“We know Springfield runs a Wing-T offense. They’re large, much, much bigger than us and they’re very good,” Delco Christian Coach Jim Favino said.
But Favino shared the team's support and faith in one another that's kept them going this season.
“But at this point, our kids realize that they’re part of something special this year," said Favino. "This team really cares about each other. I’d go anywhere with these kids because they won’t stop. It makes for a whole different atmosphere.”
And a belief that they can’t lose.
