October 4, 1996 Recap (Friday Finals)

Fun fact, today marks a month since I resumed classic recapping. This is the first time ever a period of time I have done classic recaps has lasted over a month. The past 4 periods of time I did classic recaps only lasted a few weeks. I don't see an end to this current period of classic recapping until the middle of August when junior year begins
