I noticed Tim didn't say who they lost to.

"You'll get 'em next year."

 

Love it.

Wow the EHS football team finally won some kind of championship.

Real cool. Considering it is their third year as a FULL varsity team.

I am not condoning the shot taken at EHS earlier in this thread.

 

With that said, the "youth" of Ensworth's football program is no longer an excuse. It wasn't much of an excuse even in 2007 (when Ricky chalked up MBA's 14-0 win - hardly a dominating win - to the fact "they've played 1,000 games; we've played six"), when EHS went 9-3, losing to a 13-0 state champion MBA team, an 11-2 state runner-up BA team, and a 9-3 Father Ryan team. Ensworth was a one-loss state championship game contender in 2008 (although nobody was beating MUS last year) and was a one-loss state championship game contender this year.

 

Ensworth is a new school, but the football program (not to mention the basketball program) is not your typical three-year-old program. Ensworth's youth as a program was never a game-changing issue going into any of its games this year. It shouldn't be an issue after the games either.

Yeah, I fully agree with you. The youth of the team isn't an excuse anymore nor is it a problem, however I was referring to the amount of seasons. For example the two DII teams with the most championships, MBA and BA, average 1 championship for about every six years?? Correct me if I'm wrong. I meant it in the way that Ensworth will eventually get one, but that they have had only three opportunities to do so. If they don't get one in the next 5-10 years, then people can start making comments about it. We agree, just on two different interpretations of an easily misunderstood comment.
