Finally, it has been a few years since Seneca has played Damascus. How do you feel about the role the old rivalry will play in this years meeting?

I believe a lot of the coaches are more excited about playing Damascus then the players, because many of us are alumni who actually played against them in the past or coached against them. Most of our kids do not remember even playing Damascus. They still think Northwest as the # 1 rival. However, the staff will let the players know about this great rivalry no renewed.
