Had the good fortune of playing with the guys of late 70's and this years team is the only one I have seen since have that chemistry. From the coaches to the players there are no individuals only teamates!
In the last 30+ years I have only missed a handful of games. I have seem some great individual talent at numerous positions but not a team chemistry, maybe 1989 with Coach Malone and then Dustin Long's state campaign but still nothing like these young men and coaches.
Every time a player is interviewed they alway mention the rest of the team. No matter how far they go in the playoffs we as fans have gotten the pleasure of seeing something special.
In an early post some one compared Harmon to Eicher, I graduated with Justin and he was a beast along with James Shipley. Justin had the good fortune of running behind an o-line that was the high school equivalent of the Cowboys when Emmitt Smith had his good years. I've known Caleb for years and if he had Justin's size it would be scary.
I want to thank all the coaches from the last few years who helped groom these young men to make it easy on coach Faircloth's group to turn them into what you see today.
Once again this is a true team from top to bottom and to see this out of todays youth makes me proud to be an NDN for life! Keep it up guys, enjoy what you have accomplished and have fun the rest of the season. 30 years from now you'll look back an understand what I'm talking about, it don't get no better than this! Ya'll are truely a special group!
