Gorham describes the semifinal game as a  good ol fashioned mud fest against St. Raphael Academy. The game was highlighted by senior fullback Jamie Silva s 173 yards and three touchdowns on the slippery turf and a 26-21 victory. Finally, they found themselves in the championship game against the number-one seed, La Salle. <br>La Salle was riding a 24-game winning streak that included two state championships. When the game began, the more than 8,000 fans in attendance saw La Salle pick apart East Providence s five-man line until the Townies found themselves facing a 21-point deficit. But the Townies conditioning came through and the defense stopped La Salle from scoring again. Likewise, the offense did its part as their spread-option attack shocked La Salle with 35 unanswered points, winning East Providence the state title, 35-21. <br>On the bus ride home, the atmosphere was electric.  On any bus ride anywhere after that kind of achievement, kids sing and chant a lot of different things, says Coach Gorham.  This year a chant came from the back of the bus that we ve never heard before. It was shouted with so much enthusiasm that you just felt the gratitude and belief the kids had in what they were proclaiming. It was the longest and loudest chant on that memorable day. It was  BFS! BFS! BFS! <br>In the post-season awards, four Townies earned first-team all-state honors, with Silva earning a full scholarship to Boston College. With all his players achievements and his own coaching success, it wouldn t surprise anyone if Coach Gorham pursued a job at the college level. But he says,  I m very happy where I am right now. I think I can have a greater impact on kids lives at the high school level than at the collegiate level. Coach Gorham enthusiastically acknowledges his players commitment to the BFS program as a major force behind their team s greatness.  Two players who were starters on the offensive line hadn t even played football the previous year, and three of the other members on the offensive line weren t even able to start on the Junior Varsity team. They got started with BFS. BFS made these young men effective players and allowed them to make a major contribution to our team.<br> I remember reading a quote attributed to the legendary coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Tom Landry. He said,  Coaching is getting players to do what they don t want to do so that they can become what they ve only dreamed of becoming. With the BFS program it doesn t take much to get them to want to do it. There are immediate rewards: they are breaking records right away, automatically establishing new goals. It s so exciting and reassuring to know that there is a resource like BFS available to coaches to help them guide <br>their kids to become the players  they have only dreamed <br>of becoming. <br><br>What the Players at East ProvideQ,[NSo /"pU op~[:V?ez*xfJoBIQnV€Ҩef 5hks1_+ɪYĎy Q~xVc c8ҽ|+#_Ual.sT{o#sG]ͤ mKV^6^k0!꧷C{fR8jv$*Nږ;ak&sl: zF$6tD(80-,I"cƮӂ Wq@b:aF|{:a_Db7QDXe-F)#p$eO9ua E+ ؜i Hj sF$  XpoM{Xň !$+f$,2' \/B[ 1'ʋ*3__=tf[ᅫsB4вu}}Zƅ,scWoPuzʴhX!eRG4ˈ kXVs#Z-FC[u9{rXm_6 /sj{fhD+p,AB $Iw̻bns4}Iб-@m\< ߝb1TP$g7(󨣋nw*`WVa,V[.j/G=pD5NM\|k; d[:"<}Ng#Ѩ"vRq[^ڃ"7P\cPbe+`[ Hcqx>ÙM3ʻFFcF?8\k^å79sEnafg w]:-nѴjsOnk }-]55~E#EXyx⫇UmhyȲ7wFw*#Fxg:sSܲ17 }3yQ*c$G@$5vP9:i?4Mj^]&hW5)? 7aUfwn%ڀj!@AEKߺ'Q$UKڹ}+pƣ"ʇd67åK7Ȣv^8ȍ}^ȣը7ۧ* EZŘfxU#oe )1V=Gc4k*IE&YDT_HՙƒQ;W&_i^"e#2i[}hq([$p:ƀñē|(uX)5U`ٌz#Yϕ,&U_j_k:Xg&ǟPMsƈV _3އ -Ճr}֡<Y[ /2Il w;QY$᭟ʖm'h$RMמj læ'I#Rv5ǀˁƼW8Z.yW \yWF|*=9aά-וvY؎7cWĞp(l$B1zR\W'ilۉFݕ3?lp"AշS!:2wǶۂ;F c޼5J Ǩ(0*';q,+ӏs0+ XZs5b@r44"XQDG 8)?e~w 31~J;6Jv̓Th^ RuJD HGc: (ayWN(ӡ5駚ϋ* Ds2 !l(6mg omomYFYk#rmƁh \OQi70F/*qz(yd^_n&T}}19]GR G{V#$[ [9X1ۥ`3rOW,X8Ձ ` zACDRvxnCj[Plۃ|F6{^F ,Ie%nkA*̢)E>_A)ߨ1ް?3\Ѱx1g#Bk"| 1Wx x+f͊ԅjBWqzq`UA+ִ t]W}6ps '.GºKNu] ^$1eWDȫZO'偔^F8ꑿI%PxRfҝ)Vi RO!54w_KiuXˠXH'^jZ5 oPIVcH`F/|=rLբKnK$QUޝY[=7$W:͵rER[ozop㊊Zҽic-A$T`+G-Y<,jS-WIќj.ʿ<pvCۈB0^GUq?vXq_qdҜ~}pEu ;>fH7Zz7S^XeWFO  ̍5䐌L(Uߤuֻ$|Cl~G]TP
