Good read. It’s interesting to see what the coaches had to say. They definitely have a recipe for success out there. I don’t think a lot of people realize just how good that conference is and how long it has been. It’s truly a remarkable feat. I wonder if there is another conference in the country that has ever had 3 of its teams playing for state titles? My guess would be no...and did all 3 teams win that year? Wouldn’t surprise me
I agree, not near as many farm boys as 30 or 40 years ago; but what I think you still have is the ‘farm’ mentality. Hard work, up early, pride in what you do, help your neighbor, etc. This is because parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles were farmers and that behavior doesn’t just go away, and it is passed down generationally in this area. My son played multiple sports throughout school, worked and was on the honor roll, and he wasn’t an exception.
Exactly. If you want any thing in life, you have to work for it. Too many kids and adults expect every thing to be given to them. When I was younger, paying jobs were scarce, now many places are begging for workers.
wow... how old is the church...
that was the story with those boys too......
The MAC has had the trifecta once, and failed a couple times and only took home two.
2 weeks ago.
13 days. The question is, did the DSJ player(s) have Covid-19 during that game? My Cubs had 3 starters held out after contact with a C-19 positive player from Lexington. If everyone is being tested, I'm sure the Flyers will be fine, but you never know.
I am sure you are hoping the Flyers will be kicked out of the playoffs by RINO Mike. Keep rooting. Plus as many people who have had the bat virus in Southern Mercer county, I am sure ML football team has herd immunity by now.
And there it is! I knew that was coming. SMH. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Good Lord. Really? You really think I want HS kids to get Covid? Also, screw DeWHINE, I am no fan of his.
Wapak thought they had a real good chance of beating a soft Badin team.
I am sure many have had it already.
Whatever. SMH. What the hell is wrong with you?
He is right.
Come on, dnis30. You know he has a good point. We absolutely do not know how many have already with asymptomatic symptoms and never knew it.
I am just stating what is probably a fact. If you have not noticed Mercer County has been no.1 in covid all summer, so I would say many High Schoolers in Southern Mercer Co. already have been exposed to Covid. Plus I am not the one pointing that ML played DSJ 2 weeks ago and you correlate that with several cubbies being quarantined for 2 weeks, sounds like sour grapes. Plus IMO covid is no big deal esp. to H.S. kids. or to 99.1 % of the pop.
DSJ was already low on numbers starting with 32 players, with injuries who knows what their roster is like.
We're #1.
Student? Might have been the word you were looking for, but you accidentally used a synonym.
Totally agree. Nobody wants to be "given" a playoff game, these are games you want to earn.
Agreed. It was a cheap shot.
I'm pretty sure I know the kid you're talking about. He got injured in the first half of the ML-Minster game on Sep 24 and I believe has seen significantly fewer snaps on offense since. So maybe that's why he had limited touches in the second game you watched.
