I feel confident in saying that coaches like Smitty probably couldn't keep a coaching job in todays PC world, he bit me head butted me and threatened to kick my A*% in the locker room more than one time. And I mean threw his sport coat off and got in my face..... He was challenging me to be better, and I get it! Kids today...... I'm just not so sure? Now I am not saying that coaching of that style is right or wrong or even needed in this case or discussion I am just saying it seems the overall expectations we, the community and parents have for our young people just isn't the same. When I was in school and a coach or teacher came down on me my father NEVER questioned the coach, teacher or staff, he simply whipped my but and told me to do what I was told. I think coaches today have to be more mindful of consquences today then in the past? Maybe thats good? IDK, but interesting to discuss....

And sounds like Summers will have surgery after the W. Holmes game so he has time to heal before football seasdon.

What's also nice is getting that first win.

RedRider1;1364257 wrote:Liked the effort last night. That was one of the better Senior teams I've seen & we hung with them.

Luke Smith is mature for a freshman & Alex Smith had a career game.

Losing Summers to shoulder surgery is a real bummer. Team is starting to hit a stride.

As we all know this is a tough conference and every night there is no easy game on the schedule. I think they can make some noise in Districts. Just a side note... think if the Neer's did not transfer or Bates and Trevor and Zook were healthy, it would be interesting to see how good that team could have been. But does not matter have to play with the kids you have and they are playing hard game in and game out just seems to be times during the game when they cannot score. Go Riders!
