How I Spent My Summer, Part I

Saturday, September 9, 2000

By Gregory "Graig" White
SJSports Physical Fitness Advisor

It is with great excitement that I share with you my vacation to Lincoln, Nebraska. That's right, I used the words "vacation" and "Lincoln, Nebraska" in the same sentence. I spent a week with the strength staff for the Pre-Season training of the number one football program in the country. I got to see up close and personal the guys that you will be hearing about throughout the season. The general assumption is that starting the season ranked number one means there is no place to go but down. Huskers will be challenged each week by a team who knows they are competing with a program rich with the tradition that Nebraska has created.

The Berlin Township Hurricanes traveled to Millville to play the Diamonds this past Saturday in a South Jersey Girls Soccer U-9 Division 5 game. It was very hot and muggy as the players ran up and down the pitch. Some of the parents were joking to the coaches about providing the players with pickle juice. Both teams moved the ball well up and down. The Hurricanes got the first break of the game, as M. Foster scored on some hard work from A. Romeo and B. Gadzia. The Diamonds came back and scored a goal, with a beautiful shot by A. Bruno. The half ended with the score 1-1.
