Streaks' field hockey team stands up to cancer

The varsity, junior varsity and freshman field hockey teams at Warren Hills Regional High School recently held a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.

Coach Laurie Kerr and the Blue Streaks helped raise money in memory of Dawn Flynn, the mother of sophomore field hockey player, Amy Flynn. Dawn Flynn recently lost her battle against lung cancer. The team did a straight donation or pledge for every goal scored this past season from Oct. 10-15.

In all, Warren Hills raised $1,800. Danielle Leonard, the director of special events, presented Warren Hills with a check in that amount on Nov. 21.

Warren Hills produced one of the best seasons in program history this fall, going 22-2 and capturing the Skyland Conference Raritan Division and Hunterdon-Warren-Sussex titles. The Streaks reached the North 2, Group 3 sectional final, falling 3-2 to eventual Group 3 champion Freehold Borough.
