...Marcos Baptist Academy, the team Eddie's son Chris played defensive back for, took on Waco's Reicher Catholic with the playoffs at stake. Chris was all of 5 ft. 7 in. (1.7 m) and 120 lb. (55 kg). He liked to "put the wood on it," as his father recalled. With the game on the line, a running back for Reicher found daylight and made a move to the inside as Chris came up to cut him off.

Instead, many voters are taking the opportunity to send him a message that they are still suffering economically. Karu de Silva, a resident of Colombo and father of two, says he plans to vote for Fonseka because he feels that Rajapaksa's government has not given families any relief from rising prices. "This year I spent probably twice as much as I spent last year on the books for the new school year," de Silva says. "We need some kind of help...
