Start showing some love to the defense of players in the county. Every week its all about the offence and out of the players to notiice there is rarely if at all a defensive player mentioned except the 1 player of the week.

in a couple more weaks hear, i think it might be time to forget about last year, and realize that northeast might be for real, in my honest opinion, northeast has everything that largo has... only a little bit better...
