I know they changed the format for regular season games this year. I would like to know what some opinions are on this type of schedule. I guess a prolonged rainy period would force teams to really stack up their late season schedule no matter what format was used.

To LCHSTUDENT: As far as I can see, no one is saying that Franklin County is the greatest team in the world or the district. You say that "any team that played decent could have won the Loretto tournament". I guess the Rebels played decent for 7 straight games and won it. Now they have won 10 games in a row. That doesn't make them the best team around, but it does give the kids on the team some good feelings early in the season. I am sure that they are really fired up to get to the field for practice and games. That is definitely good for the program. Everyone knows that the district schedule is the beginning of the "real season", so we will soon find out how good the Rebels are.

Let me get this straight. All the players said you were good, so you must be good. Also, you are a high school kid from Winchester who thinks an adult coach needs psychiatric help. Remember when young people respected adults. Nowadays, if you don't make the team - the coach is nuts. It is always someone else's fault. Nobody takes responsibility anymore. It seems to me that 28-30 kids get along great with their coach and the knuckleheads that quit or got cut don't like him. That's not a shocker.

It is absolutely no fun at all to make it to the Region tournament and finish at the top of the standings in district play. If I was a Raider, I would be delighted to not have to worry about that anymore.

I think all three of the cheerleader/baseball players quit. I heard they were going to have to miss part of the baseball season anyway, in order to attend cheerleading camp.

Considering the fact that I haven't been to a high school baseball game in 3 years, I think you must have me confused for someone else. As for Coffee County - If you are proud of the fact that one of the Raider coaches TP someone's yard on the same night that the team got their butt chapped by a small school on homecoming, then good for you. Maybe the "get back" coach's rich daddy will fill up his truck with gas and buy him some more toilet paper, so he can smash pumpkins and TP some more yards tonight. I hope he gets home before his daddy's curfew.

I am speculating that any coach who would wasted his time after a Homecoming debacle rolling yards must have a meaningless job on the sidelines, such as being the "get back" coach. It must be some young guy without much going on. He probably still lives at home with his parents.

Would either of these two gentlemen come back to Manchester to try to resurrect this struggling program? If so, it sounds like a good housecleaning would need to take place. I know that I wouldn't want any of my coaches to be "rolling yards" after losing a homecoming game that badly. Maybe the "get back" coach thought he did a good job of "keeping them back" and didn't need to waste time thinking about the pitiful performance on the field.

Does anyone know who the TP coach is? I bet he has an important job like being the "get back" coach or something like that. Isn't there a coach at Oakland who has ties to the Coffee County position? [Edited by DirtyDog on 10-31-02 11:45A]

Is it true that the Rebels only threw 1 pass all night? Sounds like the Red Raiders got manhandled up front. Was it a case of men versus boys?

I never thought Warren County football would make it into Sports Illustrated, but they have. The unfortunate thing is they are in the Blotter section and it has nothing to do with playing football. I always thought that Jeff Womack being in Faces In The Crowd would be the only time the Pioneers would be mentioned in SI.
