THE GREATEST GAME
ON EARTH
October 12,
2007
I don’t think there is a high
school athletic experience that can rival a
Friday night football game. Even as a basketball
guy, I would admit that the most fun I ever had
was on the gridiron. There was always something
exciting about the cool fall air, the blaring
music on the loud speaker, and the huge crowds
that fill most high school stadiums in Maine. I
will never forget the experience of playing
Biddeford at Waterhouse Field and having 4000
fans taunt us before each snap. They were so
crazy back then. And it wasn’t just the varsity
teams that Tiger fans went after. I once got
heckled by an elderly Biddeford man after losing
an eighth grade game at Waterhouse. I was
walking to the bus with a friend and the man
yelled, “Hey, why don’t you bring your freshmen
team down here and we will beat them too.” It
was intimidating, but I loved it. What I would
do for just one more game.

I am so excited to
have the opportunity to write again. Not so much
because I enjoy sitting at my computer agonizing
over what to write, god knows I hated that
feeling in college. But more because I get to
return to this little fantasy world I created
for myself while writing for the Windham
Independent. So thanks to Chris Spaulding
for again providing me an opportunity to share
with you my experiences as a coach and the many
outstanding achievements of the student-athletes
I have been so fortunate to be associated at
Windham. Read More
