re: Notre Dame vs. Riverside Academy, Division III State Championship game.

ND is always a great defense. I played defense there. The attention to detail every week is pretty insane. You get booklets breaking down everything from teams; you'll know the tendencies. Loads and loads of preparation. And like you said not really any big time D1 talent, just great preparation from the program. And they get it in your head to play hard and aggressive.

They have loads of talent this year, though. And I can tell you first hand Coach Mccleary (defensive coordinator) is as good a man as it gets. He works so hard. He continues to get better and better at this.
