The Barrons Sideline:
You’ve dug the hole, now, will you jump in or over it!
By: Charles
McDevitt –
The Woodbridge Football Team currently stands at 4 - 3,
with a huge Game 8 coming up on November 5, 2004, at 7pm against the East
Brunswick Bears away.
Two important questions will be answered in that
game.
First,
Is the Woodbridge Football Team really a Playoff contender, or just another .500
squad. Reality check gentleman! The Woodbridge Barrons haven’t defeated a
winning team yet this season. To advance
in the Playoffs, the Barrons better be a contender, because you will be facing the cream of the
crop, all winning football programs.
You
have shown moments of brilliance, and regrettably, moments of incompetence. That’s not easy to say. No one is a bigger fan and supporter of the
Woodbridge Football Program than me. I
believe you are capable of taking on and defeating the East Brunswick Bears,
and I fully expect that outcome.
Second,
the Playoffs! A 4 - 4 season record, may allow the Barrons to
squeak into the Playoffs with under 40 Power Points. But a 5 - 3 record
will guarantee you a Playoff appearance with a possible 5 / 6 seeding. You are in control of your own destiny. Win and your in!
There
is an old saying, “Just get in and everything will work out in the Playoffs”. Just getting there, isn’t what Coach Russo
has in mind for the Barrons in the Playoffs.
He expects them to compete to their utmost potential. He expects that to begin in
The
hole has been dug, now, will you jump in or over it!
