Alumni news, wrestling season is (almost) here

The Thanksgiving Day holiday is a few days away and that means the traditional meeting of old teammates.
Bound Brook's football alumni will meet for the 10th "odd-even" game at Lamonte Field Friday night (Nov. 24). All former Crusaders -- whether they played football or not -- are invited to play in the game. The game is broken down in two 20-minute halves -- running time.
Game time is 7 p.m., but those interested in playing should arrive at 6 to sign in.
This year's game is being run by former Crusader defensive back Dom Todaro, who has taken the baton from former Crusader linebacker/fullback Joe Minerd.
By the way, teams are divided by the year the player graduated. If you graduated in 1974, you would be placed on the even team. In 1973, the odd.
WRESTLING TIME
Wrestling practice can start officially the day after Thanksgiving. I have been told that David Brothers will be the new head wrestling coach at Bernards. He had formerly coached at Columbia High in Maplewood. He lives in Bernardsville.
Speaking of Bernards, former Mountaineer star Pat Riley is now a freshman at the University of Virginia. He won the 149-pound weight class at Virginia Military Institute's Rat Fall Brawl last Saturday. He won three bouts, taking Eric Nadeu of James Madison. Competing were host VMI, James Madison, American University and Virginia.
Virginia will be in Chapel Hill, N.C. Saturday for the Atlantic Coast Conference/Big 10 Challenge.
