25% is particularly noteworthy when 50% approximately of your population is female. So that means that roughly half the males play football.

Wow!...and just wow...because people have often times said we have an unfair advantage as a "private"...and after 5 years at this this school...I know it's the same kids coming up from pre-K...it's not a football school....it's a take who you got enrolled school. Kudos to the parents. It's an awesome feat. These kids work hard...the academics alone are brutal.

Yes they are. I know both my kids had to work very hard academically at CAK, but they thanked me (and went back and thanked their teachers) when they went to college and grad school and were extremely well prepared. It's a family sacrifice about priorities.

 

And in fairness, we do get some great transfers.....but so do the publics.....

Man...I will tell you what...this isn't the forum to talk about this perhaps...but truer words have never been spoken. It really irks me when people say CAK has an advantage over publics....knowing what I know about the academic rigors...and that these kids have been there there since 4 or 5 yrs old.

 

I'm not even going to mention the 2.8 factor or whatever it is...having to play against schools double our size. I'm just proud to be a part of it....and I'm trying to get the homework done each night. I'm not smarter than a fifth grader.....and I hate it.

    • Looks like South Pittsburg added some more talent!  
    • So much talk about an investigation about student record manipulation and then everything has went silent. Has anyone heard how the investigation is going?
    • 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.
