This is always a good game one that fans enjoy and you can throw away the stats. In this match up it doesn't matter. The outcome is determined by which team was the hungeriest for the victory. Let'sjust hope it is played cleanly, fairly with some good officiating. Caution to the fans: Maintain your cool! It's only a game.
You must be from catholic. Also catholic should move up to section 2 then you will be tested!!
I really enjoy this game. I hope everyone does to.
Maybe if you look over Catholic's roster you could see how unfair things really are for ANY opposing school before the games even start. How many public schools get kids from multiple counties? How could a team NOT be good that can take the best athletes from OUTSIDE the LL league? They have an excellent program, no doubt but come on, Section 3? It would be nice if our school allowed the kids to celebrate the anticipation of the game with a pep rally. At the end of the game, I hope they all the athletes are healthy and we show some determination and band together as a team and community no matter what the score is. As Mike Ditka once said, "before you can win, you have to believe that you are worthy" and this is what our kids need the most....some life lessons to make them believe they are winners!
Well said!! - October 19, 2010 9:25 AM.
