I thought they won a lot of individual battles in the first half. They set the tone and tempo. The second half we did a better job of stepping up in some of the individual battles.
If, in fact, Christen is not playing this week, then everybody is going to have to step it up a notch and I know they'll do that. Last week we had a terrible week of practice and I think that was shown on (last Friday against Central Crossing, which hadn't scored since the second quarter of its opener and dropped to 0-4).

New York is to the nation what the white church spire is to the village - the visible symbol of aspiration and faith, the white plume saying the way is up!
Salutations; it's just my fancy way of saying hello or good morning
A library is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or undecided, for there in a book, you may have your question answered
"What's miraculous about a spider's web?" said Mrs. Arable. "I don't see why you say a web is a miracle--it's just a web." "Ever try to spin one?" asked Mr. Dorian.
The main thing I try to do is write as clearly as I can. I rewrite a good deal to make it clear.
