Having just returned back from several days of fishing on Lake Winnibigoshish we have to apologize for the slow turn around today on Andy’s latest report from Johnnie football camp.  As Andy indicates there hasn’t been a decision on the starting quarterback position however my bet is a replay of 2004 when AK-11 made his way onto the field as a 4th [...]
