Strap in kids, it's the Winter edition of the Top 10. These are the things that were rattling around in the mind of Justin McIsaac this week....

10. TY VITKO WAS A TERMINATOR

32 points for Dover’s Vitko, including 10-11 from the FT line (“Layups, Free Throws, and Great Defense” – Dave Smith) was the difference in Dover’s 72-70 win over Nashua North. The Greenwave was without Johnny Cantwell, sitting with a sprained ankle, so they needed someone to step up, and The Terminator (can we make this nickname a thing? Yes. Yes we can.) was up to the task.

9. SHERMAN’S MARCH TO 29

Jake Sherman managed to pour in 29 points for the Pembroke Spartans in a win over Social Media Giant Timberlane. How one can manage to find the composure to get 29 and lead your team to a 20 point win over the Owls, who are the biggest social media sensation since Blake Bortles Facts is beyond me, but Sherman got it done.

8. THERE’S NO WAY IN HELL THAT YOU THOUGHT NICK FOLES WAS CAPABLE OF THAT

353 yards and 3 TD’s? Even the most horse punching Eagle fan didn’t believe in his heart that “Footlong Foles” (look it up -no, wait, don’t) would be able to channel his inner Tom Brady against a stout Vikings defense. All during this game I was torturing my good friend who happens to be an Eagles fan by texting stuff like “This just proves that Carson Wentz is a system QB” and “Do you need to trade Wentz outside the division, or does it matter?”, because I’m an evil person.

7. BEDFORD MAKES JEN CHICK-RUTH EAT HER WORDS

During our Pre-Season girls podcast, JCR stated that “It’s BG’s world, everyone else is just living in it.” The Bulldogs would like a word, Jen. 8-0 now after a 48-43 win over the Cardinals, and there’s a 1000000000% chance that Jen’s words were on every bulletin board in the Bedford locker room.

6. CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING A VIKINGS FAN?

Since I’ve been alive (1978, if you’re scoring at home), the Vikings have gagged in NFC Championship games in:

1987 (losing to Washington)

1998 (in overtime, and they absolutely would’ve beaten the Broncos in the Super Bowl that year)

2000 (When they were favored over Kerry Collins and the Giants and got MURDERED)

2009 (Brett Favre pulls a Brett Favre late in regulation), and now this year, when they laid an absolute egg against NICK FOLES of all people with a chance to play at home in the Super Bowl.

And that doesn’t even count the Blair Walsh missed chip shot in 2015. I don’t think I could take being a Vikings fan.

5. THE BOW TIE KILLER RIPS MY HEART OUT

You’d think Max Bonney-Liles would take it easy on my beloved Spaulding Red Raiders (the best 1 win team in the history of sports) after I gave him such a cool nickname last year, but no, he was huge in a 68-63 win for Alvirne over the Red Raiders. Lots of buzz preseason as Alvirne being a team that can get to Durham, and that hasn’t shown any signs of letting up. Tuesday’s home test vs Bedford should be a good one for the Broncos.

4. THE SUPPORT GROUP FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO HEAR DAVE SCREAM ABOUT GILFORD MEETS EVERY WEDNESDAY

So if Notre Dame manages to string 3 wins together during the NCAA football season, those of us who are friends with one David Haley start getting those texts and phone calls about the Irish having the potential to beat the ’07 Patriots, the ‘85 Bears, and the ’67 Packers, all at the same time.

If Gilford manages to get to the Final 4 (and with wins over Berlin and Somersworth, there’s no reason to think they can’t), we’re all going to need shoulders to cry on when the “No, seriously, do you think this Gilford team would’ve beaten Brett Hanson’s Central team by 10 or by 15?” texts start flying…

3.  THE JAGS ARE THE LATEST TEAM TO POOP THEIR PANTS, THEN GET THEIR GUTS RIPPED OUT BY THE PATS

Up 10 in the 4th, with no Gronk on the opposite side, and Bortles looking like 1988 Joe Montana somehow, Jacksonville had to be feeling good about getting to their first Super Bowl, but like SO many other teams, they looked across the field at Bill Belichick and all of the sudden it was “bowels turn to water” time. They got way too conservative at times, and ultimately found themselves wondering “What the hell happened?” – it’ll be ok, Jags. Just ask Atlanta. Or Seattle. Or Baltimore. Wait, don’t ask any of those teams.

2. JOSH WOODS IS TEEN WOLF

Lisbon scored 53 points in a loss to Hinsdale, and Josh Woods had FORTY ONE of them for America’s Team. I’m no mathematician, but that’s about 576% of Lisbon’s points in the game. He’s a force for Sam Natti’s squad, who should really wear the Beacontown High Beavers uniforms one game this season in honor of The Wolf Josh Woods.

1. THE GOAT BECAME EVEN GOATIER, AND I DON’T EVEN CARE IF THAT’S NOT A WORD

12 stiches in your throwing hand? Facing the best defense in the AFC? Without Gronk? Or Edelman? With an EIGHTH trip to the SuperBowl on the line? Down 10? Just another day at the office for the greatest professional athlete I will ever get to watch (Ric Flair included). Eight Super Bowl appearances in 16 full seasons at QB for Brady. Good Grief.

ALSO RECEIVING VOTES: Bow’s got 2 wins but a 1 point loss to ORHS and a 2 point loss to MV, UNH Hockey tied twice with Maine this weekend so I’ve still never broadcasted a UNH loss to Maine, I really hope Jax doesn’t get an actual QB, Portsmouth with 2 losses for the first time since the Pilgrims landed
