Hawks prevail in upset victory
by Tim Thein The 16th ranked Deerfield Warriors played host to the underdog Hawks in the football team's latest match-up. Maine South, combining a well-balanced offensive attack with a strick defense, were able to rack-up an important victory. Deerfield notched the first two touchdowns before Matt Rubino plunged into the end zone from the two yard line. Next,
quarterback Mike Kostreza hodced-up with R.J. De La Cruz on a 34-yard touchdown pass for the Hawks. The team displayed great intensity while keeping the Warriors out of the end zone in the third quarter. Although penalties granted Deerfield extra downs, the Hawks formed a solid defensive line to stun the highly-touted Deerfield offense. Quarterback Jay Mansavage scrambled and appeared to have a
touchdown before Matt Rubino came through for a key defensive stop on the goal line. The Hawks gained the lead when Kostreza connected with junior Dan Wasiolek for a 9yard touchdown. Clint Faldetta also contributed to the Hawks' drive with 100 yards on 15 carries. The Warriors' last chance of defeating the Hawks fell short when Denny Diduch pickedoff a pass in the endzone to end the game.

Golf struggles by Todd Ofenloch Ifanylightofhopecanbeseeninthis year's golf season, it can be there undefeated conference record. The team stands in conference 2-0, with victories over MaineEast and Evanston. Other than this win, the Hawks have not been able to put together a victory. The team remains winless in nonconference competition except for Maine West, with losses coming to the hands of Conant, Lake Park, Deerfield, and others. It is surprising that the team has not performed better, since it was only last year that the team advanced to the sectional competition.
