For the third time in his career, Kassim Osgood has been named to the AFC Pro Bowl roster as a special teams ace. Kassim joins 619 Sports to talk about how the honor has changed this year, his hopes of playing wide receiver on Sunday vs. the Redskins, and his latest Twitter escapades:
After completing a major upset last weekend against Valhalla, the Helix Highlanders continued their late season heroics on Friday night, defeating Scripps Ranch 17-6.
The Highlanders were led by Brandon Lewis, a sophomore playing in his third career varsity game, in the win. Lewis passed 8/18 for just 97 yards and a touchdown but managed to get key first downs with his legs late in the game.

The drive came after a failed Scripps Ranch 51 yard field goal attempt by star kicker Nick Sloan. Once Hancock crossed the goal line with 3:49 to go in the first quarter, the crowd was quieted and would never fully get back into the game.

ShareDamn right, I said it. And I can say it because I saw it.
