Gause and Young said they plan to attend Milford Academy, a prep school in New Berlin in Chenango County, in order to help their pursuit of Division I football scholarships. "As long as I do what I need to do, I'll get there,'' Gause said. Gause, a 17-year old listed at 6-foot-4 1/2 and 205 pounds, caught 61 passes for 1,119 yards, including 15 touchdowns for Bishop Kearney last fall. He also played at defensive end for the Kings during his third varsity season. "I wasn't getting the interest from the schools that I want,'' Gause said. "(Milford) has coaches who've been there a long time, they know what to do to get you to the next level.''
