MCA Experineces First Major Injury of the Season

The injury bug hit the Mount Carmel Area Red Tornadoes this week.  It wasn't an injury to a key offensive or defensive player, but to the head coach.  Carmen DeFrancesco blew out his ACL and MCL during a punt return drill.  DeFrancesco will have surgery after the season. 

Hall of Famer and former college teammate of Joe "Jazz" Dimminick Art Donovan once said, "ACL's and MCL's, they didn't have those in my day."

Who will be the new MCA coach?

The MCA Board meets this evening with the possiblity to name a successor to Bob Chesney. Will Carmen Defrancesco return after an 17-year exile filled with success?

Chase Utley's "F" Bomb in a week of "F" Bombs

Chase Utley drops the "F" Bomb

and is wildly cheered.

Last week, I dropped the "F" Bomb to one person and was kicked out of Mifflinburg High School. I guess my undergraduate degree at Villanova got the best of me. Utley was overwhelmed by close to 2 million people showing up for a parade thinking Chase is special.

Back in the 80's, I would have been overwhelmed if 2 coeds from Sheehan Hall thought I was special.

Shout Out

A special shout out goes to Coach Carmen Defrancesco of Upper Dauphin who recorded his 100th win as a head coach. The win propels the Trojans into the District III A playoffs as the seventh seed.
