VETERANS DAY CELEBRATED
East Farewell – Veterans Day was celebrated on Sunday with a
parade up Main Street, past the Iron Works and up to the cemetery where there
is a special “Military Area” where any serviceman can be interred if he
desires. The area has almost 100 graves representing soldiers from both world
wars and the Korean War. The parade was a wonderful show of heavy equipment
courtesy of the fire department and other area fire departments, both the
Regional High School Marching Band and the Sun City High School Marching Band,
an assortment of luxury cars and Veterans from all three conflicts. The
parade’s Grand Marshall this year was World War I veteran, Tommy Flynn who rode in
an open Cadillac and waved vigorously despite his war wounded right arm. The
parade made its way up to the cemetery where a wreath was paced on the entrance
marker for the Military Area. Commemorative speeches were made and a bugler
(Regional High School senior and ROTC captain, Frank Murphy) played taps on the
edge of the cemetery. It was a solemn, respectful service that fittingly
honored East Farewell’s finest.

COUGARS SOAR OVER HAWKS
East Farewell – The home field and fans proved to be the
catalyst the Cougars needed to break their losing streak. They were able to
dominate the Southport Hawks, 24-7. The Friday night game was played under the
newly installed field lights at the Regional High Field. The lighting was not
optimal and after the game the administration said the lighting problems would
be addressed immediately. Lighting problems aside, the Cougars came out strong against
a Southport team that also had lost their previous two games. The Cougars took
the opening kickoff down to the Hawks 11 yard line where they were forced to
kick a field goal putting the Cougars up 3-0. The Hawks struggled on offense in
the first half while the Cougars were able to score again in the second quarter
with a hard 12 yard run by fullback Robby Blackman. Halftime saw the Cougars up
10-0.
The second half
opened with the Hawks showing a new vigor and on their second series was able
to drive all the way down the field and score on a post pattern catch from
Hawks quarterback, Joe Reynolds to wide receiver Gino Farmer. The Cougars came
right back and scored with another Blackman run, this time to the left side for
a twelve yard run. The Hawks tried to mount several other scoring attempts but
they all fell short as the Cougars defense seemed to get stronger as the game
went on. In the final five minutes of the game the Cougars took complete
control holding onto the ball for 4 minutes and 30 seconds of the last five
minutes. They systematically drove the ball for first down after first down,
barely moving the chains but eating up the clock. Finally with one minute left
and the ball on the Hawks 19 yard line Cougars quarterback Kevin Dugan dropped
back and fired a solid bullet to wide receiver, Max O’Hara who hauled in the
ball and ran into the end zone untouched. The game ended with the Cougars in
control, 24-7. Next week the Cougars travel to Corning to face the Devils for
the second time this season. In the first meeting the Cougars were able to
prevail 21-7 but the Devils have showed a lot of improvement since then. Being
on the road has not been good for the Cougars. They have lost three out of four
of their games on the road. The Cougars are hoping to change the trend next
Saturday. The game begins at 1:30PM at the Corning High School field.
