Mr. Young's
Office
The team and coaches put in a
lot of time trying to make
Hazleton Campus number one,
and it would be appreciated very
much if the students would show
them some support in the future
games.
At the Jan. 27 game against
Mont Alto there will be an at
tempt made to fill the gym,
which holds 1200 people. The
highest attendance record for
this campus is 846. So on Jan. 27
at 2 p.m. make note to come see
your Condors trample Mont Alto
in a very big game.
For the Condors and their 10-4
record this has been the best
start in ten years. If the team
continues as it has been, this
may be Hazleton’s best team
ever.
The Condors are looking for
ward to going to the Com
monwealth Campus Playoffs
which will be held Feb. 16-17 at
Altoona Campus. Give them
your support in future games,
and help the Condors make it to
the playoffs.
