Football Eldred delivers a payback punch ELDRED, NY—It took all of 11 seconds for the 2005 Yellowjackets to send a message to Hancock and anyone else watching Class D football this year. This team means business. That’s how long it took the Yellowjackets to put up their first points of the year and they did it with their defense. A booming kick by Eldred’s Mike Prunka, a hard hit by linebacker Hilton Johnson and a heads-up fumble recovery by Nick Simonelli in the end zone gave Eldred a 6-0 lead over the Hancock Wildcats. That play set the tone for a dominating win by the Yellowjackets over a team that beat them 14-7 in last year’s opener. | |||||

Emotions soared on the sidelines and in the faces of the fans who came out on a brilliantly sunny day to see rival team players do something many believed unimaginable, namely play together. The merged Town of Rockland team undoubtedly saved the sport, a fall rite of passage that has been a vital part of both northern Sullivan County communities for time immemorial. |

For those precious halcyon moments before the game, the magic of having a team represent the school that once ruled the area football roost was intoxicating. |
