2009 <strong>Football</strong> Preview<br />
16 Thursday, September 3, 2009 <strong>The</strong> <strong>Hutchinson</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />
CAMPUS COLTS<br />
Coach: Mike Schartz (first year, 7-22 fourth overall)<br />
League: AVCTL II<br />
2008 record: 2-7<br />
Top returners: Ryan Bland (OL, 6-3, 240, sr.); Jake<br />
Bjostad (OL, 6-0, 235, sr.); Jack Charles (WR, 6-2, 190, sr.);<br />
Aaron McChesney (LB, 5-11, 195, sr.); Billy Falley (6-2, 210,<br />
sr.);<br />
Others to watch: Steve Harrison (DL, 6-1, 220, sr.); John<br />
Burba (LB, 5-11, 185, sr.); Davron Cochran (FS, 6-1, 185,<br />
jr.); Zach Chrisman (QB, 5-11, 165, jr.); Garrett Cantrel<br />
(RB, 5-11, 185, jr.)<br />
2009 outlook: Schartz brings a fresh outlook to a<br />
Campus program that hasn’t had a winning season since<br />
2006 and hasn’t been to the playoffs since ’05. <strong>The</strong> Colts<br />
should have plenty of numbers as Schartz said 100 players<br />
went out for football.<br />
DERBY PANTHERS<br />
Coach: Brandon Clark (fourth year, 16-15)<br />
League: AVCTL I<br />
2008 record: 10-2<br />
Top returners: Devin Hedgepeth (DB/WR, 6-0, 190, sr.);<br />
Travis Anderson (OL, 6-4, 310, sr.); Ian Whittit (LB, 5-9, 190,<br />
sr.); Cole Carpenter (DE, 6-0, 220, sr.); Tyson Liston (LB,<br />
6-0, 200, sr.);<br />
Others to watch: Meshach Kennedy (FS, sr.); Tyler<br />
Harrison (QB, 6-4, 200, jr.); Jameson Moore (RB, 5-10, 220,<br />
jr.); Bryce Fisher (DT, 6-3, 240, jr.)<br />
2009 outlook: Derby, coming off a monumental 10-2 sea-<br />
ARKANSAS CITY BULLDOGS<br />
Coach: Darrin Wegner (fourth year, 8-19)<br />
League: AVCTL II<br />
2008 record: 3-6 (0-3 district)<br />
Top returners: Devin Metzinger (OL/DT, 6-0, 230, sr.);<br />
Tayler Rack (RB, 6-3, 210, sr.); Codi Larmer (OL/DT, 6-3,<br />
290, sr.); Devin Avery (QB/DB, 5-10, 165, sr.)<br />
Others to watch: Trevor Harris (WR/DB, 5-11, 165, jr.);<br />
Keegan Murphy (WR/DB, 5-8, 175, so.); Justin Spencer<br />
(RB/LB, 6-1, 180, so.)<br />
2009 outlook: Having played several younger players<br />
last year, the Bulldogs look to have a more experienced<br />
team this fall as they return seven starters on each side<br />
of the ball. <strong>The</strong> Bulldogs will be inexperienced at quarterback<br />
and running back, but they have experience returning<br />
at every other position. Overall, Wegner feels he has<br />
a more experienced team.<br />
GREAT BEND PANTHERS<br />
Coach: Bo Black (ninth year, 61-24)<br />
League: Western Athletic Conference<br />
2008 record: 5-4<br />
Top returners: Matt Dobratz (RB, sr.); Alan Holt<br />
(FS/WR, sr.); Shane Towzly (DL/OL); Jacob Kuhlman<br />
(OL); Angel Gutierrez (DB/K, 5-8, 160, sr.)<br />
Others to watch: Greg Hilderbrand (QB, 6-1, 180, jr.);<br />
Alex Reed (DB/WR, 6-2, 170, jr.); Tyler Uselton (DT/OL, 6-<br />
3, 305, so.); O’Neal Lespierre (DL, 6-0, 210, sr.); Jacob<br />
Kuhlman (OL, 6-3, 250, sr.);<br />
2009 outlook: <strong>The</strong> Panthers will have good team speed<br />
and return Dobratz after he had major knee surgery last<br />
season. Black said he’s banking on a big senior class to<br />
lead the Panthers through a tough district. While Great<br />
Bend has experience on the defensive line, they don’t have<br />
much at linebacker. Reed will provide speed on both sides<br />
of the ball after he won the 400- and 200-meter state championships<br />
last spring.<br />
HAYS INDIANS<br />
Coach: Ryan Cornelsen (first season, 55-13 overall)<br />
League: Western Athletic Conference<br />
2008 record: 4-5<br />
Top returners: Bryant Bombardier (QB, 6-1, 175, sr.);<br />
Travis Pfannenstiel (LB, 5-11, 185, sr.); Cody Huff (OL, 6-<br />
0, 260, sr.); Ryan Rounkles (TE, 6-3, 225, sr.); Jimmy Haws<br />
(OL, 5-10, 225, sr.); Brad Pruter (WR/QB, 5-11, 150, sr.)<br />
Others to watch: Logan Nelson (OL, 5-11, 215, sr.); Jay<br />
Wickham (LB, 5-10, 175, sr.); Casey Sedbrook (LB/RB,<br />
jr.); Tanner Willhoft (OL, 5-10, 230, sr.); Brad Desbian<br />
(RB, so.)<br />
2009 outlook: Cornelsen looks to use the tools that helped<br />
LaCrosse be one of the top teams in Class 2-1A in his six<br />
seasons. Cornelsen knows that Hays has plenty of work to<br />
do as they change the mind frame and work to install a<br />
winning mentality. Hays returns five starters on each side<br />
of the ball. <strong>The</strong> Indians also need to learn Cornelsen’s offset<br />
I-formations and shotgun formations on offense.<br />
Defensively, Hays will run the 4-3. To switch things up,<br />
Cornelsen changed the Indians’ uniforms.<br />
son that included a trip to the state semifinals and a stunning<br />
upset over five-time champion <strong>Hutchinson</strong>, will rely<br />
on its defense early in season thanks to a young offense.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Panthers have six starters back on defense, but just<br />
one on offense. Clark, who’s had steady improves in each<br />
of his three years at the helm, said his players are working<br />
hard and needs the players on offense to mature quickly in<br />
order to take pressure off the defense.<br />
DODGE CITY RED DEMONS<br />
Coach: Justin Burke (fifth year 18-19, 53-31 overall)<br />
League: Western Athletic Conference<br />
2008 record: 4-6 (2-1 district)<br />
Top returners: Landon Head (WR, 6-3, 195, sr.); Laton<br />
Dowling (LB/TE, 6-4, 230, sr.); Ty Thomas (QB, 5-10, 160,<br />
sr.); Bruce Campbell (DE, 6-2, 235, so.); Zach Harvey (DB,<br />
6-2, 180, sr.)<br />
Others to watch: Ernest Fernandez (DE, 6-0, 225, sr.);<br />
Steven Mills (RB, 5-8, 180); Mason Pooler (DL/OL, 5-9, 285,<br />
sr.); Trevor Otterstein (DB, 6-0, 190, sr.); Alec Schmitt<br />
(LB, 6-2, 185, jr.); Jesse Trent (OL, 6-4, 245, jr.); Colton<br />
Wilks (OL, 5-11, 235, sr.)<br />
2009 outlook: After making the playoffs for the first<br />
time since 1994, the Red Demons look posed to make a<br />
return trip as they return 13 starters. Offensively,<br />
Thomas returns after throwing for 2,214 yards while Head<br />
had 1,050 yards receiving, but Burke said the Red<br />
Demons need to improve on the offensive line.<br />
Defensively, Dowling returns at linebacker (73 tackles)<br />
HUTCHINSON SALTHAWKS<br />
Coach: Randy Dreiling (13th year, 111-27, 136-66 overall)<br />
League: AVCTL I<br />
2008 record: 11-2<br />
Top returners: Ross Lovett (OL, 6-4, 260, sr.); Reed<br />
Woodworth (OL, 5-10, 225, sr.); Evan Wilder (OL, 6-2, 265,<br />
sr.); Justin Pitzer (OL, 6-1, 185, sr.); Josh Smith (FB, 5-10,<br />
215, sr.); Deveon Dinwiddie (RB, 5-8, 171, sr.); Geneo<br />
Grissom (DL, 6-4, 225, sr.); Justin Goetz (DL, 6-1, 208, sr.);<br />
Tyler Fee (LB, 5-11, 200, sr.); Ben Heeney (S, 6-0, 195, jr.)<br />
Others to watch: Cooper Bell (QB, 5-8, 140, sr.); Matt<br />
Galliart (LB/RB, 5-11, 176, jr.); Nate Thomas (LB/K, 5-10,<br />
180, sr.); Joel Schneider (DB/WR, 6-1, 170, sr.); Devin<br />
Gagnebin (DL/TE, 6-1, 220, sr.); Austin Lee (OL, 6-0, 249,<br />
jr.); Gannon Veh (OL, 5-10, 244, sr.); Deji Ferraira<br />
(DL/OL, 6-1, 241, sr.); Sean Goodwin (DL, TE, 6-4, 205, jr.);<br />
Dametrick Morris (DL/FB, 5-9, 218, jr.); DeShawn<br />
Dinwiddie (LB/FB, 6-2, 195, jr.); Taylor Clifford (DB/RB,<br />
5-11, 173, jr.)<br />
2009 outlook: <strong>Hutchinson</strong> returns seven starters on<br />
defense and six on offense as the Salthawks look to win<br />
their sixth consecutive state championship. Dreiling said<br />
one of the Salthawks’ strengths will be depth along the<br />
offensive and defensive lines. Running behind the offensive<br />
line with will Dinwiddie and Smith, who was <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>News</strong>’ offensive player of the year. Although the<br />
Salthawks graduated Forrest Stucky and Nate Dreiling,<br />
who shared the honor as <strong>The</strong> <strong>News</strong>’ co-defensive players<br />
of the year, <strong>Hutchinson</strong> returns Goetz and Grissom, a<br />
University of Kansas commitment.<br />
LIBERAL REDSKINS<br />
Coach: Wade Standley (first year)<br />
League: Western Athletic Conference<br />
2008 record: 5-5<br />
Top returners: Dustin Dailing (OL); Kevin Archer<br />
(OL); Carlos Rodriguez (DL, sr.); Tyson Deaton (WR, jr.);<br />
Lavondrick Martin (WR, 5-9, 170, sr.); Gilberto Areono<br />
(FS, sr.)<br />
Others to watch: Slader McVey (QB, 5-11, 170, jr.);<br />
Michael Cummins (RB, 6-2, 205, sr.); Justin McPhail (LB,<br />
so.); Blake Abbit (LB, sr.); Kyle Pott (LB)<br />
2009 outlook: Standley looks to take the Liberal program<br />
back to the success it experienced under Gary<br />
Cornelsen, who left in 2001. Standley brings 10 years of<br />
experience as a defensive coordinator at Tulsa Union. <strong>The</strong><br />
Redskins will run the spread offense, with McVey at quarterback<br />
and Cummins at running back. <strong>The</strong> Redskins’<br />
defense will be a 3-3 multi-stack formation.<br />
MCPHERSON BULLPUPS<br />
Coach: Tom Young (fourth year, 25-8, 296-94 overall)<br />
League: AVCTL II<br />
2008 record: 10-2 (2-1)<br />
Top returners: Joel Piper (QB, 6-5, 205 sr.); Dylan<br />
Barrow (LB/RB, 6-0, 180, sr.); Treg Fawl (WR, 6-1, 172,<br />
sr.); Tyler Davis (S, 5-8, 160, sr.); Nick Gawanda (WR, 6-<br />
0, 162, jr); Ben Clary (DB, 5-11, 160, sr.)<br />
CLASS 6A CAPSULES<br />
CLASS 5A CAPSULES<br />
and Harvey (71 tackles, 2 INT) is back at safety. <strong>The</strong><br />
front seven, Burke said, should be the strength of the<br />
defense. Burke said he’s about Dodge’s lack of depth.<br />
GARDEN CITY BUFFALOES<br />
Coach: Mike Smith (eighth year, 32-35, 96-57 overall)<br />
League: Western Athletic Conference<br />
2008 record: 4-4<br />
Top returners: Ayden Kinney (LB/FB, 6-0, 205, sr.);<br />
Mitch Bean (DL/OL, 5-11, 210, sr.); Ryan Peterson (OL, 5-<br />
11, 190, sr.); Jace Larsen (OL, 5-9, 205, sr.); Tanner Parr<br />
(WR, 6-3, 180, sr.); Keith Currann (TE, 6-3, 200, jr.); Cody<br />
Bernbeck (QB, 6-0, 175, jr.);<br />
Others to watch: Jacob Vasquez (DB/WR, 5-9, 155, sr.);<br />
Andy Larkin (S, 6-0, 170); Dane Myers (DL, 6-0, 210); Raul<br />
Silva (WR, 5-11, 165, sr.);<br />
2009 outlook: <strong>The</strong> Buffaloes have eight starters back on<br />
offense and five on defense. Smith said Garden City will try<br />
to run the spread offensively with Bernbeck serving as<br />
quarterback. Defensively, the Buffaloes lost three of four<br />
players in the secondary to graduation. Smith said the<br />
biggest key to success is staying healthy and having newcomers<br />
come through at several skill spots on offense and<br />
defense.<br />
GODDARD LIONS<br />
Coach: Roger Robben (sixth season, 22-28, 28-49)<br />
League: AVCTL I<br />
2008 record: 3-7 (3-0 district)<br />
Others to watch: Kenan Warren (S, 5-11, 161, jr.);<br />
Kenny Crowther (LB, 6-0, 182, sr.); Christian Ulsaker<br />
(WR, 6-6, 181, jr.); Seth Davenport (FB, 6-0, 212, jr.);<br />
Evan Clary (TE, 6-2, 191, sr.); Kevin O;Conner (RB, 5-9,<br />
178, jr.)<br />
2009 outlook: <strong>The</strong> Bullpups, whose only losses last year<br />
came to 5A champs <strong>Hutchinson</strong>, return seven starters on<br />
both sides of the ball, including Piper who threw for a<br />
school record 2,108 yards. Barrow also returns after rushing<br />
for 1,105 yards and leading the team with six sacks.<br />
Young expects the Bullpups to be strong at the skill positions<br />
offensively, but must replace three starters on the<br />
offensive and defensive lines. Depth on the line could be a<br />
problem for the Bullpups as Young said several one-way<br />
players may see time on both sides of the ball.<br />
NEWTON RAILERS<br />
Coach: Brent Glann (10th year, 40-47, 52-54 overall)<br />
League: AVCTL II<br />
2008 record: 6-3<br />
Top returners: Miguel Johns (DB/RB, 5-11, 175, sr.);<br />
Chris Garcia (DL, 5-10, 205, sr.); Kevin Ronen (DB/WR, 6-<br />
2, 180, sr.); Austin Burch (LB, 5-10, 180, sr.); Evan<br />
Thomas (DB, 5-10, 190, sr.); Nathan Briar (WR, 6-2, 180,<br />
sr.)<br />
Others to watch: Will Markus (OL, 5-10, 145, sr.); Jordy<br />
Bonczyk (DE/TE, 6-0, 190, sr.); Cody Opland (DB/QB, 5-9,<br />
160, sr.); Tyler Rambo (DE/TE, 6-0, 190, sr.); Craig<br />
Gihring (DL/OL, 6-3, 230, sr.)<br />
2009 outlook: <strong>The</strong> Railers will go through somewhat of<br />
a rebuilding year, but Glann said he’s excited to see how<br />
young players do in several key spots. Glann said Newton<br />
will go with several sophomores on defense, but do return<br />
Johns, who’s the top returning offensive player.<br />
SALINA CENTRAL MUSTANGS<br />
Coach: Michael Hall (fourth year, 19-14)<br />
League: AVCTL I<br />
2008 record: 5-5<br />
Top returners: Trey Dallas (QB, 6-2, 175, sr.); Cale<br />
Sharp (RB, 6-1, 180, jr.); Lucas Allen (TE, 6-2, 190, sr.);<br />
Rhett Enriquez (OL, 6-0, 230, sr.); Garrett Haney (OL, 6-1,<br />
245, sr.); Jared Robl (DL, 6-1, 200, sr.)<br />
Others to watch: Jesse Wassenberg (WR, 6-0, 160, sr.);<br />
Tyler Walker (OL, 6-2, 210, jr.); Aaron Davis (DL, 6-2, 195,<br />
jr.); Zach Prester (DB, 6-0, 170, sr.); Dylan Muilenburg<br />
(LB, 5-10, 160, sr.); Chandler Perez (DL, 5-10, 220, jr.);<br />
Shay Wooten (FS, 6-2, 195, jr.)<br />
2009 outlook: <strong>The</strong> Mustangs looked to be poised for an<br />
outstanding season as they return seven starters on<br />
offense and eight on defense. <strong>The</strong> Mustangs have a solid<br />
offensive line back, including all-stater Enriquez and allstate<br />
tight end Allen. Dallas is back at quarterback and<br />
Sharp at running back. Hall said the Mustangs will have<br />
good speed, but not size, on defense. <strong>The</strong> defensive line<br />
returns three starters and should be the Mustangs’<br />
strength.<br />
SALINA SOUTH COUGARS<br />
Coach: Dave Dunham (first year, 13th year overall)<br />
Top returners: Cameron Fisher (DB/QB, 6-0, 174, sr.);<br />
Tyler Hilton (LB/TE, 6-2, 220, sr.); Shane Rasch (DB/TE, 6-<br />
1, 192, sr.); Josh Hicks (DE/RB, 6-2, 225, sr.); Dylan<br />
Jennings-Spies (LB/RB, 6-0, 187, sr.);<br />
Others to watch: Stephon Betts (DB, 5-10, 185, sr.); John<br />
Fatkin (DL/OL, 6-2, 230, sr.); Tory Stoffregen (DB/RB, 6-0,<br />
180, sr.); Dakota Spencer (LB, 6-2, 190, sr.); Andrew Pina<br />
(DB/RB, 5-10, 167, sr.).<br />
2009 outlook: <strong>The</strong> Lions, who started 0-6 last season,<br />
return 19 letter winners and13 starters. After starting 0-6<br />
last season in what Robben called a rebuilding season, he<br />
said his squad should be more experienced this season.<br />
MAIZE EAGLES<br />
Coach: Craig Broadbent (third year, 6-13)<br />
League: AVCTL I<br />
2008 record: 2-7 (0-3 district)<br />
Top returners: Dillon Ayers (QB, 6-0, 185, sr.); Dylan<br />
Schellenberg (DB/WR, sr.); Miles Ukaoma (DB/WR, 6-1,<br />
180, sr.); Derek Lee (LB/WR, 6-3, 205, jr.); Terrance Jones<br />
(LB/RB, 5-8, 185, sr.); Ben Jensen (OL, 6-6, 215, sr.)<br />
Others to watch: Scott Hendricks (RB, 6-0, 185, jr.);<br />
Adam Scott (LB, RB, 5-10, 190, sr.); Aaron Crouse (DL/OL,<br />
6-1, 231, sr.); Tyler Bishop (K, 5-8, 140, jr.)<br />
2009 outlook: <strong>The</strong> Eagles have six defensive and three<br />
offensive starters returning. Offensively, Broadbent thinks<br />
the Eagles will be quick at running back and receiver, but<br />
rebuilding the offensive line after losing four starters is<br />
concerning. Broadbent said the Eagles must stay injuryfree.<br />
League: AVCTL I<br />
2008 record: 8-3<br />
Top returners: Daniel Johnson (OL, 225, sr.); Austin<br />
Jensen (OL, 225, sr.); JaBarie Cook (DL, 230, sr.); Xavier<br />
Lewis (DB, 180, sr.); Cody Williams (LB, 180, sr.); Tyler<br />
Haradine (DB, 160, sr.); Derek Harman (K, 185, sr.)<br />
Others to watch: Trent Forester (TE, 200, jr.); Brian<br />
Taylor (FB/LB, 215, sr.); Jason Seibel (DB, 170, sr.);<br />
Derek Krier (WR, 180, sr.); Travis Dolan (WR, 160, sr.);<br />
Kai Felix (OL, sr.)<br />
2009 outlook: Dunham, South’s defensive coordinator<br />
last season, returns to the sideline after Chip Sherman<br />
guided the Cougars into the second round of the playoffs<br />
last season, before falling to <strong>Hutchinson</strong>. Although he’s in<br />
his first year at South, Dunham won three state championships<br />
at Scott City. <strong>The</strong> Cougars have 27 returning letter<br />
winners and have experience returning in the skill<br />
positions and special teams. South will run an option<br />
attack with multiple formations. Defensively, South plans<br />
to with a 4-3 and 4-4 look. Dunham said the Cougars’ key<br />
to a successful season hinges on develop of the offensive<br />
and defensive lines.<br />
VALLEY CENTER HORNETS<br />
Coach: John Black (third year, 5-13)<br />
League: AVCTL II<br />
2008 record: 2-7<br />
Top returners: Taylor Johnson (RB/FS, 5-10, 175, sr.);<br />
Nate Williams (QB/DB, 6-3, 190, jr.); Evan Hamm (OL, 6-<br />
2, 210, sr.); Tanner Wilcox (DB, 6-2, 180, sr.); Joey Mies<br />
(DL, 6-3, 205, sr.); Warren Balthazor (DL, 5-9, 260, sr.);<br />
Jace Nibarger (LB, 6-2, 205, jr.)<br />
Others to watch: Aaron Lindstrom (LB/TE, 6-3, 205,<br />
sr.); Garrett Headley (DB/WR, 5-9, 145, sr.); Loi Tran<br />
(DB/WR, 6-0, 160, jr.); Austin Southards (LB/OL, 5-6, 155,<br />
jr.)<br />
2009 outlook: Black acknowledges that the Hornets have<br />
a lot of work to do. <strong>The</strong> Hornets’ strengths defensively are<br />
its defensive line and overall hustle. Offensively, Valley<br />
Center must improve on the offensive line. Williams, who<br />
played wide receiver last season, will move to quarterback<br />
while Johnson returns at running back.<br />
WINFIELD VIKINGS<br />
Coach: Justin Price (fourth year, 9-19)<br />
League: AVCTL II<br />
2008 record: 5-5 (2-1 district)<br />
Top returners: Garrett Mangrum (OL/LB, 6-0, 230, sr.);<br />
Tanner Bailey (QB, 6-1, 185, sr.); Ceth Bannister (WR/DB,<br />
6-1, 175, sr.); Jaden Groene (WR/DB, 6-2, 175, sr.)<br />
Others to watch: Nathan Menne (LB, 6-0, 180, sr.); Sam<br />
Sawyer (WR/DB, 6-1, 155, sr.)<br />
2009 outlook: <strong>The</strong> Vikings return the majority of their<br />
skill positions and have five starters returning on offense<br />
and also five back on defense. Price said the keys to a successful<br />
season are controlling the ball offensively and<br />
scoring in the red zone, creating turnovers defensively<br />
and not allowing big plays while continuing to improve<br />
each week as a team.<br />
Cordell<br />
●Continued from Page 14<br />
full house for most of the last 14<br />
years, as he and his wife Jacky have<br />
eight kids. <strong>The</strong> youngest girl, Callie,<br />
is a senior and of course plays basketball<br />
for her dad, like her sisters<br />
did.<br />
<strong>The</strong> youngest child is Chet, a freshman<br />
who, naturally, plays football for<br />
his dad like his brothers did.<br />
Coaching his kids has been one of<br />
the more challenging parts of<br />
Cordell’s job. But like almost everything<br />
else he’s done in Little River,<br />
it’s worked out fine.<br />
“I’m very fortunate to have done<br />
this where I grew up,” Cordell said. “I<br />
never planned on it. It’s just something<br />
that’s happened. I got the job<br />
and I wanted to do the best I could<br />
do.”<br />
He’s done quite well.<br />
Thierolf<br />
●Continued from Page 15<br />
“He’ll help you with your life’s<br />
problems and with anything footballrelated.<br />
He’s a good guy and he<br />
knows a lot about football and he can<br />
teach anything he wants.”<br />
Although Thierolf acknowledges<br />
that parents do the majority of the<br />
work in shaping their children, he<br />
said he enjoys it when former players<br />
return to Marion. In fact, many of<br />
Thierolf ’s neighbors once played for<br />
him.<br />
“To maintain those good relations<br />
with them is fun,” Thierolf said. “My<br />
next door neighbor is a former player.<br />
That guy living behind me is a former<br />
player. … Seeing them grow up<br />
and to see their kids, their wives,<br />
that’s fun. That’s an enjoyable part of<br />
it.”<br />
It could be an enjoyable season for<br />
the Warriors as they have eight<br />
starters back on offense and nine on<br />
defense.<br />
And that means Friday night’s<br />
game against Lyons will probably be<br />
played in front of a packed house.
