Two New Names

Finally, a little more news on the recruiting front with two new additions.

Thanks to Xwitter we can add running back Myles Craddock and wide receiver Andrew Smart to the incoming class:

Smart is a 6-foot-3, 185 pounder from Arapahoe High School and Centennial, Colo. An All-Colorado selection, he caught 67 passes for 1,098 yards and 14 touchdowns last fall. He also was a special teams unicorn, serving both as his team's punter and punt returner.

Craddock is a 5-foot-11, 200-pound back from Cranston, R.I., who played last fall at Phillips Exeter. As a senior at Moses Brown School in 2023 he was named Rhode Island's Gatorade Player of the Year after running for 1,504 yards and 21 touchdowns. He averaged 10.1 yards per carry.


At PE in 2024 he was named to the Northeast Football Conference first team and All-NEPSAC honorable mention.

EXTRA POINT

With sunset almost 25 minutes later than it was a month ago I took a look at the clock and headed out on my hike yesterday a good deal later than usual. My warm beanie has a built-in head lamp that I've used before on the trail so I had no concerns about it getting dark before I finished my three miles up and over the mountain.


About a half mile from finishing I decided the time had come to turn on the headlamp. Oops. Nothing. I've had the hat for several years and I figured the battery had finally run down. Fortunately, it wasn't completely dark yet, I know the trail inside and out – even snow-covered – and a near-full moon was casting some light on the snow, so I made it to the end of the trail with no problem.


Back home I showed Mrs. BGA the hat wouldn't work and puzzled over how to replace the batteries. She took the hat, in no time adjusted a clamp on the light that had come loose, and like that, it came on bright as day. What would I do without her?
