field great half job position reading ready
Reading was ready to play and they did a great job defensively. The first half we had unbelievable field position but we did nothing with it.
contender definitely football game healthier league playing ready strong teams year
Playing strong teams like Acton-Boxborough and Billerica have really toughened us up for Middlesex League play. A year ago we weren't ready for league play. Now we're in game shape. We'll definitely be a contender for the league title. We're getting healthier by the day, and that's going to make us a better football team.
league open ready worked
Now we are ready to open our Middlesex League season. This worked out well and this is where I thought we would be.
defending game great league players program says schedule turns
The schedule says we have to play Burlington first, and there's nothing you can do about that. They are the defending Middlesex League champs, with a great program and great players and coaches, and I think this game will have great implications on how the Middlesex League turns out.
coin defense emotional fortunate great involved rank toss win
If you are fortunate to win the coin toss you go on defense and find out what you have to do. This was a great emotional win for us. I've been involved in a lot of great games, but this will rank right up there.
injuries seen
I've never seen that in 36 years with two injuries like that (in one position) in the same game. McLaughlin has a fractured collarbone, but could be back in four-five weeks. Young's is a little more serious; his is broken.
danny football gives mike pass reading team wide
We are a better football team with Mike Duggan at wide receiver. He gives us more athleticism at wide out. And Danny at quarterback allows us to pass more. We did have some bugaboos in the Reading game.
