I was checking on both club websites and this is pretty funny. K2 has 2 elite teams for their 18U team and KVA has several double red teams. Parents..Parents...Parents. Don't you understand what is going on here? There is no way both red teams are equal in any age bracket and there's no way the 2 18U elite teams are the same. The one thing that is true though is that all Red teams and all Elite teams at each club are paying the highest price. Parents, you bought into that? Thought you we're smarter than that. I can say one thing about PR. They never tried to take money from their parents. A 2 teams a 2 team is a 2 team all day long. KVA parents , your white team (although they call them red) are paying red team prices. K2 your #2 18U team is paying elite team prices

Vblife99   You are now almost as bad as ORCAT. Read how stupid ORCAT's post. That's how your last post sounded. I thought you knew what you were talking about until this last post.   K2 has many p

I can speek for myself.  Chris an Jay have been nothing but great to my daughter and my family.  I know some of the parents did not like the idea of closed practices but i understand why they did it.

The "2" teams decided to play a "1" team type of schedule so they pay accordingly. If you will notice on each team, the cost is determined by how many and which tournaments they go to. The team decided that. If a club had 4 teams that thought they were good enough to play the hardest schedule, they should be able to do it.

 

The wilderness tournament is not real tough.There are a few teams that are worth playing, but most of the weekend is spent dominating until the end.

Club...I know that the price doesn't include travel, but the price of the K2 travel for the girls isn't near what it would be for a family to travel. That's what makes it even.

 

The 2 teams at K2 still go to the same tournaments no matter if they are called 2 or elite. K2 has one age group with 2 Elite other than that every group is elite and then 2.

 

The k2 elite should play the KVA Red at the first MEPL. Hopefully!!! Keep your fingers crossed!!! Too bad they don't go to the Wilderness. Kinda stranged why they aren't, but pretty obvious.

The problem with having to pay the extra travel expense for the player is, because the parents have to also pay to travel.  So if the parents go to every tournament, like most do, then they are paying for 1 1/4 of hotel rooms instead of 1 hotel room.  And paying for 2 vehicles to travel their family there instead of just 1.  I dont have a problem with it if the parents are ok with it.  But it is much more expensive than KVA.  If the parents dont travel to the tournament, then yes, it is less expensive than what it would cost for a family to travel.  One of the many reasons most of us parents wanted something different is because of this.  We felt like K2 was taking the "family" out of it.  We want to work as a family through the season, be able to experience the joys, comfort the disappointments, and be a family.  Not just drop our child off on Friday and hope everything goes alright until Sunday night.

 

Last year, the elite teams went to the MEP and a few different tournament than the 2 teams.  The schedules were quite different. Maybe it is different this year, but I doubt it.

 

The elite tournament at the wilderness is pretty good but the regular tournament is more like a PR tourny.

 

Why has Pheonix Rising never went to the wilderness?

KVA isn't going to Wilderness Elite this year because MEP is the same weekend.

K2 is choosing to skip one of the MEP weekends to play in their own tournament.

 

KVA 16Red #2 team did ask to play the tougher schedule so the cost goes up.

 

K2 18Red #2 team is made up of all the 18 year olds that have never been a high priority. They made them Elite to try and make them happy (didn't totally work) but PhillyA is right they would've played the same tournament schedule as the Elite team anyway even if they were named a 2 team, just wouldn't have been required to pay the extra player only travel fee. But now that they are Elite titled they will have to pay extra. Most on the 18 Elite #1 team are 17year olds.

Well, feb 1st weekend is a wilderness tournament too. So KVA could have sent their teams to that. Like Knoxdoyles says though "they would rather send their young teams to Nashville Alliance tournament than give K2 any money".

 

I thought KVA was started through love not hatred towards your fellow man. It wasn't that coach Dave hated K2 was it? That's not what he has been preaching. Knoxdoyles, you tell the truth. Now that's what it's all about. Don't hide behind behind any other reasons. Just tell the truth. You're respected more when you tell the truth more than when you don't.

 

I'm not saying KVA is wrong for not going to any of the wilderness tournaments. I would do the same thing. The difference is, I (like you knoxdoyles) would tell the truth from the beginning. We all know why KVA was started (which is fine) but don't hide behind the "Godly" reason when the reason isn't "Godly" at all.

 

Thanks KD (knoxdoyles) for telling it like it really is. No hard feelings, you're just telling the truth and I respect that.

      Good ole Bradley Zulliger. He was a really good QB @ OR. Fun to watch.  Wore #15 and was like a mini Tebow, with the exception of being right handed. He could take a pounding and keep on ticking. Played with a collapsed lung against Powell that year. Tough as nails.

      2024 5A Season

      By oridgecat · Posted

      They should be pretty good in year two for Rang.  Replacing most of the offensive production losing Dozier, Hayward and Rembert , but they're are skill kids in place ready for their shot.  I know I say this every year, but the o line should show improvement after two years in Rang and Kevin Day's weight program.  I still would favor West over Plow and OR come November.  The Rebs will have to grow up a bunch between now and then, and will probably take some lumps along the way with that schedule.  But I predict come playoff time they will be ready.   One of their coaches half joked to me that they could go 5-5 regular season and win the state championship.  Ha ha.

      Dyersburg may win back to back to back championships. They are going to be hands down the best 3A team. Plus their District/region/sectionals are not very good. They basically just have to make it to region out of a 5 team district that has a few decent teams. South Gibson will be okay but they graduate their best player and there is nobody in the region 7 or region 8 who is going to compete with them.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      By BarneySox2007 · Posted

      I remember very well watching things change in the late 80's and yes it's all schools. Most people that are in charge today have any idea because they were raised and taught under this social experiment so they don't have a clue. Anyone that does see the truth for what it is usually try and hide it by blending in so that the School Gestapo doesn't round them up and take them to the Fuhrer ( kindly putting it ). Yes it is all schools not just Maryville. This train ride is not headed in a good direction and if the public had seen a movie of what's happening now back in 1980 everyone would have been headed home afterwards to change underware.
