Year two of our high school sports feature "high five" starts in a couple of weeks. We love getting nominations.....hint, hint. It can be a story about a great athlete, coach or team, or perhaps even better, a feature on a compelling human interest story.

Today we shot two such features on Bloomfield's Marcus Cooper and Mike Golic Junior of NW Catholic. Cooper scored 18 td's for the Warhawks last season and has drawn attention from a number of division one colleges. Golic, whose father works at ESPN, will play at Notre Dame just as his dad did. Both Cooper and Golic are terrific young men. I look forward to putting those features together in the coming weeks.

NW Catholic opens the season next Friday night at home under the lights with New London. The Whalers have knocked them off the last two seasons. Adding to the drama of the season opener, the return of highly successful and equally controversial New London Head Coach Jack Cochran. Can't wait.

UConn/Maine Saturday may be close for a half. But that's all. Huskies win 38-10.
