Archbishop Murphy High School football players Tani Tupou and Julius Tevaga

Seniors Tani Tupou and Julius Tevaga are two huge reasons why the 2010 Archbishop Murphy High School football team is expected to contend for a Class 2A state championship. Tupou, a defensive end/tight end, verbally committed to play for the University of Washington and Tevaga, an offensive and defensive tackle, has received lots of college recruiting interest. In this interview after practice on Aug. 30, 2010, the close friends talk about the Wildcats' strong defense, new assistant coach James Glenn's immediate impact and Archbishop Murphy's season-opening matchup against Ellensburg.
