Then is the issue the Athletic Director. Yes??????? No???????
I do not know?????? I do not think so.
That would be who is at the top of that food chain.
I believe Coach Anderson has not lied to me when I have asked him questions. He looked me in the eye as a man should and DID not tell me "just what I wanted to hear".
If you are PO'ed that your kid or family member is not playing, GET OVER IT.
Ask the coaches what the team member needs to do to get better so they can get playing time.
We have 5 or 6 players who MAY become D1 level players at some point. BUT the players must do the EXTRA workouts to get to that level and not just what is "required" of them to do by the coaching staff.
My son, who does not play on Friday, went to 2 one-week long football camps over the summer. He also did extra training at D1 Sports Training in west Knoxville for 2 hours a day, each week day for over 6 weeks before football camp started on July 19th, which included training during the "dead period" so he could get better. All of this while also doing the morning workouts at the High School as "required". Some days he was doing 3 workouts per day so he could get bigger, stronger and faster. Which he has.
So from my perspective, if you have a problem with your child or family member not playing on Friday nights, GET OVER IT. Be an adult, ask the simple question to the coaching staff. Get behind the TEAM. Go buy a Cowbell and support this team. They deserve it!!!!!!
GO PATRIOTS!!!
More Cowbell is coming!!!! Fear the Cowbell!!!!
I totally agree, if someone is not getting playing time it is either because the person in front is better or that person did not work hard enough in the off-season. I played football at jeff co and i had to work my butt off to get my starting position. yes that meant i had to push myself, i had to go past the recommended requirements of highschool football and do things my body didnt want to do to get better. And what is this whole deal with bad mouthing individual players on the team!!! these boys worked all summer for the ultimate goal of winning the state championship and none of these players are perfect but they dont deserve to be pointed out for making mistakes playing the game. Goins is a player and he is doing awesome and thats for the whole team as well, maybe if they had fans who didnt bad mouth the team on here cuz their boy/loved one isnt playing then maybe our boys could play better. It means so much as a player to hear your fans cheer you on ESPECIALLY if your behind in a game. I got out of college football practice early and thought i would come watch my boys play and i was surprised to see that when we fell behind a little that most of our fans got quiet. WHERE IS YOUR PRIDE??? it meant so much as a player to hear fans cheerin us on even if we were behind but our boys didnt get much of that. There was a few PROUD patriot fans who i heard stay strong and try keep our team up whether if it was with a cowbell or their voices (thank you, those men and women who dont weary and support our patriot boys in the thick and thin) and if ur a patriot player now please read this: i believe no matter how big, fast, or strong you are you can accomplish any goal you set, if you PUSH yourself to the point that your body wants to break and your mind is telling you stop and you push harder after that...well that is an act of a champion...that is a PATRIOT! put the losses behind you and go forward...push yourself like never before the rest of the season but no matter what you boys will always have fans (and by that i dont mean jealous mommys and daddys who get upset and talk about people) I mean TRUE RED, WHITE, and BLUE PATRIOT fans who will be behind you no matter what...GO PATRIOTS!!!
