COVID19 under Trump Presidency: 

US cases: 1,329....Deaths 40. 

Panic Level: Mass hysteria 

 

H1N1 under Obama Presidency:

US cases: 60,800,000 cases. Deaths 12,000+

Panic Level: Totally Chill

Do you see how the media can manipulate your life?

 

OnB furnished info....And it's CORRECT 

 

 

 

I like math...with your CORRECT numbers

COVID-19

40/1,329*100 = 3.010% death rate

H1N1

Let's use 18,000 deaths, since you did say "12,000+"

18,000/60,800,000*100 = 0.030% death rate

That's 100x greater death rate.. I don't know the "chill" to "hysteria" ratio..

So to answer rlh there were 8 or 9 girls games this included hosting district, region, and substate, The boys are just ramping up the team so I think they played 2 - 3 home games. I have heard "wear and tear" as a reason, however the practice field, which I believe is the same grass seems to not have an issue with wear, and it has 3-4 practices per week, plus the soccer games. So I think the actual field could handle 6 football games and soccer.

Fiberoptic.. I don't know if there is space for a soccer field, without purchasing land. As for the title 9 question, maybe a field is required and the football field use was an interim accommodation, I don't know. But I think there is space within the fence, when you consider sideline area, to accommodate the soccer size.

And with that, I have nothing else to add to this conversation. I look forward to supporting the football team with whoever the new coach is, just like I have for the past 19 years. When an announcement is made, I look forward to a discussion regarding the selection.

I think some money has been raised toward a soccer field. But if you know anything about the condition of some of the Polk County schools, it doesn't really make sense for the balance of any money needed to be put toward a new sports facility when there is a perfectly acceptable option already in place that meets the title 9 requirements. And there is no reason to not use the football field, it hurts no one! Well, almost no one.

There nothing but pride for the soccer team an their accomplishment. It’s the parents that want everything for nothing and have the administrations “ear” that are frustrating. This thread has nothing to do with Coach Davis resigning he’s is a good coach always will be as well as his father. Both have done more for PCHS that anyone involved in this bantering. Enough said

"want everything for nothing"... ? I think the soccer parents probably  pay taxes that support that high school and it's facilities, just like the football parents. derrick davis doesn't own that field. And why wouldn't you want each student athlete to have the best available, whether its equipment, facilities, etc. Why?

Definitely not school won't pay anything and anyone from the outside won't want to deal with the dumpster fire of central office

As the OC, Brewer has had a front row seat to this so called "dumpster fire" of central office meddling, corruption, favoritism, etc...

Would he want the job?

I have wondered who Charlie’s identity was. Thanks for clearing that up for us all. I can assure you he has said none of this garbage to Derrick Davis’ face. That would take guts. Something he obviously lacks. Charlie, it would be a shame if we start discussing your family history on this thread. You have enough issues of your own. Don’t throw rocks when you live in a glass house.

 

By the way, I’m surprised they let you into the stadium still, after all the times you have been kicked out of it. Hope you can sort some of your anger issues out so that you can attend all of the sporting events in 2019. Peace out!

That's funny!

I do know that Culpepper man, I'm sure he would appreciate being mentioned on here.

Here you go people. A guy that truly doesn’t get it. Head coaches across the country miss things with their family and friends to pour into the young men on their team. That’s what makes them so special and unique. If I recall, all these soccer event took place right at the end of football season, while Coach Davis probably was preparing his team for district games and a playoff game. That doesn’t make him “sorry”. A sorry man is one that hides behind a keyboard and bashes a man’s character on a day that the rest of the community is celebrating the end of his era with their program. “Losers assemble in small groups and complain about others”. So you and your group keep “dealing in reality” (LOL) while the rest of the community sits around and laughs and waits to see what idiotic thing you complain about next.

I like your quote.. “Losers assemble in small groups and complain about others”, I think that fits Davis and his little group of cronies very accurately.

I also find yours and a few others attitudes interesting. Why do you feel the need to degrade the soccer team at every opportunity? Why would you find pleasure in other teenage student athletes lack of success or lack of attendance? The football team is 13-39 in the past 5 years, I'm not bashing them! I bought my ticket for every one of those 52 games, and cheered for those young men. I am bashing the former head coaches character, or lack of. 

Thank you for pointing out that I don't get it, because I don't, and I'm proud that I don't get the fact that a man is so busy preparing for a high school football game, that he can't spend 90 minutes, at least once, to support his own child. But we all know it wasn't because he was so, so busy! It's because he is a petty little man. Everyone knows he was against the soccer teams using the football field. It is quite a coincidence that he quit less than 3 months after that decision was made and that the reason mentioned on here and other media was the administration "meddling". So, give us some examples of that meddling... or just own it! He didn't want soccer on the football field, the school board said there would be, and he quit, just like he threatened to do back when the discussion started 2 or 3 years ago,

And blaster, you mention hurt feelings, I mean, come on man.. your hero is the one that is taking his ball and going home because he didn't get his way!

I haven't said anything on here that I wouldn't say to his face, or... that I haven't already said to his face.

You are correct, following my posts will not be of any interest to you, because I deal in reality. I guess he got "past the issue with the soccer team" after the season, since he never attended a game. Not district championship, not region championship, not sub state game, not at state semi finals. ..and for those folks that aren't aware, his daughter plays on the soccer team.

that's a pretty sorry man in my book

Cleveland has a HC position open.

Does anyone know where their soccer teams play their home games?

Bye!

Go Polk!

I have seen some of Meigs games online and when I watch them I see Westmoreland with a good QB. I don't see a lot of speed from the RB or WR. 

That is a spot on evaluation! Exactly this.

Charlie's 2 cents, for comparison, after seeing both Meigs and Westmoreland at Polk, I saw two fairly even teams. I would say Meigs is a TD better, than Westmoreland. So draw your own conclusion.

Is number 10 for Polk going to be a returning guy? Reason I ask is, he come up all night long to hit 44 and was drilled play after play and continued to come back... props to that kid for sure

10 is Levin,.... Levin Harz, I believe he will be back.

Good luck to Westmoreland, that's a good ball team. #44 is probably the best RB I saw this season. And utilized very well by the coaches. 

It was a good season for Polk, these seniors should be proud, they helped get Polk back to a competitive level. The team played hard last night. The play calling was predictable, as is every Polk game. Now I'm not a football coach, so I am as qualified as most of DD's assistants, but maybe atleast try to develop a passing game!

The crowd was embarrassingly small. For the first home playoff game in 5 years?, it was sad. Maybe the cold weather kept some away, or the 8$ ticket, who knows, but it was probably one of the smaller crowds I've seen at the LG Davis Sports Complex in the past few weeks.

Good luck to all round two teams and for the rest, good luck in round ball.

Charlie Murphy... haven’t seen you on here in awhile. You did a good job getting those boys ready to play Marion last night.  Good job!

I take no credit for that! I'm just a PCHS sports supporter. I hope these boys can make a good showing next Friday in round one. 

And maybe the fans can have a better showing too, Jasper had as many fans as we did. It was a little embarrassing. That was with the folks that came for the recognition of seniors and the other successful Fall sports teams. 

Maybe the football fans will turn it up a notch with a home playoff game. Maybe catch the fever!

If Marion’s QB played would Marion have won? 

Who knows? Polk had atleast 3 senior starters in street clothes due to injury (it was senior night), so if they were healthy would Polk have beat Jasper worse?

Class A Semifinals

Alcoa vs Signal Mt.

Polk Co. vs Merrol Hyde

Thoughts, predictions?

Hoping for a Marion win from Westmoreland... only because its a 3 to 4 hour trip to Polk lol

The drive is worth it for the mountain view alone, but then throw in the food from the Wildcat Cafe, and it really is a destination location!  

Polk played Meigs tough, but the turnovers did them in!

I think the Wildcats should beat Marion this Friday night and secure a home playoff game.

Sweet? I kind of thought it was embarrassing. When you offer free admission, free food, and basically beg people to come; and you still can’t turn out more people for a postseason game than a junior varsity football game. That’s sad truly. As far as internal issues? That surely didn’t show last night, and I haven’t heard any of that. I think your group would like to think you have caused issues, but your group is too irrelevant for that to happen. But that’s none of my business. Great job by Coach Davis and staff last night. 

Here you go sports fans, this is a perfect example of one of coach Davis' little tag-along boys. Running down one of Polks other sports programs. Celebrating that there is a small crowd. Instead of celebrating success. And thinks it is embarrrasing that the school board voted to allow the soccer teams to play on the football field.

And trust me, this is the attitude of the head coach and all his little worthless side kicks. For this bunch there is no PCHS spirit, it is just PCHS football spirit.

I think it was great myself. But coach hates the idea if sharing his field. Some kids on the team feel they are being retaliated against due to the outcome. No one questions his coaching ability. We all know he can coach. No one would want to lose him

Nailed it! 

Go Polk!

See y'all at the game!

Over the years I have come to respect Coach Davis as a coach and a person.
