LYNN – They practice in the gloaming of Keaney Park. It’s cold, and some of the kids are small enough so that it looks as if a good gust of the wind that sweeps across the Meadow could take them along.They may not all be the biggest of kids ? but they all have big dreams. The boys and girls from the East Lynn Pop Warner B and C teams have made it to the New England semifinals. Two more wins by either team and they won’t be dealing with the cold come December. They’ll be trying to figure out how to get to Disney World for the national championships.Actually, this has been a banner year for local youth football. The West Lynn Pop Warner C squad made the Eastern Mass. final before falling last Sunday, and the newly-formed Lynn Chargers fifth- and sixth-grade teams made it to the same round before coming up short.For East Lynn, making it to Florida presents many challenges. Obviously, there’s the football, although both B squad coach Duke Wilson and his C squad counterpart, Bob Maitland, say their players, coaches and parents help that particular challenge take care of itself.But if the kids get that far, the organization will have to step up the fundraising.”We’re going to have to do more,” admits first-year East Lynn president Paul McGough, who is keenly aware that his base of supporters has been more than generous up to now.”There are so many of them,” McGough says. “And they’ve all been simply fantastic.”But,” he says, “we’re going to need more money.”How much more depends, of course, on how the kids do Sunday, when they swing into action. The C squad is up first, at 11 a.m., against Franklin; and the B team is next, at 1:15, against King Philip (a combination of players from Wrentham and Plainville).Naturally, McGough would like to see a good contingent down there – and he’d be very happy if that support continues for the duration of the postseason.Discipline and commitmentBoth Wilson and Maitland have been associated with Pop Warner for more than a decade, and each demands the same things from their players: Discipline and commitment.”We like to stay involved with the kids all year round,” said Maitland. “It’s all about discipline and commitment to the team. The only way to play football is to be a good student, and a good family member.”I’m in contact with every parent of every player, all year round. If homework’s not getting done, I want to know.”Wilson, who played high school football at Classical for coach Dave Dempsey, says his players, who are 12 and 13 years old, buy into his system and have become old enough, and smart enough, to grasp it.”At that age,” he says, “you can start teaching them about different schemes. If you run the spread offense, like we do, you might use a complicated scheme, but you’ll simplify the terminology so that they can understand it.”Whatever they’re doing, it’s working. Neither team has lost a game, and both squads have defenses that have been the equivalent of stone walls.It’s a traditionThe East Lynn program, since it practices at Keaney Park (which is next to Lynn English), has an age progression at the Meadows. The youngest kids practice farthest away from the school building, while the bigger kids – the A team – are right next to it.”We want to give the kids the idea that you progress to the point where you can wear that helmet with the Bulldog on it (English’s logo),” Maitland says.Toward that end, plenty of Bulldogs – past and present – are constantly coming back to the practices and talking to the players.”Guys like Byron Brown, Bryan Bingham, Chris Carroll, (Ryan) Woumn ? they all come and talk to the kids, and tell them to trust in their coaches,” Maitland says.In the same vein, the English coaches have been very active in cultivating a relationship with the group.”Everybody from (principal) Andy Fila on down ? they’ve been fantastic,” said McGough.A defensive juggernautMaitland’s C squad has been as stingy as it gets. Through 11 games, it has given up two touchdowns, an average
