Carl Hemple Jr. with Tri-County President Paul Berry. "Very surprised and very honored to be recognized by the Tri-County Midget Football League at the 2015 coaches dinner.
"I want to thank the TCMFL board, Paul Berry, Sam Miletta, who brought me into coaching, my wife Debbie, who put up with me for this long, and all the coaches who did it for me when I played.
"Can't believe it has been 24 years.
"I'm officially a grey beard.''

If not for Carl Hemple Jr., Bridgeton Midget Football would still not be back in Tri-County.
If not for him, Cumberland Midget Football would have never started.
They picked on the right guy to honor this time.

"I kept trying to be cool but I kept getting into trouble, so I decided to just be me and I started to get blessed and in the process I found out that I was already cool.
"I learned that if you stop wasting all that energy trying to be someone that your not you'll probably like the person that you are.''

New Jersey Motorsports Park Fast Facts:
With his eight wins thus far in 2015, Cameron Beaubier now has 11 career Superbike wins.
That puts him in a tie for 15th on the all-time win list with Australian Anthony Gobert.
A win at New Jersey Motorsports Park would move Beaubier into a tie with MotoAmerica rider representative and former AMA Superbike Champion Doug Chandler.
Beaubier comes into the New Jersey round with an 18-point lead over his teammate, Josh Hayes.
If Beaubier earns his first career MotoAmerica Superbike Championship, he will become the 20th different rider to win the title in the series that began in 1976 with the crowning of its first champion, Reg Pridmore.
Of Josh Hayes' 56 career Superbike wins, nine of those have come at New Jersey Motorsports Park, making him the most successful of the current crop of MotoAmerica racers who will race in New Jersey, Sept. 11-13.
