I want to give a huge thumbs up to Football teams throughout the state that agree to play new opponents with little or no preparation. The chance to play is what is important. It’s hard to digest that but we are all just one phone call away from losing what’s left.

How isn’t Greg Schiano still not named The HFC of Rutgers? Forget about just Rutgers for a moment, this might be the biggest mishap in the history of all sports. How did this happen? I hope someone in the RU athletic department can explain this one!

In a few short months from now this account will disappear. A new person will begin their journey as the AD here at Colonia HS. Tonight I stood on the sideline for my 43rd season as an assistant , head coach and now AD. 31 were at Colonia. Lately it has been surreal.

The Largest classroom on this earth is the playing field. It teaches the most comprehensive lessons. Unless you have experienced it then you can never understand the feeling of being involved on a team. I know many disagree but as long as we agree to disagree it’s ok!
