Couple cheers for son Matt, rest of Warriors

Who's your favorite Warrior? Their son Matt is a senior linebacker for the Warriors. "He loves being part of the team and loves playing the game so much. I know he has enjoyed working with the younger guys and being like a mentor to them."

How long have you been going to games? He's been playing since seventh grade but we started going when he was in sixth. We have sat on a lot of benches watching him play, but it's what he loves. He loves all sports. The first thing in the morning is ESPN and the last thing at night is ESPN."

What is your favorite part of football other than the game itself? "The camaraderie. I like seeing all the boys having fun. Our niece (Cara Daunno) also cheers so we watch her."

What is your favorite concession stand food? "Definitely the sausage and peppers (which Charlene makes)."

What is your fondest memory of Warrior football? "The Immaculata game even though we lost (12-0). The team played great and it was Matt's best game ever."
