Nah, he has ties to a Catholic HS from the same diocese. Al Bundy's portrayer has ties to the HS across town from Stoops'. Incidentally, St. John isn't officially under the umbrella of the Diocese of Youngstown, but it operates with the diocese's blessing.
You had me going on the first sentence; because I always thought the Heralds were their own deal. Now it makes sense.
Many moons ago, St. John (later known as Ss. John and Paul) was part of the Diocese of Youngstown. No idea if the school went off on its own to avoid being closed by the diocese or what, let alone when it happened, but I remember that the school seemed like it was always on the verge of being closed by the DoY. DoY is comprised of: Ashtabula, Trumbull, Mahoning, Columbiana, Portage, and Stark County.
Typical covington, they dont give a chance to the kids who stuck it out, not showing any concern to the tuff kids still there.
Why are you reviving an old thread from last October?
I have 7 varsity letters from that school, sorry if my comment gave you squishy balls
7 letters! Lmao!
Maybe you've never gotten a letter, they dont "give" them to ya....for fun, tell me what i did wrong, and when i insulted someone?
Ive made a huge mistake.
The epitome of cancel culture.
Covington was riddled for years with terrible coaches with long tenure. I agree with you in premise, but over time with no changes it demoralizes the rest.
I'll put this back on the kids, I mean if you have a good leader the rest will follow. You have star players who quit, and the rest will follow. And maybe that's the case, Lord knows kids transfer way too easy these days, so maybe the "good" players see what's up and transfer before high school and you're left with what's left.
Think the key word is "play" in those instances. I think many feel they won't get to play regardless of their ability or attitude. Think "daddy ball" in the instance where the coach's kid could be awful but plays before the talented kid. Not the "daddy ball" where coach is harder on his own kid than others. Some kids realize that there are many other things they can do elsewhere if they do not "play" much at any level.
What context do you feel it is necessary to brag about your varsity letters? At Covington?
2000s too, right? Heck. Just 5-6 years ago?
You must have always had good coaches. At my high school many kids would not play for our coaches, and it was well within reason. My kids were going to transfer ( my idea) to other schools with good coaching when suddenly the school they attended began hiring good coaches, and it was not worth transferring any longer.
