Last Saturday at Corcoran Stadium the ITC Eagles won again and made one step closer to the ultimate goal, a perfect season. The game went as smooth and easy as the last, and had the same result. A blowout victory of a previously unbeaten Phoenix team. And it was done in the way you have come to expect of The Eagles, the downhill running game of Kasheim "Buck" Jones, Delquan Ross, Shakier Denim and Chris Williams and a defense that has held teams to an average of 8 points a game compared to the 36.5 points we average on offense.The most memorable moment of the game however came at a moment were we all realized that life isn't just all about football. It was late in the third quarter and Chris
Williams had just crossed the goal line for one of his two touch downs of the day when coach Reese yelled to him "Go give it to her" and took a time out. Then Williams trotted to the stands and handed his touchdown ball to his mother who has been in the hospital, in a moment that will be remembered with all the great ones this season.However now this Saturday has faded from the minds of the Tech football players for now because the time to remember a great season is when there is nothing left to leave on the field and the season is over.
For now our minds are set on redemption, for next Saturday we face a team that embarrassed us last season . Those of us who remember want nothing more than to return the favor and its sure to make a great game. So join us next Saturday as the ITC Eagles face off against their toughest opponents yet, the Cazenovia Lakers at Cazenovia.For More photos, Check out IT Central's Flickr Stream

Remember what Fonzie was like? Cool. That's how we're gonna be -- cool. Critical is fine, but if you're rude, we'll delete your stuff. Have fun and thanks for adding to the conversation!
