A meeting to get pumped by

Stopped by Hunterdon Central Thursday afternoon to take a picture of Alexander Lum, the versatile Red Devil junior slot back.

Central coach Matt Perotti had his team come in at 5 p.m. to practice, so they could get familiar with the time they will be playing Piscatawayat Rutgers Stadium Saturday.

"Usually, the kids are coming down at this point from our practice," Perotti said. "So we're going to come in at 5 today and tomorrow."

The Red Devils went over special teams in a short practice. Defensive coordinator Tom Bill and Perotti spoke before the Red Devils went outside.

At one point, Perotti quoted Sun Tzu, author of "The Art of War", one of the oldest books on military strategy in the world. Sun Tzu was the first to recognize the importance of positioning in strategy and that position is affected both by objective.

One of Tzu's quotations is: "Therefore one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the most skillful. Seizing the enemy without fighting is the most skillful."

That wasn't the one Perotti used.
