Before it becomes "old news," I have to pass along hearty congratulations to Coach Tom Gilmore, the coaching staff and managers, and all the players for a winning Holy Cross football season!At the pre-season get-together with Coach Gilmore at Funky Murphy's on Shrewsbury Street, my friend and occasional Crossports poster "Jim" told HC Athletic Director Dick Regan that he thought HC would win seven games this year. Dick shouted over to Coach Gilmore, saying, "Hey Tom, this guy here already has you losing four games!" Everyone got some laughs from that, but Jim's seven-win prediction wasn't far off.
Fifth-year seniors Steve Silva (pictured) and Luke Dugan were a big part of the team's turnaround. Hopefully Steve will get his deserved consideration for the Payton Award.
And let's not forget senior QB John O'Neil, from White Plains, NY, who may be, statistically at least, the third-best quarterback to play at Holy Cross. He's played through injuries for the better part of two seasons, and had some rough spots in his senior year, so I'm happy he's able to walk away a winner.
