HELLO
HELLO AND
HELLO AND WELCOME TO WEEK 8 OF FRIDAY FOOTBALL FEVER... AND GUYS I'M NOT EXAGGERATING
WHEN I SAY 'THIS IS AN EPISODE
LIKE WE HAVE NEVER HAD
BEFORE'-- WE HAVE REGULAR SEASON
AND PLAYOFF
MATCHUPS, UNDEFEATED TEAMS
TRYING TO AVOID
UPSETS, AND ONE OF THE BEST
MOMENTS OF THE
SEASON
SEASON HAPPENED RIGHT HERE, IN OUR GAME OF THE WEEK.../
AND SPEAKING OF OUR GAME OF THE
WEEK, VANDEGRIFT
HOSTED HUTTO IN A BATTLE BETWEEN
TWO OF THE TOP
DEFENSES IN 25-6A...
SUGG:
SUGG: "WE
SUGG: "WE HIT HARD. WHENEVER WE DO EXECUTE WELL, WE HIT HARD."
BOGARDUS: "I THINK OUR DEFENSE
IS GOING TO COME OUT ON
TOP. WE GOT A SQUAD OVER THERE
AND THEY'RE ALWAYS
WORKING HARD."
WATSON: "WE HAVE A BAD TASTE IN
OUR MOUTHS RIGHT NOW ABOUT
LAST WEEK."
BOGARDUS: "THERE'S NO EGOS."
LAPLANTE: "THEY'RE DISTRICT
CHAMPS UNTIL SOMEBODY
KNOCKS THEM OFF, SO THEY'VE GOT
A GOOD STREAK GOING RIGHT NOW."
SANDERS: "WE'VE GOT A LOT OF NEW
STARTERS AND THEY'VE KIND OF
REALIZED THAT WE'VE GOT THIS
LONGSTANDING TRADITION OF
GREAT DEFENSE HERE. THEY'VE
REALIZED THEIR ROLES AND
THEY'RE DOING A REALLY GOOD
JOB."
LAPLANTE: "WE JUST HAVEN'T PUT
OUR BEST GAME ON THE FIELD YET
FOR
OUR GUYS TO KNOW HOW GOOD THEY
ARE
ARE AND
ARE AND THIS FRIDAY WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO DO THAT." LET'S 'GET MOVING' WITH OUR 'QC
KINETIX GAME OF THE
WEEK'
WEEK'
WEEK' TONIGHT'S GAME STARTED WITH AN
MOMENT THAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE-- AS
UNFORGETTABLE... 'TOMMY
HARTMAN' IS A TEAM MANAGER, WHO
IS FUNNY, SMART, AND THE
LIFE OF THE PARTY-- HE ALSO HAS
AUTISM... TONIGHT, ON
SENIOR NIGHT, TOMMY PLAYED IN
HIS FIRST HIGH SCHOOL
GAME, AND SCORED A 49 YARD
TOUCHDOWN...
VIPERS HEAD COACH 'DREW SANDERS'
TOLD US TOMMY'S
FAVORITE RESTAURANT-- IS
WHATABURGER... I THINK THIS
PLAY-- AND THE CELEBRATION
THAT FOLLOWED--
DEFEINITELY EARNED HIM A
'DOUBLE-MEAT, DOUBLE-
CHEESE'../
MOMENTS LATER, THE VIPERS
OTHER RUNNING BACK
'BOWEN LEWIS' SAID "OUR
BACKFIELD IS LOADED WITH
STARS!!"... THE CAPTIAN TOOK-
OFF FOR A 40+ YARD SCORE OF
HIS OWN.../
TO THE SECOND QUARTER, THE
VIPERS WERE ALREADY UP 2
SCORES WHEN THEY REACHED INTO
THEIR BAG OF TRICKS-- AND
THIS BAG ISN'T 'PAPER OR
PLASTIC' THEIR TRICKS COME
OUT OF ONE OF THOSE LOUIS
VUTTON, PRADA, HIGH-DOLLAR
BAGS... "RYAN BACK" TO "GRAYLIN
SPRING" TO
"COOPER DUPREE"... THAT SETUP
ANOTHER VIPERS SCORE...
VANDEGRIFT LED 38-ZIP AT THE
BREAK, THEY WON THIS ONE,
38 TO 6..
38 TO 6..
SO
SO YOU'VE
SO YOU'VE SEEN THE HIGHLIGHTS AND YOU KNOW THE SCORE TO OUR GAME OF THE WEEK, BUT MY
FREIND EMILY GIANGRECO HAD
A
A CHANCE
A CHANCE TO DIG EVEN DEEPER INTO THIS ONE...
SHE JUST FINISHED TALKING WITH
COACH AND JOINS US WITH MORE.../
HEY EMILY
HEY EMILY
HEY EMILY JEFF THE VIPERS WENT UP AGAINST
ONE OF THE TOUGHEST
DEFENSES
DEFENSES IN THE DISTRICT AND STILL PUT UP 38 POINTS. THAT SAYS A LOT ABOUT THIS TEAM
AND NORMALLY I
DON'T LIKE TO HAVE THE FINAL
SCORE TELL THE STORY BUT IN
THIS CASE IT DOES.
IT WAS 35 UNANSWERED POINTS IN
THE FIRST HALF AND VANDEGRIFT ONLY ALLOWED 6 BY THE
HIPPOS AT THE END OF
THIS ONE. TALK ABOUT SUCCEEDING
IN ALL THREE
PHASES, THIS TEAM SEEMED
UNSTOPPABLE TONIGHT AND
IT'S SOMETHING HEAD COACH DREW
SANDERS ISN'T SUPRISED
TO SEE. HE SAYS THEY SET A GOAL
EACH WEEK AND THEY
TEND TO MEET IT.
A LOT OF THINGS TO BE THANKFUL
FOR
FOR
A
A LOT
A LOT OF
A LOT OF THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR
FOR
A
A LOT
A LOT OF
A LOT OF THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR
FOR
FOR THERE
FOR THERE IS PLENTY TO BE THANKFUL
FOR AND THE ONE COACH MENTIONED, TOMMY HARTMAN
IS THE
REAL THE STORY OF TONIGHT. A
PLAY THAT REMINDED US
FOOTBALL IS BIGGER THAN
HIGHLIGHTS AND FINAL SCORES..ITS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE UNFORGETTABLE
MOMENTS LIKE THIS ONE...
HARTMAN WHO HAS AUTISIM HAS
BEEN A KEY MEMBER ON THE VANDEGRIFT FOOTBALL TEAM.
NORMALLY HE'S ON THE
SIDELINES HELPING OUT BUT
TONIGHT THE SENIOR GOT
HIS CHANCE TO BE ON THE FIELD,
WITH HIS TEAM. A MOMENT
HE'LL NEVER FORGET, TOMMY
RUNNING INTO THE END ZONE,
SCORING A TOUCHDOWN FOR THE
VIPERS AND PUTTING
THE BIGGEST SMILE ON EVERYONE'S
FACE..NO
MATTER WHICH TEAM YOU'RE PLAYING
ON OR ROOTING FOR.
I WAS NOT EXPECTING TO PLAY BUT
I DID GET A CHANCE...AS A SENIOR.
ITS SENIOR NIGHT.
THEY
THEY WANTED TO HONOR ME WITH A TOUCHDOWN... WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT FOR
LIKE 4 WEEKS.
WHEN YOU GOT INTO THE END ZONE,

YOUR
