Hey Folks,

Well the football season has come to an end.  Unfortunately for us, it wasn't the happy ending we had hoped for.  Far Rockaway HS/ FDA VI gave a super effort but we were unable to score in the overtime session and lost a heartbreaking game to George Washington High School.  The final score: GW 20- Far Rock 14 in OT!!!!  At the end of the day, they simply made a few more plays than we did, and they deserved to win today.  You hate to see anyone lose this type of game, but that is the nature of a Championship Game.  There can only be one winner.
 
I would personally like to thank all of our friends, family, and supporters, on the wonderful ride that this 2008 Varsity Football season has been for Far Rockaway HS/ FDA VI.  The string of this loss will hurt for a while, but like all things in life, we will look back and be thankful for all the opportunities that this season brought the team.
 
Thanks again!!
 
Sincerely,
Ken Hernandez
Far Rockaway HS /FDA VI

Skip-

I attended the FRHS football game yesterday (October 25, 2008) and thought some alumni might be interested to hear how well the team is doing. They won yesterday and now have a record of 6 wins and 1 loss. Jake Miller, the assistant coach from our era, was there and we had a great time reminiscing.

The football (also baseball and soccer) field is in top notch condition- it was donated by the NY Giants a few years ago and is in great shape. The team is coached by a former FRHS alumni, Walter Wilkinson, who graduated in 1987.

The stands were full, there was great school spirit and they even had a student dressed as a Seahorse!!

Go Seahorses! Go Rockaway!

Rockaway Forever!!

Best
