As a result of being part of the Oakdale Football Program, I have learned about teamwork and toughness.  One memory I have from summer practices is playing with the other linemen and Coach Quaccia.  A coach that has had an impact on my life is Coach Merzon.  My eating habits have improved a lot, I don’t have high cholesterol any more, and I have lost 30 pounds because of one talk I had with Coach.
