This is Rocky,<br />
AKA “Moose”<br />
or “Blockhead.”<br />
Rocky was our<br />
precious “puppy”<br />

to everyone and<br />
didn’t have a bad<br />
bone in his body<br />

He adored<br />
people, food and all animals.<br />

high school sports season.<br />
“I honestly originally<br />
thought we would just be<br />
doing it during the football<br />
season. It turned into us<br />
doing it the whole year,”<br />
said Dwojak, who is also<br />
the sports editor of 22nd<br />
