Team BC preview: They are ready for Ontario East


The best pre-university football tournament in Canada, the Football Canada Cup, begins July 11th in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. Team British Columbia 2010 will compete at the Football Canada Cup for the first time since 2000. Team BC won the Football Canada Cup in 1999 (under-19 format) when they hosted the tournament at BC Place Stadium. The majority of players that make up Team BC are from BC High School Football, which plays American rules football. Team BC will have a tough test in their tournament opening game against Ontario East. Ontario East won the Football Canada Cup in 2009 in the under-17 category.

Q & A WITH TEAM B.C. HEAD COACH TOM KUDABA
VANCOUVER, B.C. ā€“ A question-and-answer with Tom Kudaba, head coach of provincial
under-18 team that will represent British Columbia at the 2010 Football Canada Cup to be
held at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia from July 10 ā€“ 17, 2010.

Kudaba played university football with Simon Fraser University before embarking on an eightyear
CFL career (1976-83) which included stints with the BC Lions, Hamilton Tiger-cats,
Montreal Concordes and Calgary Stampeders.
His coaching career includes time spent as a guest coach in the CFL with the BC Lions and
Saskatchewan Roughriders, at the University and Junior levels, and most recently at the B.C.
High School level with the Terry Fox Ravens where he guided the schoolā€™s AAA Sr. Varsity
team to provincial championships in 2006 and 2008.

Q: In your playing or your coaching career, did you ever have an opportunity to
participate in a national or international tournament?

A: No, this will be my first time. I know that Team B.C. has been dormant almost ten years.
Prior to that, though, I was coaching at a middle school and I had younger children and all
that so I didnā€™t have the time to apply in those days.
My plan was to apply once my kids were a certain age and when that happened they had
suspended their participation in the program.
Q: It sounds like this is something youā€™ve wanted to do for a long time. How does it
feel to finally get that chance now?

A: Iā€™m really looking forward to working with the coaching staff that we have selected and
working with the kids at the U-18 age group and, I guess, testing the waters that we have
across Canada.
There are some unique challenges that B.C. has because of our playing American rules at the
high school level. Weā€™re going to have to blend that in with the Canadian leagues and test
ourselves with some of the other provinces.
Itā€™s always nice to play for a championship. Provincially is one thing, but now weā€™re going to
have to try for a national championship so Iā€™m looking forward to it.
Q: What do you think will be the biggest difference between coaching B.C. high
school football and coaching in this tournament?

A: The biggest adjustment, I think, from the defensive perspective is the motion; making sure
you can adjust and adapt. And then from the offensive perspective, itā€™s having that extra
defensive secondary in there ā€“ whether you use him as a linebacker, whether you use him as
a defensive halfback or move around as a rover.
Q: What do you consider as your greatest football achievement, as a player or as a
coach?

A: I think as a personal accomplishment I always look at my eight years in the CFL and being
able to be a starting playerā€¦and also going to two conference finals in the West and one in the
East. Unfortunately I never was lucky enough to make the Grey Cup. We were very close on
those two or three occasions. But my personal accomplishment was making the CFL and being
able to call myself a professional football player and getting a head start on life financially as
well.
From a coaching point-of-view, I think our championship teams in 2006 and 2008 at Terry Fox
[Secondary School in Port Coquitlam, B.C.] were so far the icing on the cake.
Q: Where would winning a national championship with Team B.C. rank up there as
far as your greatest football achievements?

A: It would be right up there amongst the three things that I mentioned. But it is a
tournament-type format so itā€™s not like youā€™re with this group of players and this group of
coaches for an entire season. Weā€™re going to try to generate that interest and that
commitment to one another in the short time that weā€™re going to be together and I think if we
win it, I think weā€™ll be very proud.
Will it be the biggest thing in the world? Gee I donā€™t know. I havenā€™t experienced it yet but
maybe. Maybe itā€™ll be, for me, something that I look back and say, ā€˜This is bigger than winning
the high school championship or this is bigger doing what I did when I was a player in the
CFL.ā€™ I donā€™t know and thatā€™s a good question.
It would certainly be exciting and interesting to win and call yourself national champions. I can
say that for sure.
Q: Do you feel the provincial program is a bit of an underdog heading into this
tournament because of the lack of national tournament experience in recent years?

[B.C. last competed at the Football Canada Cup in 2000]
A: I think so. There are a lot of reasons why weā€™re not probably one of the favourite teams but
historically, B.C. football players have very been extremely well-trained by the coaches at all
the levels ā€“ both community and high school.
[B.C. has] done well in the university games in terms of not only playing for UBC and Simon
Fraser, but also many of our players have gone either south of the border or gone to other
universities across Canada and you see them play later on in the CFL and, for some, even
have an opportunity to play in the NFL.
Many of our players are well-trained and well-coached to get a shot at that. Athletically, weā€™re
going to have as much as anybody has. Our province is a good football province and
historically has always been able to be one of the finalists as tournaments such as this one.
Q: Obviously you guys are going there to win but, other than that, what would
constitute a successful tournament in your opinion?

A: I think thatā€™s it. The first purpose, of course, is to win a championship and bring it back to
British Columbia and to send a message to the rest of Canada.
I think we have a reputation as being a renegade province because we play U.S. rules. I get a
lot of that when I travel across the country for other events or other things that Iā€™m doing.
When the conversation turns to football, people often ask me, ā€˜Why do you guys play high
school U.S. rules?ā€™ There is a certain logic as to why we [play U.S. rules], but they all kind of
feel we should be part of the Canadian high school and college-type program.
There has always been a little bit of individuality that Simon Fraser I guess started in the late
60ā€™s and now has come back to. We need to give an option to people who want to try playing
the other game and also play south of the border. I think we kind of combine both. I think if
we can show that we can play and adapt to the Canadian game way across on the other side
from sea-to-sea across to Nova Scotia I think weā€™ll be able to hold our heads high.
From a coaching point-of-view, [our number one goal] is to win. Number two would be to
represent and give ourselves the best effort we possibly can to represent the province as well
as we can.

COMMENTS FROM TEAM BC GENERAL MANAGER LARRY REDA

VANCOUVER, B.C. ā€“ Comments from General Manager Larry Reda of Team BC, the provincial
under-18 team that will represent British Columbia at the 2010 Football Canada Cup to be
held at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia from July 10 ā€“ 17, 2010.
Reda has had over 60 years of amateur football experience as a player, coach and an
administrator and has coached at every level of amateur football including Community, Minor,
Juvenile, High School and BC Junior Football. Presently, he is the Chairman of the BC High
School Championships Subway Bowl.
On BC returning to the Football Canada Cup for the first time since 2000ā€¦
Reflecting back on past involvement of Football BC in the Canada Cup, we were very
successful in the early years. For four or five years I think we competed and then because of
circumstances that were beyond our control, we decided not to be involved in the Canada Cup.
This year, when the under-19 team was not going to fly and we had the opportunity to look at
the under-17 and under-18 combination. We thought it was very important for us to get back
and involved.
On the Team BC coaching staffā€¦
When we looked at putting a coaching staff together and having coaches apply, there was a
great amount of interest. We were able to put together a coaching staff that has a tremendous
amount of experience both at the Canadian and, obviously, the American game. Although we
are participating in the Canadian game, we certainly are not going to be handicapped.
A great many of our players from British Columbia have played and experienced both the
Canadian and the American game as they move up the ladder of football from the minor level
right through to University. Either game, itā€™s the game of football and the coaching staff that
we put together was comprised basically of head coaches who have tremendous background in
the game of football – both Canadian and American.
(editorā€™s note: BC High School Football plays American rules whereas the Football Canada Cup
will be contested under Canadian rules)
On Team BC being an underdog in the tournamentā€¦
I think some of the teams and coaches that weā€™ll compete against have participated in Canada
Cups before and certainly weā€™re an underdog. Weā€™re an unknown quality of team. Weā€™re faced
with the same problem of not knowing the type of competition weā€™ll have to compete against.
But football is football and athletes are athletes and they all have to fit in a certain age bracket
and I think that weā€™ll be competitive. But we are definitely the underdogs just from our
province not competing in the past.
On playing Ontario East in the tournament opening game (Ontario East won the
2009 Football Canada Cup in the under-17 category)ā€¦

I think the best football athletes, when you look at athletes that go on to University, come out
of British Columbia and they come out of Quebec, not Ontario. Ontarioā€™s never been that
strong a province for football.
Certainly Ontario will be very competitive. But if the team is divided up like it was last year,
thereā€™s only going to be a number of players that will be experienced. Itā€™s just something that
weā€™ll have to wait and see and hopefully overcome.
On what it would mean to win a national titleā€¦
Certainly winning at a national level will be a highlight of my football career and a highlight for
football in British Columbia. We have always been very, very competitive and I think our
athletes will step up and prove that.
On what advice he would give the players on Team BCā€¦
I think to enjoy the opportunity to compete at a national level is something they should hang
onto. Iā€™ve said this couple of times to the group when Iā€™ve had the opportunity to address
them is that through their football careers, this is kind of a stepping stone. The next one is
onto University and maybe, eventually down the road, a professional opportunity.
This is the start of a special level for a lot of young men and they should embrace it and enjoy
the experience.

COMMENTS FROM TEAM BC DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR DINO GEREMIA
VANCOUVER, B.C. ā€“ Comments from Defensive Coordinator Dino Geremia of Team BC, the
provincial under-18 team that will represent British Columbia at the 2010 Football Canada Cup
to be held at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia from July 10 ā€“ 17, 2010.
Geremia brings a wealth of knowledge about the Canadian game to Team BC after coaching at
the CIS level for the past eight seasons with the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds.
Geremiaā€™s most recent coaching role was as the defensive coordinator with the Thunderbirds
from 2006 to 2009.
Geremia also coached at Simon Fraser University prior to his time at UBC and helped the Clan
transition from playing Americans rules in the NAIA to Canadian rules in the CIS when the
team made the jump in 2002. He was the special teams coordinator and defensive line coach
for the Clan in 2003 when they won the Canada West.
On what the coaching staff was looking for when putting Team BCā€™s defence togetherā€¦
The biggest thing we were looking for when we all got together was speed. We knew with the
bigger field that speed was going to be the essence. We really tried to look for that in their
play during the training camp and in the exhibition game. When it came down to it, we really
wanted to have a fast defence and athletic defence.
On what the team has done to prepare the players for Canadian rulesā€¦
Obviously having the training camp and having the (exhibition game against the Big Kahuna
Rams in mid-June) on the Canadian field really helped our players to adjust angles on pursuit.
Really knowing how wide that field size is and getting used to that space is something that
takes a little bit of practice and game experience to get used it.
(editorā€™s note: BC High School Football plays American rules whereas the Football Canada Cup
will be contested under Canadian rules)
On preparing the defence to face Ontario East in the tournament opener (Ontario
East won the 2009 Football Canada Cup at the under-17 category)ā€¦

When you look at what you want to build your defence around – I saw Ontario East play last
year, theyā€™re very athletic, theyā€™re fast – the mindset going in was to beat the best. So having
seen the best last year that was kind of what we were trying to structure (the defence)
around. Having said that, itā€™s easy to pick the players and itā€™s easy to say thatā€™s what weā€™re
aiming for. It is going to be a tough task to go in the first game and play defending
champions.
On who the players to watch on Team BCā€™s defence will beā€¦
I think that weā€™re really happy and really pleased with a couple of the linebackers that have
stepped up. Casey Chin many will know from New West High School. Buddy Hutchison, in
making the move from being the running back in High School to playing some linebacker at
Senior Bowl and with Team BC, has really done some nice things.
On the defensive line, I really think that our defensive ends have done a good job ā€“ Johnthia
Fernandez from Holy Cross and Jared Soll from Terry Fox. In the secondary, Cameron Canales
is a guy thatā€™s as athletic as anybody and really could play any position but we have him at
the corner. Heā€™s our cover guy so weā€™re going to look to have him against usually their best
receiver or their top player in the pass game.
On the chemistry developing between the Team BC players on defenceā€¦
I think we were pleasantly surprised with the ability for them to come together in our
exhibition game and really have a strong performance. We made mistakes and that was to be
expected but I think we really jelled as a defence through that. The communication increased,
the familiarity with the game increased, and as that came through they really started to jell as
a unit.
I think the coaches being on the same page have really helped that. All of us working together
and not having a complicated package but something simple that everybody understands and
feels comfortable going into a game with I think will be the biggest factor in making sure they
play fast.
On how his recent experience as a coach at UBC will be beneficialā€¦
I think itā€™s helped just because of my most recent knowledge of the Canadian game. I think
the players have been great at listening and the biggest thing is they want to know, they want
to do well, and they want to win. If we can provide them with the information, then theyā€™re
going to listen. Theyā€™re going to do everything they can do make sure they carry out their
assignments.

COMMENTS FROM TEAM BC OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR DENIS KELLY
VANCOUVER, B.C. ā€“ Comments from Offensive Coordinator Denis Kelly of Team BC, the
provincial under-18 team that will represent British Columbia at the 2010 Football Canada Cup
to be held at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia from July 10 ā€“ 17, 2010.
This yearā€™s tournament marks the seventh time that Kelly has been involved with Team BC
and the Football Canada Cup. Kelly was a part of Team BCā€™s coaching staff in 1993, 1995 and
1997-2000 and was head coach of the squad that won the tournament in 1999 at BC Place
Stadium.
Kelly is currently the head coach of the WJ Mouat Hawks varsity program ā€“ a position he has
held since 1987 ā€“ and has won three provincial championships.
On how the coaching staff approached selecting the players on offenceā€¦
We just wanted to be as versatile as possible. We knew that we had some tremendous running
backs in Terrell Davis and Stephen Spagnuolo. We wanted to make sure we could also pass
the ball because itā€™s Canadian football with three downs. We managed to get some very good
receivers and quarterbacks. We think we have both the running and the throwing game in
there and the offensive line seems to come around pretty well. I think weā€™ve got a pretty high
quality offence altogether.
Weā€™re looking for the highest skill level we could possibly get and I think the ones that we
picked work out well for us.
On how the team has prepared to play under Canadian rulesā€¦
We just tried to point out the rules. The kicking game rules, the five-yards on the punt – thatā€™s
the main one. And then basically with the receivers you can just let them go and do whatever
they want in terms of motion because thereā€™s unlimited motion. We did give them the freedom
to move around and get themselves in the right spot and also hit the line of scrimmage going
full speed type of thing.
Main thing is the rule changes and just running the practices so that you concentrate on those
rule changes every day so they get acclimatized to it. Thereā€™s still going to be a little bit of
confusion. I think they allow some downfield blocking below the waist that we donā€™t in High
School.
(editorā€™s note: BC High School Football plays American rules whereas the Football Canada Cup
will be contested under Canadian rules)
On the decision to name four quarterbacks to the teamā€¦
The thing is it sets up some good possibilities for different types of option plays that we can
put in so I think weā€™re in good shape because a lot of these quarterbacks can play in different
positions as well.
Cam [Bedore] had a very good year for us last year and Braden [Churly] was the back-up.
They can pretty well do everything. Theyā€™re good runners, theyā€™re good throwers, and theyā€™ve
got a good knowledge of the offence. Theyā€™re both good leaders too. I think theyā€™re going to
have a good tournament.
The other fellow from Abbotsford Collegiate, Carson Williams, heā€™s very smart. Heā€™s got a good
arm. Heā€™s got a good feel for the offence, seems to throw the ball on time very well.
By far the best pure athlete is [Tyler] Fong and heā€™s going to be able to do a lot of stuff for us
in different positions at both at quarterback and running back and some receiver. I think weā€™ve
got some high skill level there.
On having six players from his High School team, the WJ Mouat Hawks, make Team BCā€¦
I was quite happy. The thing is all six guys are going to get a good experience out of it. I think
thatā€™s the main thing. Theyā€™ll get some extra work on their football skills but the other thing
too is they get another football experience to add to their repertoire.
Itā€™s a good opportunity to go for a championship especially with national recognition on the
line. You add that to their own team work here at Mouat and our playoff system going for a
provincial championship I think it makes for a very good opportunity for the kids to experience
football at the highest level. Weā€™re happy that six of our boys will get to experience that this
summer.
On RB Stephen Spagnuoloā€¦
Heā€™s a big-time player. Heā€™ll step it up. When we played the (exhibition) game against Surrey,
we threw the ball but weā€™re going to be relying on him and [RB Terrell] Davis to carry the
load. Heā€™s just got great balance and heā€™s a tremendous athlete so weā€™re definitely going to
use him.
The other thing about him is heā€™s got very good hands. You can throw the ball to him out of
the backfield. Heā€™ll be able to run some very good pass routes for us as well. But the main
thing is weā€™re just going to get the ball in his hands and do our best to block for him and let
him show his ability.
On how his experience this year with Team BC differs from his previous experiences
with Team BC in the late 90ā€™sā€¦

I think itā€™s going to be a tremendous experience. We were in Halifax in ā€™97 and we didnā€™t have
the talent that we have on this team. We had a few stars like [current CFL player] Paris
Jackson and a couple of guys of that nature but there was not the overall quality that we have
this year.
[Back in 1997] we picked the team mainly from Senior Bowl and it was Grade 12ā€™s and some
of the Grade 12ā€™s didnā€™t go and we had a lot of trouble before getting kids to commit to it. Now
I think with the mainly Grade 11ā€™s, they look at it as a means of establishing their profile
among the college coaches that will be there and as a great opportunity to get their senior
year started on the right foot. I think the concept now is much more conducive to having your
best athletes there and I think our team that weā€™re going to field here will be a lot better than
the one we fielded in ā€™97 although I think we still came second or third. It should be a real
good experience.
On comparing this yearā€™s team to the 1999 Team BC that won the tournament played
at BC Place Stadiumā€¦

That was a real good team. Of course, youā€™ve got a tremendous advantage in these
tournaments when youā€™re the home team. You basically just know your way around. I think as
the head coach at that time, I think we had an excellent staff.
This year, itā€™s the same thing. Iā€™ve got [Team BC head coach] Tom Kudaba whoā€™s an excellent
coach. Weā€™ve got great position coaches all over the place. Itā€™s just nice to be working with
this caliber of organization and with the caliber of athletes that we have. Iā€™m looking forward
to it as not only to compete for the national championship but also just a good opportunity to
spend time with these other coaches and just to know them a little better and be a good start
to our own season coming up starting in August.

COMMENTS FROM TEAM BC RB STEPHEN SPAGNUOLO
VANCOUVER, B.C. ā€“ Comments from Running Back Stephen Spagnuolo of Team BC, the
provincial under-18 team that will represent British Columbia at the 2010 Football Canada Cup
to be held at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia from July 10 ā€“ 17, 2010.
Spagnuolo led BC High Schoolā€™s AAA Varsity Division with 1084 rushing yards during the 2009
regular season and also led the league with 20 rushing touchdowns. He was named the Most
Valuable Offensive Player of BC High Schoolā€™s AAA Varsity Division in 2009. Spagnuolo, along
with DL Roberto Perizzolo and WR Anthony Belmonte, is one of three Notre Dame Jugglers
named to Team BC.
On why he wanted to be a part of Team BCā€¦
I thought it was going to be a great experience for me to play some Canadian football and
play with some elite players in the league.
On being arguably the most high-profile player on the teamā€¦
Iā€™m used to pressure. I had to deal with it a lot last year. I know that Iā€™m going to have to
make some big plays in this tournament and Iā€™m going to have to really work hard to help win
games this tournament because hopefully the team is going to be counting on me to provide a
lot of scoring. But Iā€™m used to the pressure so it shouldnā€™t be too bad.
I like when people are looking at me and all that kind of stuff. When the pressureā€™s on me, I
feel that I play a lot better.
On what he thinks the difference between playoffs in High School football versus
playing in a tournament format will beā€¦

My team hasnā€™t had a lot of good luck in the playoffs. I think itā€™s going to be tough. Weā€™re
playing a lot of solid teams. Usually in the playoffs, itā€™s always the strongest teams that we
have to play and now weā€™re playing All-Stars from different provinces. Itā€™s going to be like a
playoff game.
On facing Ontario East in the tournament opening game (Ontario East won the 2009
Football Canada Cup in the under-17 category)ā€¦

We know we have to play them eventually, right? Either itā€™s in the Finals or the first game.
We have something to prove. We havenā€™t been to the Canada Cup for a while so not a lot of
teams know about us. I think weā€™re going to surprise a lot of people and we have the players
to do it I think. Itā€™s going to be a hard challenge but I think weā€™re up for it.
On playing Canadian rules football as opposed to American rulesā€¦
For me I donā€™t think itā€™s that much of a difference. I think, for sure, the Canadian game
benefits me with the wide field. Iā€™ve got a lot of speed and I think I can take advantage of
that. Iā€™ve never played Canadian football before. It takes a little bit of adjusting to but I think
that itā€™ll benefit me a lot.
We actually made a lot of mistakes on special teams and all that kind of stuff, rules that we
didnā€™t know of. It took a while to get used to. Everybody has to learn some new stuff on the
position. Some of the players played Community football so they could teach us some of the
stuff but a lot of us play High School Football play American (rules) so it takes a while to get
used to but hopefully weā€™re ready for it.
(editorā€™s note: BC High School Football plays American rules whereas the Football Canada Cup
will be contested under Canadian rules)
On offensive coordinator Denis Kellyā€¦
Heā€™s a great offensive mind. Itā€™s crazy. Iā€™m not used to all those plays and all that. I only had
to focus on a couple at Notre Dame, a lot of running the ball. My dad used to coach with Denis
so he told me all about him. His mind is just unbelievable.
The systems heā€™s made are probably going to help us a lot when it comes to Canadian football.
On DL Roberto Perizzoloā€¦
Heā€™s a big body. Heā€™s our left tackle at Notre Dame. Heā€™s going to be playing (defensive) tackle
for Team BC. Itā€™s hard to make the kid move. Heā€™s strong. Heā€™s definitely quick for his size.
Heā€™s probably about 315 to 320 lbs. Heā€™s going to be really good in the run game and short
distance kind of stuff.
On WR Anthony Belmonteā€¦
Heā€™s tall. He has a lot of speed, good hands. He didnā€™t get the ball a lot last year because he
was younger and we didnā€™t throw the ball a lot at him. Heā€™s a really fast kid and hopefully heā€™s
going make some big plays because heā€™s capable of it.
On what it would mean for him personally to lead Team BC to a gold medalā€¦
That would mean so much because Iā€™ve never been a champion in football. I think we have a
great opportunity to do it this year.

COMMENTS FROM TEAM BC QB CAM BEDORE
VANCOUVER, B.C. ā€“ Comments from Quarterback Cam Bedore of Team BC, the provincial
under-18 team that will represent British Columbia at the 2010 Football Canada Cup to be
held at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia from July 10 ā€“ 17, 2010.
Bedore was the number one quarterback for the WJ Mouat Hawks in 2009 appearing in five
regular season games throwing for 463 yards and four touchdowns. He also appeared in four
playoff games in 2009 throwing for 537 yards and five touchdowns leading the Hawks to the
championship final against the Centennial Centaurs.
Bedore is one of six WJ Mouat Hawks to make Team BC. Joining Bedore from the Hawks are
QB Braden Churly, DB Deion Bain, WR Desmond Bassi, WR John Watson and K Nick Naylor.
On his experience at the tryout camp for Team BCā€¦
It was great getting to know a lot of those guys from all over the teams that you donā€™t really
get to play with some of those guys from the Island. It was very cool just getting there,
getting to stay at SFU, and getting to work with all those guys.
The camp was relatively easy. It wasnā€™t too difficult. It wasnā€™t a killer camp but it wasnā€™t one of
those camps where it tends to get boring. It was good.
On the coaching staffā€™s decision to name four quarterbacks to Team BCā€¦
It didnā€™t really surprise me. You need to prepare in case something happens. We havenā€™t really
been told whatā€™s going on with it.
I think the coaches know what theyā€™re talking about. They should be trusted when they make
those kinds of decisions. Iā€™m sure theyā€™ll make the right decisions in the end.
On having his head coach from the WJ Mouat Hawks, Denis Kelly, be a part of Team
BCā€™s coaching staffā€¦

Itā€™s just awesome. Me and Coach Kelly are really good friends but heā€™s also a coach that just
knows what heā€™s doing. He knows things that you would not think about normally. He knows
so many different tricks to each play.
On if having several Hawks teammates on Team BC puts him in a comfort zoneā€¦
Definitely. A lot of us have been playing together for quite a while so we tend to know how
each other plays. It makes it a lot easier than trying to guess with some of the other guys that
we havenā€™t played with for as long. It definitely makes it a lot easier when theyā€™ve been on
your team for so long.
