After practicing 22 days in a row for an hour every morning, the hard work paid off for the Tigers in a 34-15 victory over School No. 2 Tuesday evening. “We had a good balance of boys and girls this year,” said head coach Bob Ciccone. “The kids deserve it.” With boys and girls alternating quarters, School 3 led the entire way and never trailed.

The 9th annual D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) Games officially started Monday night full house at Fort Lee High School.
