Livingston resident, former player and member of the 1979-1980 team, Don Julich said he recalls the State Championship game well, in which teammate Joe Tracey scored the winning goal against Brick Township. According to Julich, the final win over Brick “was made sweeter because LHS had lost to them twice earlier that season.”
