The Big Game
After much hard work and cooperation, Cold Spring Harbor helped to make Roosevelt's football season a reality. Low and behold, the season would open with the two rivals pitted against one another. The weather may not have cooperated, but nothing could dampen the spirits of all who pulled together to help make the Rough Rider's season a reality. Parents from both teams worked the concessions together to raise additional funds to benefit the new Booster Club that the two communities collaborated on to support Roosevelt's beleaguered student-athletes (see photo at right). It was a defensive battle that was won by Roosevelt, 7-0, but the score was inconsequential to all, except the players.The following ABC news coverage of the event gives a good idea of the emotions that filled the evening and fueled the season opener.
