Gorham decribes 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 inthe 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 Providenc s five-man line until the Townies found themselves facing a 21-point deficit. But the Townies conditioning came through and the efense stopped La Salle from scoringagain. 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 weve never heard before. It was shouted with so much enthusiasm that you ust felt the gratitude and belief the kids had inwhat they were proclaiming. It was the longest and loudst chant on that memorable day. It was  BFS! BFS! BFS! <br>In the post-season awards, our 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 fotball 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 Lk. For example, J. T. was really istrumental in the games where Verron Haynes gained 197 yards against Mississippi and 200-plus yards against Georgia Tech, our biggest rival, because J. T. continued to open those holes. Wall agrees,  That s pretty much my role here, to open up the holes for our tailbacks. But when I get a carry here and there, I try t take advantage of it by mking them miss or running over them. <br><br>Dreaming On<br><br>Concerning Wall s goals for next season, Van Halanger says,  I know he really wanto get his 40 bet9Il,G0uH<Jf h0>JM4\3_.&q OUj~ȧ{F4tIxmc+(O), ĸ%G*G"Wl⿱ǧlnuܽ I|Y' ?\~?cL:?~aڈlfydQ~q#p ~'|`v~#ƫO&bZ>1ײE$%7qp9yZ \qi3۳wcGl CdI"DhȤ1cȐ~]5#犥%݇U#s6.%A:27v\bDCP1xl(-WpA"ѽmJurqI* ;bLGѓRB|RF׷n.T0B +$${q(r邯KTf Mto\'b+^c犹Qka) mVu?{: ͼ7RE[}I.y`&C#C?2-9&.9 @*]?ڕC,K4q5y[4CH,Ks՚F`MA2q?8a)$ڵkku$* *%uI6kF}򖳧ZMsLE0T#__7?k[<тZT}ݱ7o]4 7ezY% ,VTE_pNM(a LZ;Yub/;; ɷHt5ÝRӥC;=CJ Km RTƀ´hp;HcbPT}t3eq SȒAڹ.Lb Ho|!jG %[ck8Tޔl \`dvP=r=o1M7ik[JhMUcy\?^7jCĨ*OҀa1p(~p:-(q48 6-vZ9qxSa)pVSU=;`s3)ewaץqIl; 5+tƖqEW q0ITOҾ$5t1zPaj>XA!vn[Vߕ|po+ɷת&z~km fhH ȰD7ge6H
