I call it like I see it. I know a lot of sophomore parents who see it the same way.

 

 

I understand your point, and this isn't directed at you, but honestly though, who cares what the sophomore parents think? Parents always think their kids should play more, regardless of the score, the opponent, or the situation. Maybe they should realize that their kids might not be good enough, or might not work hard enough, to earn a lot of playing time. And maybe they should follow the examples of their kids, and put the team's success over their own ego (obviously not all kids feel this way, but I know that a lot do, and they all certainly should).

Well there are also juniors and seniors on the team that don't get playing time until the game is out of reach for the other team. I understand that parents want their kids to play but there are a lot of kids on a football team and upperclassmen should get to their chance play first.

Maybe--and maybe the coach's ego should not take precedence over the well-being of the kids who work thru summer camp and show up every day for practice and then don't get to see the field even when the team is up by 40.

 

It is my feeling--and only a feeling, I want to add--that the coaching staff is more worried about how the score will look in tomorrow's Tennessean than how the game benefitted their kids.

Sounds like you are not very fond of Ricky Bowers. I truly believe the Ensworth coaching staff couldn't care less about how there stats look in the paper. You do not need to attack a team at this level. Why do you dislike Ensworth so much?

You are welcome to your opinion. As you can see, I have mine.

 

I have no axe to grind. You seem awfully defensive.

I seriously doubt Ricky Bowers gives a crap what his stats look like in the paper. I'd say he wasn't too happy with it being a one score game into the third quarter. Doesn't sound like he did anything untoward with playing his guys too much.

Not the stats, the score.

like I wrote before, it's just downright amazing that EHS has this sort of depth in its second year of varsity football. I can't imagine another private school with so few students already having the wherewithal to "rest starters for the play-offs" and "get some younger guys some playing time," etc. I remember "back in the day" playing against the Ensworth Middle School team....They might have had 20-25 guys out for the team. And maybe half that number or less were legit players. Back then they really didn't seem to care that much about sports. But they certainly do now.
