LOL, Brandon had no idea of the can of worms he opened... The Maryville fans are relentless when it comes to supporting their team and GQ. Let this go Brandon, take it from a WB fan you have no hope of winning this one. If you would have had the opportunity to see Friday's game I think you would agree the word cupcake does not apply to WB. It never has in regards to Maryville(yes, I know you never stated that Maryville was a cupcake)it's high school football,it's suppose to be fun just sit back and enjoy it.
I do understand your point about playing the best to be the best. I coached fastpitch softball for years and we went to the exposure and better ASA tournaments so the girls would have a chance at playing in college. We had six go on to play the next level. My daughter chose academics over sports, so she is playing at a DIII school in Virginia having fun and getting a great education.
I guess my point is you play high school ball for bragging rights in your community and region of the state. The ultimate goal is to be state champions.Along the way ,you play good teams and cupcakes (due to regional play) but the bottom line is if your team makes to state (especially year after year) then what does it matter if you are ranked in some meaningless national high school poll. On the other hand ,if your goal is give your child an opportunity at a scholarship in college then go the route you have taken with your daughter. Either way this process should be fun for you and your children.....
