If a dad confronted you because you called out his son that is between you and him. I don't think it is appropriate for adults to attack a HS kid by name as an anonymous poster, but that's just me. I also don't know the vast majority of people who post on here, I simply weigh what that have to say and see if it matches up with what I see on the field.
I agree with Series62 regarding the mystique of our sports programs...our history is largely based on being the underdog taking on the bigger schools and beating them. Joining the WCAL league is not a good fit for our sports program and our current administration does not like the idea for a variety of reasons--that is a fact. So regardless of what is bandied about on this board, it isn't going to happen. The sad reality is that we probably wouldn't have won the WCAL in football the past 2 seasons anyway. Let the debate begin.
As I said in the preseason, we are lacking talent...that doesn't mean we have NO talent, it means we don't have enough. My honest opinion was that we would fall somewhere between 2-8 and 4-6 based on what we had coming out. My final prediction was 4-6. That is a successful season for what we have on the field in my opinion. I specifically said we have no Monheim, Pierman, Miller, Turner, or Brenner out on the field. That isn't the coaches fault, the players fault, the parents fault or the fans fault. It is what it is. We will lose a ton of talent after this season. Absent several kids moving into the district we won't even be a 4-6 team next year. Injuries happen, players get exhausted playing both ways all night, kids quit. Those are realities. We do need out of the OCC...we can't go to the WCAL...we shouldn't play as an independent. Now what? That is for the administration to decide.
One of the most level headed & fair posts I've read in a long time. Sometimes it is what it is. Well said.
No playoffs (even though we technically still have a shot) so everything gets poured into this week. Last hurrah for the seniors.
And as said above..Smuckers bought Tavy's grandmothers home & tore it down. I believe his grandmother passed away over the summer as well. Good for him having success at Wooster. Haven't heard anyone say anything bad about him & Seems like a good kid that's been through a lot lately. His move certainly wasn't because of what our program did or didn't do with his abilities.
