Stone Bridge Coach Mickey Thompson leaned back in his chair
earlier this month, his cellphone to his ear and West Springfield
Coach Bill Renner on the other end of the line.
A few days earlier, the news broke that Thompson's starting
quarterback -- and son -- Patrick Thompson would be out for six
weeks with a ruptured tendon in his throwing hand, and Renner was
seeking an update on Patrick's status and its impact on the teams'
season-opening game.
"We won't score many points and you'll light us up," Thompson
said, a broad smile spreading across his face.
Renner laughed when asked about the call.
"He always does that," Renner said. "He always acts like his team
is the worst in the world."
