Polster , thank you for your welcome , it is much appreciated. We have already visited your site , we wish you the best of luck , but are not interested in a league that stops at 7th grade as we do not have a middle school program. I'm sure you'll understand , but , thank you.
Can we get our middle school funded? Do we have coaches? How about volunteers like Springfield.
We could probably get it funded , but it does not make sense for our youth program. Currently our youth program is known statewide (especially in our division) , as one of the best in the state. This stems from the fact that our youth are taught the same basic offense and defense from the age of 7 until they go to the high school. The problem with both middle school and the new Buckeye youth football conference for us is two-fold , it is both a numbers issue and a quality issue. First , I'll explain the latter , in middle school football they basically play 6 or 7 games and they play for nothing , which is completely worthless , in my opinion. Not only that , but they don't even have kickoffs:shrug: this is hardly a good option compared to what we currently have. Secondly , I'll explain the numbers issue by giving an example from last year. If we had been in the BYF and had a middle school program last year this would have been the scenario; Since BYF ends with the seventh grade there would not have physically been enough kids for the middle school program. Our 8th grade had a total of 19 boys in it. Out of those 19 , last year , 7 were on the youth varsity (1 quit) , 2 were too old for SYF and 1 was overweight (although he had not played youth in years not due to weight). This would have given a middle school team a total of about 10 players , maybe 11 if someone decided to come out unexpectidley. as far as the BYF goes, at Mogadore , I cannot remember a year were we had more than 1 or at the max 2 that were overweight and could not play. For this reason, as well as our high school coach's desire , we will stay with our system as it currently is.Can we get our middle school funded? Do we have coaches? How about volunteers like Springfield.
I understand you have that problem now.Get ready for the barage of "sales calls" from the BYF supporters.
I agree with your explanation and agree whole heartedly. Some people have such personal issues with Suburban Youth, that they forget all the good things it has done for the children. Its kinda like "I don't like my sons coach, so I'm gonna pull him off the team". Some of the weight limits are out dated and the Board is looking to make some major changes.
This is why we are a D6 school. Our mentality has to change.
"This is why we are a D6 school. Our mentality has to change."
It is what it is. Our town is approximately 3 square miles in size. You can't squeeze more people in it . Besides , what is the shame in being a D6 school? Especially when our program is known across the state for it's success? We compete with schools that are the same size as us , just like every D1 through D5 school does. Before the PTC was put in to effect , we played hardly any schools that were D6 , Crestwood , for example , was D2 and we beat them plenty. Our "mentality" as you call it , has been excellence , and will stay that way I hope for the foreseeable future.
Does anyone know if the youth is making any changes? I see allot of ideas but I dont know who is in charge and who to believe.
Good news, wildcats are meeting with BYF officials.
Shut out? Mogadore had one good drive. Mogadore coaches know who controled the game. Points do matter though, and spartans had three fizzled out drives going in the zone.
Hey polster is the sky still blue in your make believe world? Mogadore coaches do know who controlled this game from start to finish, MOGADORE, we moved the ball effortlessly on Springfield, our mistakes are the only thing that stopped us, Springfield had absolutely no offense or defense against us period, your comments make you look like a clown on these boards
