Last season we were fourth in the conference as seventh-graders but when we defeated New Lenox Martino, I knew this season had some real good possibilities.
Last season we were fourth in the conference as seventh-graders but when we defeated New Lenox Martino, I knew this season had some real good possibilities.
A lot of people from my neighborhood turned out to be well known. In a ten-block radius from my home, there was Eddie Fisher, Al Martino, Buddy Greco, Frankie Avalon, Fabian, Bobby Rydell, Sunny Gale (she was a wonderful singer), David Brenner, Jack Klugman. Mario Lanza was in my family by marriage.
He (Martino) came to us with a custom bottle. He asked us to create not just another product.
I think in the second half we started to play much better. We started switching the ball from one side to the other. We had some guys running to the ball. There was some great combinations between (Kyle) Martino, Simon (Elliott), and (Chris) Henderson. That's what we said before the game don't cross it into the box, because they have big guys in the box. Just cross it in on the ground, and you never know what will happen. And basically, we were lucky to get that goal.
