A year ago at this point we were 1-1 and that bus ride home from Keene wasn't a good feeling. This is a good league. We're glad to be 2-0.

It'll be 10 years on Dec. 5.

We're going into it cautiously. We all believe there is still a certain sanctity to a school bus.

I was in the ambulance when he went to the hospital. What I remember is the firemen - and one fireman in particular - trying to save him. I've never seen an effort like that in any athletic event.

He was a big, strong offensive and defensive tackle. He had high standards and a great work ethic.

That was his and we're just not going to use that number.

It was a good offensive effort.

Defensively we were very good against the run (Keene had 39 yards rushing in the game) and we tackled well, but we need to get better against the pass. Our defense will be fine.

He's talked about every year and I just talked to this year's team about him a week ago. He was a very, very fine football player.
