Cyclones Make Statement in Opener

(CLICK TO ENLARGE PHOTO)
The Cyclones opened the fall season against their freindly rivals from down south...the Plainedge Magic. After roster changes, tryouts and a turnover of 8 players in total, the Cyclones are virtually a new team. With all of those changes the big question was how would the "New" 2006 Cyclones respond? The initial results were great!
All 14 Cyclones made the statement that they will not give an inch to any team, by playing with the grit, determination and hustle that have made this team famous from South Oyster Bay Road to Round Swamp Road. Even though this was the first game of the season and the Cyclones have had only 1 practice with their entire roster they showed great stamina and teamwork in cutting the score to 2-1 on Jerry's 2nd career goal on a rebound of a DJ shot, late in the second half and coming within a foot of tying the score on another DJ blast, just seconds before the final whistle.
Congratulations to Ariel, Ravid, Sabrina, Marissa & Anna for doing such a great job in their first game.
