What I meant was you rarely see kids go to a different school to get on a better swimming team like you do in football. Most of their coaching is private and although it's a team sport really it's individual for most. Obviously there are exceptions but nothing near like football.

He feels that if I were bigger/faster/stronger...he'd be living in a better house now that Mooney paid for.

And did you ever think that if your godson is doing Roids and got caught, he's going to say..."the whole team does it" to try to avoid punishment? We're talking about kids here. They'll throw anyone under the bus if it means they won't be in as much trouble.


To an extent I agree with you. It is up to the parents to be involved with what their kids are doing. However, the students are the responsibility of teachers/coaches/administrators. If someone has a bold claim like that (assuming there was more proof than, "my son says the whole team is doing steroids") then the administration should step in.

My guess is this is just another one of those I know a guy who knows a guy type stories. It's funny that the parents of the kids that "get recruited" or something like that are never the ones to mention the story. It's always an uncle or a neighbor or a godfather who knows everything that's going on.

You complaining about ANYONE having an excuse for everything is the funniest thing on here.

sherm03;705624 wrote:Because schools that constantly under perform feel that getting the parochial schools out of their division will give them a better shot at winning a state championship. They have cried and whined long enough that the OHSAA is finally trying to throw them a bone to shut them up. The OHSAA is also are composed of people with the soccer mom mentality that it's not fair that one schools does well on a consistent basis. So in the thought vain that everyone deserves to be a state champion, they are looking to make that a realistic possibility.
