Matthew had won this battle__ battle in a war marked no more by yards on an open field, but by scars unseen.

In football, side netting can sometimes look like a real goal and it can make spectators jubilate for a moment, and then ponder! So is life!

Onde you bid farewell to discipline you day goodbye to success

I still remember what my father said "There are on the stadium 22 idiots, which are running after ball.". From where did he knew that??He knew it from guarding the stadium, so my question is why we don't watch how a dog catch a ball?But we watch 22 idiots running after the ball??What are the differences??That the dog can't kick the ball, but the humanity can?? - Wow, wow that's a great discovery for a dumb person!

The recruiter didn't bother to introduce himself when Alumbaugh extended his hand. Instead, he turned to Aliotti and said: "He's not six-foot-one."Nice to meet you, too, Alumbaugh thought.

Owen Owens Field embodies the name of the team that calls it home. It's Spartan to the core.

De La Salle hung on for the 28-21 victory. Afterward, Ladouceur stood before his exhausted team. It was by far the biggest victory in school history at the time, but the coach noticed that several of his players wore masks of disappointment. "It's OK to feel disappointed if you didn't play your absolute best," he told them. "That's what we're all about.

He hadn't developed into the accomplished running quarterback many had predicted he would become over the course of the season.But he had come to personify this team. He was raw and untested when the season began, but he played his two best games in the two biggest games on the schedule. He wasn't the player anybody expected him to be, but he got the job done-at times spectacularly.

I learned a long time ago that there is something worse than missing the goal, and that's not pulling the trigger.

Will we ever see his like again? It is doubtful. But at least for a brief moment in time we were lucky to have him as one of our own: an English lionheart who was the terror of the continent, who earned the love and respect of everyone who had the privilege to see him in action and above all was a thoroughly decent hero of whom we can be proud. Rest in peace 'Big Dunc'. Your feats will echo in eternity.

But how a game plan came to be, what a finished plan looked like, I had no idea. I__ heard that all copies were shredded as soon as the game was over.

She's a Texan, born and raised. Football is in our blood.

Understatement has become part of the tradition. A proposal to build a history room to house the football team's memorabilia was immediately shelved when many former players complained. What makes this program so special is what you carry in your heart, they argued, not what you hang on the wall.

A friend tells a story about taking his ten-year-old son to a Jets game. The game was being played during a driving rain on a freezing cold day, and the Jets lost by twenty points to a team they were supposed to beat. As they headed toward the exits, the boy looked up, with tears in his eyes, and asked, 'Dad, why are we Jets fans?

Is it or is it not a matter of importance that a young man starts out in life with an ability to shut his jaw hard and say "I will," or "I will not," and mean it?

If we had played Poly a hundred more times that year we wouldn't have beaten them again. On that night we found a way. It was an unbelievable thing. It was a marvelous, miraculous win." -Coach Frank Allocco

You all know and lived the 'secrets' to De La Salle's success-love, brotherhood, sacrifice, discipline, heart, courage, passion, honesty. These are not just 'catch words' we throw around to impress others or justify our existence. We know what these mean because we created it and lived it. Understand that with that knowledge there is no turning back for us-ignorance is not an option. It is your future duty, no matter where you end up, to create the environment you have created here by bringing your best selves to the table.

A man with new ideas is a madman, until his ideas triumph.
