Like our worst guy is better than their guy, every time. So it's nice to have that," said JT Vogel, a senior safety.Led by Vogel, CBA has arguably one of the best high school secondaries in the state. He's joined by junior safety Jack Hulett, as well as senior cornerbacks McIntyre and Gunnar Felton."Shutting teams out — it's a great way to show how good our defense is, how hard we worked all offseason," Felton said.But what makes this group stand out, besides all four players standing at least 6-foot-1, is the fact that all of them will be playing Division I college football. Vogel has committed to Princeton, McIntyre to Fordham and Felton to Army. Hulett, a year younger, has already received numerous Division I offers."Definitely getting these offers was fun, but it also pushed everyone too, because they knew I was going to be on them, so they went out to perform," Vogel said."When JT got his first offer, it made me want to work harder and get to his level, and start getting offers myself," Hulett said.Hulett first saw the potential of this unit when he, McIntyre and Felton played together on junior varsity. Once the trio linked up with Vogel, a four-year varsity starter, their games have only elevated."Trying to push each other in the weight room, trying to push each other when we're on the field, getting reps — just want to help everyone get better," Felton said."Obviously with the scholarships that they've got, it's a great thing," said Bob Burns, CBA's head coach. "But like I try to remind them all the time, we've got to go out and prove it every Friday night, too."The Brothers have certainly done that so far this season as they strive to win their fifth Section 2 championship in six years — another step forward in their pursuit of the program's first-ever football state championship."Self-accolades are great. It's great to go home and show your mom and dad what you've accomplished," Vogel said. "But winning state titles — I mean, no one will ever forget that. We won it in basketball, and that was probably the best feeling ever. So winning a state title with these guys would be special."</div></body>
