Okay, let’s talk about this Hawthorne Bears football thing. I’ve been following them for a bit now, and it’s been a real rollercoaster.
So, a while back, I decided to get more into local sports, you know? Support the community and all that. The Hawthorne Bears, our high school football team, caught my eye. I started checking out their schedule online – turns out they post it all there, pretty handy. I saw they had some big games coming up, one against Cresskill and another against Lodi. I thought, “Why not? Let’s see what these guys are made of.”
I went to a few games, and man, it was intense! They played against Hasbrouck Heights, and let me tell you, the Bears were on fire. It felt like they had something to prove, and they did. It was a solid win. I remember thinking, “These guys are actually pretty good!” They’ve got this senior, Dominic Passero, who’s a whiz with the special teams. I saw him kick, and I was impressed.
But it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. They had a tough loss against Glen Ridge. It was a bummer, especially since it was their last game of the season. I was there, and you could feel the disappointment in the air. Still, they played their hearts out, and that’s what counts, right?
What really got me hooked?
- The Team Spirit: You can see these guys are a tight unit. They support each other, win or lose.
- The Local Vibe: There’s something special about watching a high school game. The whole town gets involved, and the energy is just different.
- The Players: They have some real talent. This linebacker, Rocco Monica, he’s a beast! And there are these two seniors, Will Goff and Max Beltre, who are also super solid.
Recently, I heard they got a new head coach. That’s big news in a small town like Hawthorne. It will be interesting to see how the team adapts to the change. It’s like a whole new chapter for the Bears.
Honestly, I’m no football expert, but I’ve enjoyed following the Hawthorne Bears. It’s been a mix of excitement, disappointment, and everything in between. It is real, it is local, and it is a good story about a local high school football team. I’m definitely going to keep watching them next season. You should check them out too, if you ever get the chance. It’s worth it, believe me.
