Friend's helping hand

To get to the long and short of it, Morris' Danny Friend has made two, one-handed plays on the defensive side of the ball in the first two games of the postseason for the Redskins.

In the 44-0 playoff opener for Morris, he palmed a fumble at the Rich East 32-yard line and returned it 23 yards to set up a score and last week against Urbana, he tipped a pass at the line of scrimmage, batted it to himself and then returned it 37 yards — this time for the score.

Morris coach Alan Thorson said that both plays were real eye-poppers, starting first with the fumble recovery.

I will support it if it helps to lower my property taxes
