Archbishop Spalding football coach Mike Whittles making each day, game count
Whittles has been undergoing treatments, which have caused him to miss practices but never a game until tonight. When contacted at the hospital this afternoon Whittles reacted as one might expect - talking about the game first and foremost."I know we are prepared for Calvert Hall and I know the players understand the magnitude of this game," Whittles said in a text message. "We are playing one of the top teams in the state and must bring our ‘A' game. The players and coaches know that as long as everyone does their very best, good things will happen. All week the football team has prepared for tonight's game and all I expect is their very best effort."
As if an afterthought, Whittles, in his 13th season at the helm of the program, then responded to the fact that he would miss the game: "It is very bothersome for me not to be there, but I will be on each player's shoulders tonight offering words of encouragement.
