Central Catholic midseason coach's chat

The Raiders are in the same position as Andover, only they have Tewksbury then Lowell, Chelmsford, Methuen and the Warriors on Turkey Day.

Coach Chuck Adamopoulos says:

Midseason Mr. Reliable: "Mike Smith. The Injury to Mike Leavitt forced him to play fullback, and he did a great job. Now, he's back in his spot at halfback, and is still running very well. Defensively, he's the only linebacker we've had start every game."

Midseason unsung hero: "Dave Kando. Injuries have forced us to move him between linebacker and defensive back, and he's done a great job for us in both spots."

Biggest surprise: "Our kicker-punter combination of Harrison Davis and Drew Guyer. They replaced what I thought was our best duo in my 25 years here (Colin Burkardt and Steve Schultz). I was worried, but they've both been excellent."

Second-half goal: "We just have to be more consistent. We've had great quarters and horrible quarters. That's got to stop."

How to make it happen: "Cut out the physical and mental mistakes."
