sherm03;986887 wrote:I don't know why people don't choose Mooney and Ursuline over say WGH or Fitch. But they do. Whatever the reason. Maybe it's a playing time thing. Maybe the kids don't want to deal with the tougher academics. Maybe the parents cannot afford to purchase the required school uniforms. Maybe some people hate Catholic schools as much as some of you guys on here and refuse to send their kids there. Maybe one kid decides he wants to go to WGH and his group of friends decides they want to stay together in high school instead of splitting up. Who knows people's reason for not choosing Mooney or Ursuline. I sure as hell wish they would pick Mooney or Ursuline every time. But they don't. That's just how stuff goes. Maybe there's a reason we'll never really know...like the kid that went to Catholic grade school and then to Mooney, but just transferred at the end of last year to Austintown Fitch (he probably would have gotten good PT at RB this year for the Cards, too instead of riding the bench behind Will Mahone).

And Mooney is growing. In case you didn't notice, they have jumped up from Div IV to Div III recently. And if they keep winning, kids will continue to want to be a part of it and keep showing up at the doorstep.

I'm interested to hear, since you know the answer, what it is. Because I just provided a number of very realistic possibilities. But please...tell me what you think it is. I already know your answer, and I guarantee that my possibilities are more realistic than your conspiracy theory.

And you guys are the biggest outlaw program in the country and it's disgusting. Steubenvill is just a bunch of hired help mercenaries that can't get the job done against Mooney.

Cause there is no way a public school can beat a private school right? Or maybe they were a better team? See skank good teams can beat privates just cause those buch of has beens in Massillon can't do it doesn't mean it can't be done. Or that there is an unfair advantage.

sherm03;989243 wrote:Right now, there are only two parochials left in the playoffs, St. Iggy and Mooney. So you whiners are guaranteed AT LEAST 4 state titles, this year.

Does that mean that this off-season we aren't going to have to hear you guys bitching and whining about how unfair it is? Can you now at least realize that it's high school football, and things go in cycles. All your complaining and whining all year long about how unfair things are and how the big bad private schools cheat and win all the state titles was just that...nothing but complaining and whining. Now you have the possibility to win all 6 titles, and will definitely win at least 4.

But keep complaining thickythick and skankers. You've ignored facts and stats all this time. I'm foolish for thinking you'd ignore the results from this year, too.

Coaches have 25 seconds to call there plays. Seems to me whether its a public school or private school. the rules of the game are the same. Now, if player A wants to be better than player B, There are many options available. You could work on strength ,agility and simply learning the game. This would also apply to the respective Coaches.Anything can happen during 48 minutes of play,That is why you play the game.

Excellent post. However you make too much sense therefore Thick and Skank will totally ignore you. If you think that hard work and good coaching beats some unseen sinister parochial school agenda they will mark you down as one of the "parochial 7".

I highly doubt that the other Public Schools in the playoffs give one good crap about you

What's wrong with this picture?

genghis dong;989463 wrote:Why do have to bring up Faust when your team cheated. That's right your team was found guilty. Mooney never was UHS never was. I know it's a big conspiracy by the OHSAA to make sure the private schools win. Maybe you should call Jesse Ventura and he can do a show on it for you.

It's called IRONY, the great Gerry Faust actually rents a home that HE owns....To a family from TEXAS, still with me? For the simple fact that said family, has two sons, who are both, VERY good, at playing football. Nothing suspicious there huh? Oh, did I mention that the two football players played football for....Gerry Faust.
