A football team’s student section isn’t always about everyone who comes at kickoff. It’s about who sticks around and stays loud even when the going gets tough. By the apex of the fourth quarter action on Friday, Oct. 30, there were barely enough students left to fill two rows of seating. Still, the student section was rowdier and prouder than it was at full capacity, as the Manheim Township Blue Streaks (9-1, 5-1 in conference) defeated the Hempfield Knights (5-5, 2-4 in conference) by a score of 20-19.
