One student there, Mike O’ Sullivan, had some very positive words for the crowd on the day. Mr. O’ Sullivan felt there was an excellent blend of parent and student variety at the game. When asked about his expectations he said, “Yes, it was absolutely better than expected.

North came close to its first victory on Saturday in front of a capacity crowd on the grid iron. The program has to be happy with its traveling and spirited crowd, even on a tough day. At this point, it’s only a matter of time before a great crowd sees its first victory.
