Watson addresses Globe All-Scholastics

All this week we'll be posting video highlights from the 2008 Globe All-Scholastics awards banquet, which featured New England Patriots tight end Benjamin Watson as the keynote speaker.

Watson mixed plenty of humor into his speech that encouraged the student-athletes to enjoy the journey throughout their high school and college careers. Below, check out a highlight reel from Watson's speech, which includes his thoughts on tracking down Champ Bailey during the 2005 playoffs, comments on Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, and a light moment after the speech in which Globe High School Sports Editor Bob Holmes draws the ire of the crowd with a jab at the 2007 Patriots.

We'll have much more video throughout the week. Here's the tentative plan:

• Monday: Ben Watson's speech
• Tuesday: Brian Morrissey's speech
• Wednesday: Meredith Frank's speech
• Thursday: Athlete of the Year presentations
• Friday: More highlights from this year's banquet

For those of you who attended the event, we hope you had as much fun as we did. We'll also try to post the season highlight video that ran on the big screens at the start of Sunday's program.
