However, the Raiders also drafted quarterback Eldridge Dickey, who eventually was moved to wide receiver, but it still took Snake until the fourth game of the 1973 season to finally take over as the starting quarterback for the Silver and Black.

HIGHLANDÂ â Spectators will find a change of venue when the New Year s Eve fireworks are displayed next week.
Instead of the traditional location of Main Square Park, the Town Council said the show will be behind the high school.
There is more room in that area, which will allow for larger â and therefore higher â fireworks, said Town Councilman Roger Sheeman, R-5th.
