Former Franklin coach and Middlesex native meets Theo

The rumors were flying Friday that Charlie Weis (Middlesex High '74) and former Franklin coach (1989), now the head coach at the University of Notre Dame was in Somerville Friday. The story was true. Weis stopped by to express his interest in Immaculata star running back Theo Riddick and lineman Mark Brazinski. Weis also stopped by Somerville to see receiver Mike Naples.

"It was great," said Riddick, who later Friday led Immaculata to its 20th straight win, a 23-0 conquest of Voorhees with two touchdown runs. "It's basically an honor. You see him on television and then you get to meet him."

Riddick said it's too early to talk about serious college destinations for him, but he added that it would be interesting to "explore" life outside of New Jersey, but also "it would be nice to be home."
