2 years ago, most of these kids were in the Pop Warner program!
They're really special! This year, the Turkey Day game will be played
in Neptune. It's an old rivalry! I know, because for years, I took
one boy from Asbury and one from Neptune to Breakfast at 6:00 AM in
the morning, down to the old L M Diner, on the Asbury Circle. Mr,
Conti, the former coach of Asbury Park, then coaching for Ocean
Township knew me from my coaching days in Neptune.
My 5 kids, went through the Neptune program and are still friends with
their old rivals, who if they won, would come to my Neptune home,
eat and brag all day or it was wait until next year. I saw a
special on HBO about Ohio State adn Michigan. Now THAT's a rivalry.
My rival, when I attended Xavier Prep, was St. Augustine's, Home of
the Marching 100. Not only did my high school beat them for 4
consecutive years, but I was once married to one of their football
players! Our Gold and White High School Band beat theirs, back then,
too! We wore the Pope's colors, so we knew we were special! So much
for marrying a Catholic!
High School prepares kids, for the real world. At least it did, when
I was a student. I had never heard of gangs before, mostly because I
was raised under a rock! The things a kid has to do to fit in, today,
makes me wince! For some of these kids, this will be their last big
thing. They certainly will have something to tell thier kids, in
later years, if they get to live that long. I certainly support
anything this town, wishes to do!

here's a thought regarding taxpayer money or funds raised by
citizens/mm/ asbury partners. Win or lose something special should
be done for this football team by this town. Show these kids (and
the younger ones who look up to them) what can happen with hard work
and dedication. It also sends a message that the town is united and
is willing to stand behind the kids when they do good things, not
just arrest them when they do bad things. Any ideas?

The APHS Football team is going to play for their section of the
State
Championship next Saturday, probably at Rutgers.
They are 9-1, having won 9 straight. An enourmous turn around
from
last year when they were 1-9. In their defense, the board of ed
last
year acutally let them start the season without having a coach.
Anyway, since APHS hasn't won a title in 23 years and hasn't
played
for one in 20, this is historic.
A town gets judged by its football.
Maybe it would be a good idea to go up to Rutgers next weekend to
support them.
It just so happens that Howell is playing the same day at Rutgers
for
a Championship in a different sectiton, so I get a 2 for 1.
Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your home page.
