7th grade

[thepolster]

I want to give a shout out to the 7th grade coaches for a very good coached game. I really myself couldn't of called the plays any better from my bleacher seat. Don't think I am going to let you guys off next week. Please don't fix what ain't broke.

Polster,
I understand and appreciate your passion for the game. I also respect your opinions and comments no matter how harsh or supportive. The Staff works very closely with one another and trust each other with decisions made during the week and on game day.

Just keep in mind, all of us that know a lot about the sport, have opinions and ideas about what would be a good call and or bad call. Not all of us will agree 100% of the time. People see different things, different ways at different times. Scheming for game day begins on Monday at practice. Coaches try different things during the week with different players to see what will work, or might work on game day. Things like this sometimes, are what others may not see because they are not as involved with the Practices, as the Coaches. What works one week may not work the next. Throughout our Season, we have had to adjust to the different Defenses and Offenses we have faced. Sometimes you can use your size and strength to over power teams, and other times you need to spread things out to utilize your Speed. Each week/game presents diiferent challenges for Coaches to plan their attack. If you stay with the same ole routine, you are making yourself one dimensional therefore allowing your opponent "key" and load up on that area. As our season has progressed, we have made numerous changes to our game plans, because we have had many players step up and show us things, that were just not there earlier in the Season. Many of our new kids have really just now(over the last 2 -3 weeks) started to firgure out the game and their position. Many of our Players are in positions that they have never played before. We have also had to overcome some injuries this year, as many teams do. When you have injuries to key players playing key positions, your game plan has to change as well. I am proud of our Coaches and Players for a great season this year. We still have one game to go, but overall thus far, we have hung in there tough with every team we have faced. The kids and coaches are learning how to close out games strong. This is something that they need to continue to learn, as it will come in handy over the next 5 years as they reach their HS years.

Oh yeah, one more thing Polster, thank you. :)

[spartan71]

yeah thanks polster and nice analogy Irish87, you hit the nail on the head....

[thepolster]

Are we not working today 71? Your all over the place today. Does anyone know how far the playoffs go?

[SSpartans]

when and where is the next A-team playoff game?

[Irish87]

This is the last week for BYF Playoffs. Springfields Schedule for Saturday is below:

A Team
Springfield vs Manchester at Schrop 3:15
B Team
Springfield vs Chippewa at Chippewa 12:00 Noon
C Team
Springfield C Red vs Revere at Revere 9:00
Springfield C Grey vs Tallmadge at Schrop 12:00 Noon

[thepolster]

Manchesterville is last game? No true playoff elimination?

[SSpartans]

We will be there!! Is this the last game?

[Irish87]

The elimination games were held between the top 4 teams. We tie'd for 4th in the Regular Season, but Green held the tie-breaker.
I believe it is Green vs Revere for the Championship Game for the A Division.

[Irish87]

We will be there!! Is this the last game?

Yes, last game for all Divisions is Saturday. If A Team can win, they will finish with a 5-3 overall Record.

[GRPride86]

Ellet beat Green 28-0 last week

Championship Game is Ellet vs. Hudson for A-Team

[Irish87]

My bad. I heard opposite, but my source isn't the most reliable.
This should be a good game, but Ellet is on a role and I don't see them being stopped by Hudson, unless the weather becomes a factor.

[thepolster]

who served ellet with there only loss so far?:rolleyes:
