This is very true.

Do you know if they will be selling them game day. I want one!

The Norwayne soccer field is a cow pasture out behind the baseball field. They do not play on the football field. Surpised the state even lets them hold playoff games there. It is bad.

Paper said Hillsdale's jv went undefeated. I didn't attend any games. Due to roster size I imagine the team had some juniors contributing????

Dalton won against Chippewa last Saturday and I think that's been the only one. Currently between kids playing varsity and injuries they have only about 14-15 left to play jv.

How many WCAL schools actually have a Freshman team?

^^Hillsdale and Norwayne are the two schools with the most numbers in the program.....

You know, I love reality tv. Because, well, it's real and it suits my analytical enjoyment of observing how humans interact. But it has a downside. It seems to be teaching us that it's okay to always "let it all hang out" and that what we think is right supercedes what anyone else thinks is right. So here we all are with our "rights" clashing into each others'. And because there is no wrong we never have a need to examine how our right affects the other person.
So if the officiating is bad, it's okay to yell at the ref because it's my right. If the ref then starts to make calls against us in retaliation that makes us more right to yell more. But it never makes us wrong to insult an official because we are always right. Right? The same for a fan of another team to take offense at the actions of a wayward boy or a poster to insult another poster on this site.
We have lost sight of the fact that our actions have consequences and hurt people and hurt our schools and hurt our kids. That in fact, we can be WRONG. Worse yet we have taught this to our children and now bear the consequences of that.
As a parent I remember when I decided what kind of fan I was going to be. When my oldest was a freshman wrestler 3 things determined that. 1) the mother of one of my son's opponents yelled to her son, "Take him out for the season!". 2) I saw a young man clearly mortified and hurt after his dad yelled out to him everything he was doing wrong during his match. 3) The animosity that broke out between Northwestern, Waynedale and Tuslaw "fans" at the sectional match that year. After those incidents I chose not to stand mat side and to make every yell I gave a positive one. I did it for my son, my school, my teams and for me. Have I been perfect, no. But I try to remember that young Mr. 22 is a kid like my kid. He is sometimes insecure and prideful. He has parents who love him. He loves his school like my kids love their school. He wants to win like my kids do. He does dumb things and he deserves to be forgiven like I would want to be.
So Bobcat, I'm sorry some of your kids had to hear what they heard. It hurts me to hear a parent teach rudeness rather than graciousness by their actions. I know it hurts their kids to hear too, no matter what they say.
And if this makes sense copy and paste it and distribute it to your kids and your coaches and your supers and lets see if we can change the tide back to common sense.

That's a deep post!




Nice job mom.

I really like that post, mompov. Tried to give you a rep, too......but it said "spread it around first", which goes to show how much I like what you post. I deal with a lot of the stuff you talked about everyday. You did good.:thumbup:

By the way, don't construe from my post that I don't get that what gets said here isn't mostly just good natured ribbing or that opinions aren't okay. There is just a right and wrong way to go about it.

I really believe that you can learn a lot from adversity and you definitely find out what kind of character a person has when things are not going how they would like. Everyone has a plan until they get hit. Let's see what Norwayne does this week. I bet that they come out focused and inspired.

Also, I would go out a pretty big limb here and predict that if either Smithville or Hillsdale makes the playoffs, they will be playing for a regional championship during week 13.

Although the big game is in Crestucky, I think there will be a good game to watch in the Creek. Two young teams that have come along this season.

I think calling Creston Crestucky is kinda childish as well, thats kinda a slam to some of the people here. I hope you will all remember that it's Crestvirginia, not Crestucky. Thank you for the help on this matter. :thumbup:

Right, it's Crest Virginia and Rittucky

I suppose some of it is staged like WWF, but some of it is just too crazy to be faked.

Crest Virginia is an insult to the fine people of West Virginia.

This is OHIO Chatter.


Hope this helps.

It looks like more rain today!! could make for a sloppy game at Norwayne.
Reality TV is not real!! I have watched my share of "reality shows" I agree with basis of the things Mompov said, but find nothing real about those shows!, hand picked people, put into contrived situations and bad behavior gets rewarded by getting more screen time. NOT REAL.

They got computers in West Virginia ?

Whoops, forgot they get to use them when they are in Ohio before they head back done 77 on Friday nights.
