GASP! COUGH! SPUTTER! WHEEZE! THE LIGHTS ARE GETTING DIM. As stated earlier, IHS chokes. Glad you made the playoffs, beat Arlington and saved the Rebel Nation some gas money. We'll be able to afford some new warm camo outfits for the game @ B'wood. I was happy to see that some of your fans chose to stay until the end of the game. Not usually the norm. P.S. Trying to mess up the field! Really! A very pathetic attempt. Get some class and act like you belong in WillCo. That's the kind of stuff we expect from idiots. P.S.S. Until you win somewhere (once would be a start), it's not your house. Morons!

One thing is very impressive about IHS - their ability to completely choke in a big game. You really needed to win the game versus Ravenwood and got spanked. You had Brentwood beat - and choked. Had Oakland on the ropes and choked. While it is true that FHS has not won a championship, neither has IHS. One thing not mentioned is that last year FHS beat BHS in the semis to make it to the championship game (a very good game as well). That was a very BIG game and Franklin got it done. See ya'll Friday night; should be a good one.

In what sport are public schools "prevented" from playing a private school? In what sport is any school prevented from playing another team in-state or out? Come on folks! Lead, follow or get out of the way.

Could not agree more with your post. The advantage of TSSAA sanctioning the sport would be the middle schools adopting the sport, which in turn, would support rec leagues for younger kids. Which would mean more involvement on a lot of different levels. If we are concerned about the growth of the game (I am), it will require more involvement of the public schools ... period. That means the TSSAA will/must be involved. There will need to be some give-and-take. It won't be perfect but it will be a step in the right direction. It's easy to fear what you don't know. Have some faith. It's about the boys and girls - right? I've played and I've coached. I cannot begin to tell you what a thrill it is to do both. I love the sport for the good of the sport. I want as many kids involved as possible. I wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard an adult say "I wish they would have had lacrosse when I was in school." The sport appeals to a different kind of kid. They're athletes - no doubt. Lacrosse opens up another opportunity for these kids to express themselves. Anything that causes a child to engage and participate in a school activity is a very good thing in my opinion. Getting recognition for your accomplishment is affirming. We should all want that for kids. Ultimately, sanctioning will happen. I would like to see it sooner than later. I hope to be part of the solution by actions and deeds; there's too much to gain not to.
