300th Celebration
If all goes well this week ( fingers and toes crossed), Paulsboro will get it's 300th Consecutive Colonial Conference win on Saturday, January 20th. A Quad is scheduled for that day and Haddonfield is first up for the Raiders (lucky Dawgs) at 10:00am. Paulsboro first has to win the match this Wednesday night at Haddon Heights (#299) before counting any hatching chickens.
Then Saturday morning (yes A.M.) Paulsboro should make history against Haddonfield. The original 1971-72 team, the fellas that started this whole deal, will be in attendance. The team has also extended an invitation to any and all Red Raider wrestlers who were a part of this streak, to also attend. The original team, coaches and participants will be honored at 1:00pm (approximately) with a brief ceremony recocognizing these outstanding men. Coaches of the teams that are participating in the Quad on Saturday have been informed and they have all gratiously agreed to the brief break in the program.
Immediately following wrestling on Saturday, a Beef and Beer will be hosted at the Sons of Italy (where else?). The cost of the shindig is $15. Tickets will be available the day of the Quad and possibly at the door.
I can't wait. What an opportunity. Not simply for the witnessing history aspect but to be able to mingle and interact with the athletes that contributed to make this Streak a reality. The stories are going to be fabulous - they're going to get even more fabulous as the night progresses at the Sons, wink wink.
Come on out and be a part of it. Bring your stories!

10:00am. They're hoping the matches move right along and go off at 10:00am, 11:30am and 1:00pm. Not positive but I think the doors open at 9:00am. If they open any sooner, I'll post it.
