Riverhead High School Hosts Fourth Annual Crazy Sports Night

Riverhead High School hosted their Fourth Annual Crazy Sports night, sponsored by the PTO Executive Council, on Friday night.

During the event, Riverhead High School Principal Charles Regan and Pulaski Principal Dave Densieski acted as referees, while Doc Greenberger and Lorene Custer kept the crowd cheering as Master and Madame of Ceremonies.

Crowds cheered as the teams competed in relays, races, ball tosses, and more.

During intermission, The Blue Masques gave the audience a preview of their spring musical, Footloose before everyone was on the floor dancing and doing cartwheels.

The event raised money to distribute to the school PTOs to benefit the students at each school.

In total, the event raised $6,077, the most the event has raised ever.

In addition, the proceeds from the raffles raised over $1,500 which was donated to the Krueger family of Calverton.

Tristin Krueger, a senior, has been battling leukemia.

This tragedy was followed by a fire in the Kruegers’ home, which destroyed their home.

Raven Krueger, Tristin’s mother, attended the event to thank teachers, students, parents and the entire community for their support.

“It’s been hard. It’s been a little rough,” she said. “I want you to know that we all have hard times. Bad things happen to all of us. There are really only two choices: you can become bitter and resentful and get upset or you can try to see the good. And our family wants you to know that you are part of the good,” Mrs. Krueger said. “We want to thank you all.”
