20-14The Deering High football team had a special visitor the week of its opener against Portland. Dick Capp, a Deering standout who graduated in 1960 and a member of the Green Bay Packers' Super Bowl II champs, talked to the team about his time as a high school player, the importance of giving your all and playing for legendary coach Vince Lombardi.
Capp was a member of Deering's 1959 Class A state championship team, and was an All-State end as a senior.
Capp, vacationing at the family camp in South Casco, was driving through his old neighborhood when he decided to visit Deering. He was walking the hallways when he ran into Athletic Director Bill LeRoy, who asked Capp if he would talk to the team.
''I didn't talk very long, maybe five minutes,'' said Capp. ''I told them how important it is to play with passion, as if every play could be your last. I talked about our 1959 team and how we hung in there on Thanksgiving Day and rallied to beat Portland for the state title.''
Capp also related how Lombardi got in his face because he didn't dive to knock a punt from going into the end zone for a touchback in the Super Bowl.
''There was about a minute and half left (in a 33-14 victory over Oakland), but Coach Lombardi was still upset,'' he said.
Capp, who also played basketball and ran track, spent a postgraduate year at Worcester (Mass.) Prep. There he was recruited by Boston College to play basketball.
''Boston College had already signed five players for basketball so they gave me a half-scholarship,'' said Capp, who now lives in Cary, N.C.
''One day, the BC football coach Jim Miller was watching basketball practice. He was looking for an end. That's how I started playing football at BC. I had a half scholarship for basketball and a half scholarship for football.''
After college, Capp tried out for the then-Boston Patriots and was put on the equivalent of a practice squad. He eventually ended up with the Packers, then was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals, then the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he played in 14 games on special teams in the 1968 season before retiring.
Capp, who has five children, owns a commercial cleaning company.
''We've had people who have had success in football come and speak to the team,'' said Deering Coach Greg Stilphen. ''Dick Capp is part of the Deering football family. He talked about his experience at Deering and how football really helped him. He talked about playing for Coach Vince Lombardi. It was all pretty cool.''
CHEVERUS IS off to a fast start with a 2-0 record. The Stags opened with a victory at Gorham, then beat Windham at home.
Cheverus controlled the tempo in both games with a huge edge in time of possession. In two games the Stags have had the ball 64 minutes and 35 seconds to their opponents' 31 minutes and 25 seconds.
EIGHT WESTERN Class A teams will get a head start on the third week of the season by playing tonight. The games were moved from their regular Friday night slot because of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish holiday.
In action will be Deering at Bonny Eagle, Portland at Westbrook, Kennebunk at Biddeford and Scarborough at Sanford. All games start at 7 p.m.
BIDDEFORD SOPHOMORE Nate McKeown could be a throwback -- a lineman who kicks.
McKeown, son of John McKeown, the former Biddeford High and UMass standout, kicked two field goals last week in a 22-10 victory against Massabesic.
McKeown booted a 23-yard field goal to make it 3-3, then kicked a 30-yarder to give Biddeford a 13-10 lead. McKeown also had two extra points.
In the opening game, a 27-0 win over Marshwood, McKeown made 3 of 4 extra points.
McKeown's kicking could be limited tonight against Kennebunk. He injured his ankle Monday in a junior varsity game.
