ETBlogs MVSports: Announcing the much-awaited, sure-to-be critiqued “All Longo Team” for 2008

    I know you've spent a while making this team but have you watched Whittier Tech play there DB Don Leighton has 9 interceptions and over 70 tackles and he's the type of kid that punishes the ball carriers and recievers and there RB Bryan Trickett is a great power runner and has the speed to.

    Why do you never include Philips Academy?

    Great year, Thanks for your coverage of HS football
    I would like to this team play together
  • LancerFaN 09 · 11 months ago
    good list but honestly feel that DEmetri Brown of lawrence shouldve been there over the kid of NOrth Andover... Julio valentin and Dimar Torres have figt for db's. But it's all love Mr. LOngo

    GREAT JOB...it seems you took your time and really thought through your choices.
    It might have been more politically correct and easier to go another route but your true football savvy has come out.

    Not one Clipper on the team? Between the QB and his two receivers, one of them should have made the cut, they all had better years than the guys chosen.
  • Hector Longo · 11 months ago
    Yeat, we don't include the Clippers on the blog, for the sole reason that the Daily News folks rejoined RallyNorth.net late in the year.
    It's a pretty good idea though. For the record, I'm a big Joe Clancy guy.
    As for the Phillips comment, we just don't see enough of PA or Brooks, but I'll keep it in mind in the future. The postgrad thing is always a sticking point.
    As for the Demetri Brown issue with LHS, the kid is a stud, 100 catches career, I mean he's big time, but there's only so much room, and it is only my team.

    Hector,
    Thanks for the attention that you have managed to squeeze in for our Amesbury Indians team; I know that your paper doesn't REALLY "cover" us; but many of Jesse's relatives are in Salem NH & Methuen, so they often SCOUR your paper looking for his name!
    But, we are playing in the superbowl on Saturday; so, I hope you will do a big story-specially if we win-with pictures!!!???!
  • FootballMum · 11 months ago
    Hector......in fact my husband delivered your newspaper while growing up in Salem, and his mom took over his paper route in 1975.....still has it to this day!!!!!!!!!LOL

    hector, why is nobody from masco on the team? what do you have against them?
  • Bill Burt · 11 months ago
    Relax Uncle Boca,

    They're not in the Rallynorth.net coverage anymore big guy.
    I would love to have them, because I respect the program and the athletes there a lot, but it's not my decision.
    HL

    Hey Hector, Just a interesting stat, Salem's Sophomore Qb in Cannone did not throw one interception this year. After I read this stat on MT's Moving the Chains I just wanted to let you know. Cannone was the unsung hero in every one of Salem's games.
