowing that all of the student section was and my family was there,” said senior Nick Larosa.
It was hard for the team to say goodbye, but the they plan to hold on to the great memories and friendships they made over the years.
“Being on the team taught me a lot and allowed me to make good friends. I learned a lot about how to do things that were hard, but football guided me in the long run in life,” said senior Ryan Bogdanski.
“Because of the seniors, we will never be the same and we will try to hold their legacy as much as we can next year,” said sophomore Jake Hyer.
