Jim Leflore just wouldn't be moved. I thought that Shaun Doherty and Phil Morrison were outstanding defensively, and Phil Aiello came up with his second interception in two games.
Jon is a three-sport athlete with athleticism, power and decent speed. He blocks well and we are looking for him to be the hub of the offense. Mike is athletic, is a three-sport athlete and is short, but rugged. Ryan has good speed and had some good moments last season.
John Jamieson puts a lot of time in with our special teams. They were outstanding in the game, including three key returns.
The extra week helped us since we're a young team, but the guys are definitely ready to start playing for real. We'll see what Ophelia brings, but they've got the turf down there and we're expecting to play regardless.
We saw them against Marlborough and they showed they had a lot of weapons. We know we're in for a battle.
I think that we can play better, but we played well enough to win. We are very young and we made some youthful mistakes, but the effort was solid. The puzzle isn't quite complete yet, but this is a step in the right direction.
Kyle is a good athlete with good speed and he has worked hard in the off-season. Pat has excellent size and has also worked hard. Phil missed last year because of an injury but is athletic and has played well.
I told the kids we made a mistake. We are a very young team and things like that happen.
We have some anchors returning from last season and they will be solid. How the players up from junior varsity make the adjustment to the new level will go a long way in determining our fate.
Brandon has good speed and works hard. Ben has excellent size and has had a great pre-season.
