The Indian, created by Joni Bensinger (Carp's mom)

Tonight, the Jim Thorpe Olympian football team honored its seniors along with the band and cheerleaders at Olympian Stadium. The rescheduled Senior Night included a short parade from the high school around the block and into the stadium. Seniors were acknowledged and then everyone went to the bonfire where an “Indian” was ceremoniously thrown into the fire.

Everyone please come out to the Fan Bridge at 4:30 tomorrow to cheer the bus over Route 903 on the way to Lehighton and then come to the game.

Senior Michael Carpenter breaks a block.

After coming back from a 20-point deficit, the Olympians beat Marian 37-34 Friday, Oct. 30 in Hometown. What a game! It started with three turnovers and ended with a three-point field goal by Kicker James Denny.

Congratulations guys!

We’ll have more photos from Mr. Lynch and Mr. Lesisko later. Click here for the first batch from Kathy Schwartz.
