'Hawks' Hot Line Dads'Club Reveals Secret The official L.I.M.F.O.L. season has gotten underway this past weekend. To some of the teams it was a successful weekend but for others it means back to the drawing boards, and wait till next week. Peanuts 0 Huntington 26 There is not to much to be said for the Peanuts in their loss to a fine Huntington team. The game started with Farmingdale kicking off and immediately stopping Huntington. The Peanuts proceeded to drive towards a score, but, the attack stalled and Farmingdale had to give up the pigskin. Huntington scored, and after their extra point try failed they kicked off and then the injuries started to hit the Hawks. Lets hope a poor start will mean a good finish. Pee Wee's 19 Massapequa 13 With eleven seconds left in the game, Harloff threw to O'Sullivan, to give the Pee Wee's a tough 19-13 victory over a tough Massapequa Mustang team. Great running by Parrella, Detroia, and Cieslielski, coupled by the blocking of the offensive line of Penner, Wildes, Car- man, Heuskin, and Ortiz gave the team a fine all around effort. Trailing 13-6 at halftime, the defense, led by Contarino, and a great tackle by Venturino on a kickoff gave the boys good field position the entire second half. Midway through the third quarter the Irish Con- nection went to work. Harloff moved the team down field passing to O'Rourke and O'Sullivan, with great catches by O'Sullivan giving us our second and third T.D.'s. Many fine plays by Schellhorn, Pistone, Ross, Hill, Bleck' Panariello, and Cunningham gave the Pee Wee's a total team victory. J.V.'s 7 Massapequa 25 J.V.'s met a strong Massapequa team and lost 25-7. The T.D. for the Hawks was scored by Thomas Zeng on a pass thrown by QB Mike Ihm. The extra point was run by Karlheinz Soete. Midgets 6 Huntington 0 Surpurb passing by Greg Wildes along with outstanding receiving by Donny Lang and Francis Farinello, together with some hard running by Robert Robitzek and John De Tommaso was just not good enough to put points on the scoreboard for the Midgets. This was due to a stubborn Huntington defense which constantly rose to the occassion inside their twenty yard line. However, the Farmingdale defense played one whale of a game with outstanding play by Tony Pezzano, Tim Tiniski, Larry Grieshaber, Joe Zarodkiewicz and Phil Albanese. The game was tied 0-0 until late in the second quarter when Scott Jankowski intercepted a pass and ran the ball into the end-zone behind some genuinely fine blocks from Jeff Penner and Brendon Wilcox. Congratulations to Al (Teddy Bear) Duranti for putting together an outstanding (Deee) Fence. Seniors 6 Plainedge 0 -<-••— . ' \\ The Hawks Seniors fought their way past their 1st league opponent Plainedge by the score 60. The game was even closer than the score indicates. The Hawks did not punch in their only T.D. till late in the fourth quarter, when Charles Dellaauila pounded over the goal line on a 2 yard gain good for the T.D. The P.A.T. try by Q.B. Mike Venezia was off to the right. The seniors had poor field position for most of the first half but their defensive until kept them out of trouble. In their last drive of the first half the seniors moved from their six yard line to the \Bob Cat\ 11 yard line but time ran out in the half, without a score. In the second half the seniors exercised ball control with Far- mingdale maintaining possession of the ball and Plainedge coming up with poor field position, thanks to a super effort from the Hawk defensive unit of Dellaquila, Stetz, Foley, Sichler, Reichel, Korkuc and Considine. On a 4th down punt situation the Hawks went for the block and succeded. \Korky.\ Korkus blitzed and blocked the punt giving the Hawks possession on the Plainedge 20 yard line. It was not long after the Hawks punched across their only T.D. The senior offensive running backs of Dellaquila and Tom Walsh pounded away at the Plainedge defense for 21 and 20 carries each. Their combined efforts were good for 118 yards and an average of almost 3 yards per carry. The Hawks defense held the bob Cats to a net yardage gained rushing of 65 yards for the day. Tackle leaders for the defense were Korkuc with 6, Considine, Foley and Santore with 4 each. The seniors face Massapequa at Burns Park Sun., Sept. 26. Purple 9 White 0 The season go underway with the Purple meeting the White team in a tough scoreless game. Outstanding offensive play led by Peter Panariello, Kevin Lennon, Steve Strazza and Dan Reichel contained the tough white offensive. Even though the offensive was scoreless they drove the ball to the white 4 yard line where they were stalled by a goal line stand. Offensive stars were Dean Lo Nigro, Ed Borelli, and Tim Dooley. Hawks Harem Hawk football started this past weekend and all the boys and girls were anxious and full of butterflies. All the girls looked lovely in their uniforms from the Purple Farm to the Senior Travel. There is something very attractive and appealing about girls in cheerleading uniforms. They cheered very well in spite of the torrid and sunny weather we had. It helped to keep our summer tans but it sure was rough on the children. By now the nominating committee has been selected and all qualified L.AF.H. members have been or will be contacted. The candidates will be announced at the October 12th meeting. Remember many are called but few are chosen! It's time to put your imagination caps on because the L.A.F.H. Halloween Costume Party is Oct. 29th at the Sons of Italy. This is a first for us and we would like to see a tremendous turnout. Fliers were given to all the children but knowing them, the notices never went farther than their pockets. So circle the 29th on your calendar if you don't want to miss out on a fun and novel evening. Approximately 30 men turned out for Tuesday night's Dads Club meeting to find out what the \big secret\ was all about. It turned out to be two big secrets instead of just one: the organizing of an \Unlikely Olympics\ competition and the changing of Farmingdale to \Holidale\ for the Christmas season. After hearing from Coach Don Snyder and Principal John McLennan, Dad's Club President Jim Keats introduced Don LaFontaine to unveil the \big secret\ The Unlikely Olympics: A local version of ABC-TV's \Almost Anything Goes.\ The Dads' Club will challenge the towns of Beth- page, Plainedge, Massapequa and Syosset to meet on the field of slightly insane combat (the high school football field) on a Saturday late in May. The day will begin with a parade down Main Street and end with the games, themselves. The events will be mofied copies of ABC's games and original events, with trophies being awarded to the winning teams. Half-time shows will be presented along with \Filler Acts\ between events. The mood will be one of barely controlled lunacy, and should provide a sensational day's en- tertainment for everybody. Further details on this event will be released as they develop. Holidale: The Dads' Club will sponsor the conversion of the Village of Farmingdale into \Holidale\ beginning just after Thanksgiving, and extending to New Years day. Local merchants will be encouraged to participate in the recapturing of the old-time holiday spirit by providing punch, eggnog and/or cookies and the like to their customers. All signs on access roads to the village will be changed to read \Holidale - The Town Where The Holiday Spirit Lives!\ or something on that order. Local papers and island-wide publications will be approached to ballyhoo the idea, and the end result will hopefully be to attract shoppers into the area. Additionally, an open call would go out to anybody who'd like to join an organized group of caroleers, with the goal of creating five or six separate groups to tour the streets of town and sing in the village square. A gigantic Christmas party will be held, with families bringing their home-made goodies, the decoration of a huge tree by the kids, and appearance by Santa with gifts for the children, en- tertainment, sing-alongs and a special choral program, \Carols For Everyman\ - provided by special arrangement with the United States Army Band and Chorus and performed by the massed choral group; The final event of the \Holidale\ season will be a giant Dads's Club sponsored New Years Party, complete with entertainment, dance contests and special surprises. Naturally, for an undertaking of this size to be a success, the entire com- munity has to get behind it, and toward that end, the Dads' Club will invite the active par- ticipation of all local CYO Sign-up Tryouts for St. Kilian's CYO eighth grade boys basketball team will take place on Saturday, September 25, 9:30 a.m., on the outdoor courts at Northside Elementary School. If it rains that day tryouts will continue October 2, same time and place. Any 8th grade student is welcome. Any questions call Leon Martin at 249-7959. organizations and religious groups. The idea will be presented formally to the village board at their next meeting. The next meeting of the Dads' Club will be Tuesday, Oct 5, in the Teachers Cafeteria of the high school. Wolverine's Lair The Wolverines in a major revamping of their Board of Directors has made the following changes in their personnell. Jim Reilly has been elected president replacing Jack Duva who was forced to resign because of business reasons. In becoming president Jim Reilly had to give up his important position as V.P. Field and Safety. The Wolverines feel that we have found the perfect man to fill this vital position. Ron Sharp has been selected to hold this office and he brings to this position a wealth of experience. Ron has long been associated with various organizations dealing with youth and we feel that with this experience he will greatly enhance the Board of Directors. Ron has long acted in a semi-official ay to help the Wolverines and now we are proud to welcome him aborad. The office of President of the Wolverines is much more than a ceremonial position. The president must seek to lead the Board to some very important decisions and must also inititate and innovate programs that will affect the programs that we offer for the youth of Farmingdale. We feel that we have found such a man in Jim Reilly. Jim has been a board member for the last 3 years and in that time he has never failed to show leadership in whatever position he has held in that time. While acting in a low key manner he has always got the job done. In reality Jim Reilly is probably one of the most qualified men in the organization to hold the position of president. His qualities, often understated, are manifested in the very life that he leads at home. He always finds time to take care of the needs of his family while also always being available to help either a friend or a stranger alike. He also has time to be down at Allen Park to help run the Wolverines. What we need are more men like Jim Reilly around the community to help our fine youth. We look forward to a long term in office by Jim.
