Tune in to “We had already submitted our numbers to the state,” McDuffie said. “That was done before the Board decided anything. A few weeks later, they started to move Middle TALK College into the building.” So, the Bennett kids are now sharing their building with kids who are attending Middle College - whose kids have to play at South Park. FOOTBALL!! “It’s a very odd situation,” McDuffie said. “I wish we had been able to do this a little differently, but our players and coaches really have no say in the matter.” Bennett has already been proclaimed as the Class C champion. With 5 offensive lineman who weigh at least 280 pounds, the Tigers will have a ridiculous size advan- tage over the other small-school teams in Class C. “There’s nothing I could do about it,” McDuffie said. “The kids goal was to be able to play Maine-Endwell and try to dethrone them. They were disappointed because they wanted to be the best at a higher level.” McDuffie tried to compensate by scheduling a game against Orchard Park, a traditional Class AA power. “We want to play one of the best teams in WNY,” McDuffie said. “We have to play who they tell us but for our non-league game, we wanted to try and find the best competition that we can.” Oh, by the way, in addition having a huge size advan- tage over every other Class C team, the Tigers starting RB from 2014, has already committed to play at Syracuse after graduation. Isaiah McDuffie, Steve’s son, was offered a scholarship to Syracuse to play football before he started his junior season. Isaiah has verbally committed to the Orange. “Syracuse offered Isaiah last summer when we came back from their camp,” Steve McDuffie said. “UB and Penn Be sure to LISTEN Saturday Morning from 10 to 11!! State had also offered him. We had a coach come in from UConn to offer him and Washington State also offered.” Isaiah McDuffie says he chose Syracuse because it was close to home. “It’s always been my dream to play college football in a Power Conference,” Isaiah said. “It’s been my dream since I was a little kid.” McDuffie says that, while he has verbally committed, he is more focused on winning at Bennett right now. “We plan on having a big year,” Isaiah said. “We have great teammates and we are just a big family. We want to win this thing together.” Steve McDuffie says that the Tigers are playing for more than a Section 6 title at The Ralph - or even a NYS title. “These kids are playing for their school,” he said. “Bennett has a long tradition in football and these kids are trying to save their school. They don’t want Bennett to Tony Caligiuri Sean Bruso Mike Ferrentino Roger Weiss close. We get no say in that. The only say we have is on the field this year.” (716) 803-0550 23 www.ucpioneers.com Team Reports

9 It’s not the critic who counts.

Not the man who points out where the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man marred by the dust and the sweat and the blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again and again...

...who at best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievements and who, at the worst, if he fails at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place will never be with those cold timid souls who know neither victory or defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt FootballWeeklyUpstate Are You Game?
