Red bests Blue at annual sports night

Posted

Red and Blue, one of the biggest events of the year at South Side High School, was another success this year, with the Red Team trumping the Blue team.

The annual event, now in its 98th year, pits two teams of girls against each other in various sporting and performance events. Teams compete for points in dances, skits and costumes, as well as floor hockey, relays, volleyball and more. The judges award points for organization and sportsmanship as well.

Red and Blue began back when girls weren’t allowed to compete in sports. But the tradition continues today, and the whole Rockville Centre community gets swept up in Red and Blue fever each year.
