IN THESE ECONOMIC TIMES, IT'S NICE TO SEE PEOPLE MAKING ADDITIONS, NOT SUBTRACTIONS.
     IT'S ESPECIALLY NICE TO SEE, WHEN THOSE ADDITIONS HAVE TO DO WITH FOOTBALL.
     SUCH IS THE CASE WITH SEMI-PRO FOOTBALL IN ITHACA...
     THEY'RE CALLED THE ITHACA TOMPKINS COUNTY AGGRESSION...AND THEY'RE THE NEWEST TEAM IN THE NORTH AMERICAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE.
     THEY'LL BE PLAYING IN THE EMPIRE DIVISION WITH TEAMS LIKE THE GLENS FALLS GREEN JACKETS AND SOUTHERN TIER WARRIORS.
     NOW THE COACHES FOR THE AGGRESSION ARE NO STRANGER TO SEMI-PRO FOOTBALL, AND HAVE ROUNDED UP A PRETTY MOTLEY CREW.
     BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT LOOKS LIKE A TOUGH AND ATHLETIC CREW AS WELL, AND IT'S GOT EVERYONE FEELING GOOD ABOUT WHAT LIES AHEAD.

     THERE'S SOME PRETTY GOOD PLAYERS ON THIS TEAM...ONE OF WHOM YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE.
     FORMER EFA RUNNING BACK DERRICK BECKWORTH.
     THIS GUY WASN'T JUST ANY HIGH SCHOOL STAR...HE'S THE BEST BACK TO COME THROUGH THE BLUE DEVIL SYSTEM NOT NAMED ERNIE DAVIS.
     IN FACT, HE BROKE SOME OF ERNIE'S SCHOOL RECORDS.
     BUT IT'S BEEN SIX YEARS SINCE FANS IN THE TWIN TIERS HAVE SEEN HIM RUN.
     SO DERRICK...YOU STILL GOT IT?
