Everyone that says that CA doesn't like to get hit is because they think that they are soft because they're a private school. My son played nose guard for CA and graduated last year so I haven't been to any games this year but Coach Lansdell and his staff will have those boys prepared for every game. The legendary John Wooden once said that he doesn't coach during the game because he has coached in practice all week. The answer for your adjustment argument is execution.

The answer for your adjustment argument is execution.

I agree.  But a spread offense that can't ground and pound when needed is incapable of running time off the clock.  I would argue that CA's offense falls into that category.  I've seen incomplete passes stop the clock too many times from a spread offense that can't get first downs on the ground.

I've heard that ground and pound for 3 years. CA only lost 4 games during that span. It means nothing if you're losing the game. If you complete your short passes, the clock stays running. Ground and pound ending with a punt isn't good is it? CA always has a run game, it was just overshadowed with good quarterback play. Ask Wayne Co. how that ground and pound worked against CA the last 2 years.

Must have worked pretty good

Should I ask NCS too about the vaunted CA offense?

Columbia Academy has a great team. We are all chasing you in the east. However, it's game set match for any of us vs the west.

Since my son graduated last year, I haven't really looked at the brackets. I check out Coach T regularly and follow the teams on Ballfrog that we played against the previous 4 years. I'm not familiar with these new teams, I just had to comment about our style of play. It's working, that's all that I'm saying.

We have already established you have not seen a Columbia Academy game this year.  Have you reviewed stats for CA?  They are more than capable of executing "ground and pound" offense.  They are a much more balanced offense.

    • I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf  
    • The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..  
    • I think they have they coach they want close to being done. I guess we will all see how this plays out. I hope the hire a good one. There are some players in the box for the next coach to work with. 
    • Going to grundle Troy Fleming?
    • I agree I don't think it will go to trial either, but I feel like that will be because no judge would deem this to warrant a law suit... If the school board settles, they loose and all coaches and schools loose too.
