Mike Cairns is the older brother of Joe Cairns, Hamilton '25, who threw for 3 TD's in the Cont's win at Colby. The Cairns family accounted for all 4 Hamilton TD's on Saturday.That's some good recruiting of "local" talent. The Hamilton players most certainly had ample time to work on their Senior Theses on that ride back to Clinton, but I'm not sure that many exercised that option. Far be it for me to temper anyone's enthusiasm, but it may be the time to pump the brakes on an immediate pigskin renaissance in Waterville. We all know what a painstakingly incremental process a rebuild can be. I do hope that early season results mean that the league is getting more competitive. Though I have rooting interests, I just really want to be entertained.
