Kenton stopped Hartley by putting ten men in the box, because all Hartley did was run. Beating Smithville, well nine times out of ten Norwayne would have beat them, the Bobcats stacked the deck against themselves that game.

Okay let me go write something on my Red Rider sports blog , then go put a video together Of the team to show On the scoreboard at the game, give updates on all the injuries, oh wait I can't do this stuff because you already do all that. Besides my life revolves around more than just sitting around on the computer researching stats and writing about17-year-olds. Now I ask you who's living vicariously through who ?

And my time lately is being spent with my 3 kids...trying to bring them up right.

Series, as long as my "one side" is the positive side, then I'll do that all day long. Call it the counter to your agenda-driven hate.

Some of you claim you don't read it, but seem to know plenty about it...so I appreciate the visits and the comments in the past about how you appreciate the historical information I've gathered. That's probably what the site will become...too tough to keep up with numerous sports 9 months out of the year.

Hence, therefore & alas.

Hence, your life may become nothing without living vicariously through high schoolers, especially football and basketball...
Therefore, we know you will continue on living vicariously through the high schoolers...
Alas...tell the whole story, the truth, it's not negative to say the Riders record is 1-8 and that it'll really mess with you if they lose to Wooster!

It would seem that the defensive discipline is his responsibility and a reflection of how he coaches/teaches them. Seems to me that most penalties this season were on the defense so it's not only the head coach who should be thrown under the bus but the offensive and defensive coordinators may not be coaching geniuses either despite what some may say and think.

Call it BS all you want, but again, just the truth. The last thing I need to do is justify myself to a group of haters...and I know you won't take it at face value, but there you go.

Don't have the time like I used to and I've always said that my family will win out when it comes to prioritizing time.

RRN....I'll gladly pass the torch to you if you want to continue writing your book. Maybe TK can write the forward about his playing days and Series can throw in his 2 cents about his experiences as well....should be a best seller.

The game has obviously passed you up and you clearly know NOTHING about it. Way to throw Coach Haley under the bus and once again defend your boy! It all starts and stops with the head coach and there is nothing you can argue there. Whats the breakfast special at Mrs J's this morning coffee and bull----???

So if I dont go to the Wooster game I do not have the right to post my opinion? Is that like if I dont vote I cant have an opinion? I dont need to attend the game to know there will be late hits, lack of discipline, lack of desire, and the current Coach standing 30yds away from his team. I have that image burned in my mind as it is that way every game I have attended since he took over. No thanks I am sure I can find something better to do with my time!

Feel free to have any opinion you wish...just allow room for others to disagree with the opinion. That's why this site exists.

Seems lately you want to talk about how you're right and the rest of us were wrong for even daring to support this team. Good for you that you saw it in the stars that this team was going to be 1-8. I think we all knew a dip was possible after last year...but we all hoped for the best. We looked good in our 7-on-7's but that should show how much stock to put in those. Week 1 went pretty good but it's been tough sledding.

I think by default we should support the kids, it should be the automatic response. Doesn't mean we have blinders on, just means we want the school we graduated from to do well.

I think it's just piling on a little..the kids & coaches are struggling through a 1-8 season....and all of a sudden there's this groundswell for a new coach, a coach that's had exactly 1 losing season in 7 years and has won 51 games in those 7 years (7+ per season). Just think its more than a little premature for the replacement talk.

It pops up now because its convenient. Nobody was saying that last season or the 5 years before that. Some were lying around waiting for this program to have a bad season so they could start this conversation...if you call yourself a Red Rider and are one of those people, I think that's incredibly sad...and wreaks of a personal agenda versus the man...not the coach.

That's my thoughts on nobody in particular. Support is easy to give, and this of all weeks it should come easy.
