The Berkley Bears played against the Royal Oak Ravens at the Homecoming football game on September 30th. The marching band led the crowd in the fight song, the alma mater and “Go Bears” and the student section kept the energy up at the game. It was a full house as the Bears took on their rivals. The Bears beat the Ravens 30-7.
Spirits were high throughout the game, and the students section, the Bear Pack, made sure to work in their tradition of a roller coaster. At halftime, student performances included the dance team and the marching band and Homecoming Royalty was presented to the crowd.
