A ranking in the 7th grade is about as useless as a screen door on a submarine. The only thing those lists are good for is screwing up a kid's head. The last thing you want as a parent or a coach is for a kid to think he "has arrived" in middle school. All it does is put a bunch of sharks in the water to start harrassing these kids and get them thinking about all the wrong things.

these players have put in the work to be ranked with others their age.  The challenge becomes when the 6ft, 7th grader does not grow another inch.  Now as a high school player, they go from being the tallest and most talented on the court to being just another good player.

 

this is why any basketball player should work on ball handling and mid-range shooting more than working on post moves or 3-pt shooting.  the same saying goes today as it was years ago....  15ft jumper is worth 15 million dollars

      So much talk about an investigation about student record manipulation and then everything has went silent. Has anyone heard how the investigation is going?

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      Basically what you're saying is schools can basically bully students around and get away with it because they are protected. I agree to a certain extent but when schools decisions to keep knuckleheads on staff starts costing kids careers and a college education there is a problem. Our school system last week had a teacher supposedly push a kid and the parents went to the law and the teacher is suspended. So I wouldn't say that they can just do what they want without liability. This case don't pass the smell test because the coach had already been fired before and she got fired after a year on the job. Sounds like the student was right in this case on the outside looking in because the coach gets fired after one year. How many coaches get fired after one year?? Not many.

      Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen.

      I know the RB from OR he’s fast and has good hands. Is good on special teams also. Didn’t want to play defense over to the Ridge.
