Tribute to Christina Lembo Leads BHS Sports Highlights

All information courtesy the Bloomfield High School Athletics Department.

• The Girls Soccer Team marked the one year anniversary of the passing of Christina Lembo with a moving ceremony at half time of their win over Union City. While it is hard to believe a year has passed since that tragedy not a day goes by that Christina is not in the thoughts of her Teammates, friends and family.
• The Bengal Special Olympics team had a number of notable performances at the New Jersey Summer games held at the College of New Jersey. In Bocce Ball four of Bloomfield’s 2-person teams earned Gold or Silver Medals. In Track and Field the Bengals captured 3 Gold Medals, 5 Silver Medals and 8 Bronze Medals. Kwame Addae won Gold in the Softball Throw, Alannah Browning-Brown also earned Gold in the Softball Throw while Adrian Davis won the Standing Long Jump. Gold Medals were also won by the consistently excellent Bengal Softball Team. Congratulations to all the Athletes who represented Bloomfield as well as their Coaches and Sponsors. 
• Boys Soccer continued their stellar play by romping over Weequahic and North 13th St Tech. Only a tough 3-2 Overtime loss to Belleville sullied the week.
• Girls Volleyball advanced in the County Tournament by routing West Side. A day earlier they topped East Side. (Unfortunately there are no North Side or South Side HS).
• Girls Tennis took the measure of Orange Hs after dropping matches to fine squads from Caldwell and Golda Och.
• Boys Cross Country defeated Seton Hall Prep and the Girls bested Golda Och and Orange.
• Football returned to action at West Orange falling 21-0 to a much improved Mountaineer squad.
