  • JIM’S VIEW: Watertown Plays First-Place Burlington Tough at Victory Field

    There is no substitute for practice, and in football there is a lot of it. At the high school level, except for an occasional day off here and there, it's play Friday night, watch film on the weekend, practice Monday through Thursday and then play again on Friday. And football practice can be monotonous, running the same play over and over again until it's executed to perfection. But, in the end, it's all worth it, especially when everything clicks on the field on game day!
