Everybody knows I'm from New Jersey. I have nothing but love for my Haddon Heights teammates and the Garnets...but, it was just meant to be for me to have the opportunity to be a Linganore Lancer. When my parents divorced, my Pops stayed in Mt. Airy and my Moms moved to Jersey. So even before I was old enough to appreciate the "tradition" of a true powerhouse team, I was already a part of it. At Linganore, anything short of a Chip (Championship) is viewed as failure. I came across this quote on the MVAL website, "Some teams would view a 7-3 record a successful season. Not the Lancers. Anything less than a state championship run is viewed as sub-par in Mt. Airy. Coach Rick Conner believes if the Lancers stay healthy they can compete. Maryland commit RB Joe Riddle will lead the Lancers. The I-70 rivalry with Urbana could settle the conference title and a playoff spot in the ultra-tough "region of death" (3A West). Coach Conner and the Lancers know a 7-3 record will not be good enough to get Linganore into the playoffs in 2011, so every regular season game is a playoff game to them". With Championships in the 80's, 90's and 00's, winning (7-3) is acceptable...Championships are. Aim for the moon, if you miss, you're still among the stars...aim for the ground and you'll probably wind up in the gutter.

New year...Same expectations
Hello, my name is John Harris and H.E.A.R.T Athletics LLC is the name of the company I started during my last year in the military. H.E.A.R.T Athletics LLC is a company that aims to bridge the gap between a common sports phrase (heart; having it, using it, wearing it on your sleeve...etc.) and the athletes who exude it. It has been my life long dream to start my own business while providing a unique product to athletes and sports fans just like myself. Having "H.E.A.R.T" means so much to me because as a football player, I wasn't the biggest or the fastest, but I played hard each and every down I was on the field. One of my most favorite memories is walking onto a Division 1AA football team and not only making the team, but starting as a Freshman Cornerback for the season. I hope you find my blog entertaining and inspiring, ultimately pushing YOU to achieve lofty goals.
