Harrison High School was a place to see athletic competition in three different venues on Tuesday night. While the Husky girls took to the field in soccer, field hockey and volleyball, each game had an underlying meaning.

Before the Huskies fell to Rye in field hockey, Harrison took time out to honor the seniors on the team. During the soccer game, where Harrison tied Byram Hills, players and coaches sold raffle tickets and wore special pink jerseys to show support for breast cancer awareness. Before the Harrison volleyball game, the team honored their graduating seniors and partook in a “Pink Out”, in which the athletes wore pink and the gym was decorated with pink streamers and balloons.
