My son is the punter so I can verify that we've never punted. We did line up in punt formation one time way back in the Phillipsburg game, but Phillipsburg was penalized prior to the snap and so we never punted.

Were those tilted DT's and stand-up 4-3 DE's I saw in game clips from last year?

I was looking over there roster and what struck me odd was the height of this team. Through the years Smith Center has always been known as very strong and with a fair amount of big kids. This years team a decent amount of kids in the normal 200-220 range, but many of their better players are in the 6'2"-6'5" range. That makes it extra hard to stop them due to their length to go with their strength and speed.

I have not seen them play although I coach in Kansas. My dad went to their last game (I am a St John alum, their most recent victim). He made the comment that their DLine was tall and could find the ball easily and that their LBers were "animals." He said St John almost scored on them. A kid could have picked up a fumble and taken it in but he jumped on it instead. That is probably the closest anyone has come to scoring on them.

I know how Plainville feels... i've been on the end of those type of games, but they happen. What makes matters harder for Barta is the fact he is originally FROM Plainville. He grew up and went to school there. He was the last person in the world that wanted to have this happen to Plainville. As the old saying goes... "Sh*t Happens".

www.nytimes.com/2007/11/09/sports/football/09football.htmlA couple interesting quotes: "Each player and cheerleader signs a contract pledging to remain alcohol-, drug- and tobacco-free. If they break that promise, they must go to the elementary school to explain to the children why they were kicked off their team, and their cards are revoked." “None of this is really about football,” he added. “We’re going to get scored on eventually, and lose a game, and that doesn’t mean anything. What I hope we’re doing is sending kids into life who know that every day means something.”

I was thinking.. how in the world are the killing folks with those kiids.. then I got down and realized that the ones with all the stars on the helmets were their real men.. the ones with out the stars look like my kids..

Line averages about 220 and the backs come in at about 210. LOT is something like 360. BTW, they run to the left much more than the right side.
