Ask Dickie S. why he got a call from the Fulton AD this summer and why he decided not to hire the athlete's mother after the call. This one is factual. Don't think that coaches don't share all the stories. In the end it does not matter what proof is presented. The fact is that area schools want nothing to do with Catholic in the future. You should have gone Division II like your ex-buddies at Webb! You are like two high school kids who just broke up and try to make the other look bad on social media.

No hate here. Just trying to add some info that has not been presented. Most area coaches feel like Catholic should move to Division II. If they won't move, they simply won't play them. If this is not true, then Catholic will have no problem finding football games. Then, we'll see if area schools are going to play them in other sports after this year.

Perhaps Coach Meske replied to a text from Coach Matthews who had texted him earlier about playing the next two years -- just like the other area coaches who received texts from Matthews. Most coaches converse via text. The AD's rarely get involved in the scheduling. Most all area coaches that Coach Matthews texted turned him down via text. This is also how most local media contact coaches. It is acceptable these days to respond by text as well. Makes sense for most coaches to respond by text or email so they can't be misquoted. It is clear Catholic officials thought they could embarrass the Webb administration by reporting this to the media. They even called Second Harvest to complain about Webb not scheduling games. I just bet Webb will still donate money and food to help the needy even if it never plays Catholic in another game. If this was only a Webb issue Catholic would have no problem finding games. They can't find a team in the area to play them. Figure that one out. Maybe it has nothing to do with supposed recruiting. Perhaps it has to do with Catholic coaches and fans being so unsportsmanlike. Why else would Alcoa not want to play them? Sure isn't because Alcoa is scared to compete. Check on the number of locker rooms that Catholic players have been trashed after losses. Check on the trash talking this past week about Fulton parents. Check on the relationship the Catholic basketball coach has with other area coaches. Most coaches can't stand his unsportsmanlike behavior. Perhaps it has to do with Catholic administrators trying to offer jobs to parents of ninth grade football players. Or maybe it has to do with Catholic disregarding the rules and playing in two jamborees in August even though they knew it was illegal. These are just a few of the reasons local coaches are giving for not wanting anything to do with Catholic.
