Last year, the Wolves beat Huygens by only one point "I was concerned about that narrow one point victory," Larry said, "but, watch this". He passed Griff the film of his team's slaughter of the Clairemont Swifts. Griff responded with a film of Huygens victory over Humboldt. Huygens 27 - Humboldt 10. He ordered ricotta waffles with bacon; watched with horror as scrambled eggs on home fries, the whole topped with cheese, green and red peppers, and deep fried onion rings were triumphantly delivered on Larry's plate.
The conversation turned to shared experiences of career ending knee injuries. For Larry, this had occurred early -- at Arizona State, just when he was positioned to step into the lead Quarterback position. Subsequently, as Diablo Mountain Head Football Coach, Larry built a team that year after year led the area D3 standings. No upstart new coach, who had made it as far as the Raiders, was going to interfere with another perfect season for the Wolves, Larry, who had mashed all the ingredients on his plate together, informed Griff. Griff responded by ordering a second side of bacon. "Last year scoring against your Defense was difficult," he said to Larry. "But, we are already working on this."
