I'm the first baseman for ccs... good job fellas, even though I wish we had been there. Way to represent the "weak pool."

Just to stick up for the CCS centerfielder... He has a great arm.

CCS won 15-0.

You really bother me bushleague. Not because we disagree, but simply because you won't even give ccs an ounce of credit. You seem to continually forget the fact that until this year, we hadn't won a district championship in 16 years, and had never won a region, sectional, or state tournament game. You'd think that with such a huge pool to draw from (one including the chattanooga area and north georgia) that we might have more of those nice things to put on the accomplishment list. For crying out loud, if you've got a problem, good for you, but maybe you're wrong in this area, relating to ccs. We don't talk trash, we play. It just feels so warm and fuzzy inside when you work so hard and finally go far, and the only person that has congratulating words just sits there and whines about how you should be playing schools that recruit, because of your "pool of selection." BOO HOO... WAAAAA WAAAAAA WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...... Find a new topic that requires tissues and a shoulder, because this one's getting a little overworked and I think I need to go open a new box of kleenex. If you want, feel free to keep the rebuttal to yourself. Although I'm sure you won't, and you'll take what I previously said personally. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

yet again, you're acting as if money produces talent. I agree, that we have a larger "pool" to draw from, but we also have a small number of students at the school to begin with. We try to stay small, therefore, it sort of defeats the purpose. You say we got on here and talked trash? Show me one post where a ccs player talked trash, or bragged about how they won. You're grouping people into stereotypes that don't even work, like "all ccs and boyd players got on here and talked trash." that may not be exactly what you said, but that's what you were implying. Boyd did that, we didn't. We talked on the field, and that's it. Also, you say it's not quality, but quantity. So you're automatically assuming that, simply because we're a private school, that the few players that did come out were going to be of good quality. Yet another "ignorant assumption" as you would call it. We worked, and made ourselves good. You know, like I said in an earlier post, I agree that private schools do have advantages, and summer ball definitely is one. This doesn't mean that public school players can't try out, or make their own team. Raising money is something that is quite possible among people, and that's something I've learned. Maybe a lot of those players just don't want to really try that hard to do so, so their excuse is that they're a public school player and they don't have a chance. None of this really bothers me, except for you talking about what we say. Yet again, I tell you, we haven't talked trash on here. We didn't, and we won't. Who said we feel so good about beating up on "community schools?" The simple fact of the matter is, our team plays with an equal level of competition in it's district, region, sectional, and state. We seldom beat schools badly that were in our same district, region, and so on. Look at those scores. Just look at our district scores, and then tell me that the level of competition isn't equal. You'll probably use scores like the ones against south pittsburg, who just lost a bunch of upper classmen a couple years earlier. Or Basin maybe. Lastly, let me reiterate this- maybe you should give credit, in certain cases, where credit is due, instead of downplaying our success simply because we worked hard. You still can't just say "good job, well done on a good season." You just continually bad mouth us like we're a major league team playing a single a minor league team. Give me a break, find something new to complain about.

just stop talking about it, it's pointless.
