Plenty of film on these kids. Exposure camps all summer. TSSAA should require post season all star camps to be complete prior to January 1. Any participation after that would make player eneligible for other sports. Probably not a good solution. Just can't stand the brain washing that coaches, trainers, etc do with this kids. If you play only football, go to summer camps, play passing league, go to an all star game you will get a scholarship. To me it just seems like a lot of adults are misleading kids. And steal their teenage years by making promises they can't keep. I have heard too many coaches tell young men. "If you play another sport you will get behind in football. You have to focus on football only if you want a scholarship". Which we know is a lie as the majority of College athletes played multiple sports.

 

Sorry bout a rant from an old man. Just miss the days when the best athletes in school were given the opportunity and joy of playing multiple sports in high school without pushy over zealous coaches pressuring kids to play football only.

I go d this laughable! My experience in 20 years of coaching has been football pressing kids to play only 1 sport was the minority. With AAU Basketball Fall league baseball, football is truly the only sport that doesn't go year round. I am a firm believer that a kid should be allowed to be a kid and play as many sports as they want in high school. An all-star game that lasts a week for most kids that are going to college in that sport anyway is not damaging anyone. If you want to rail against specification might want to look at Basketball and Baseball and how players are told you got to play AAU and summer/Fall league to get exposure so you can get recruited!!

      I have no issues with the Karns Middle School program.   Good coaches and he's with the kids he goes to school with.  He's a rising 6th grader who had to play with 6th grade kids last year because Karns didn't have enough kids for a 5th grade age team.  He's in a good place at this point.   My daughter is a single mom with 4 kids under 11 years old.  We help her out with logistics, so staying in our own area right now is important.  Once he gets to high school age, who knows what happens?  That bridge will be crossed when we get there.

      I know he was a backup but I thought he filled in well when the starter went down. Never a bad thing to have a change of pace back

      That would be a good get for them. Lowe always finds a way. Pretty sure they have their Rb from last year returning but not that line of beef

      One school has said it, it was York…who Oneida and many school that played them before we did claimed that they were the dirtiest bunch they’ve played. Riverside didn’t call us dirty nor did smith after they beat us. Ur only dirty if your the one giving out the whoopins.

      If it was anyone but #8 I would agree with you. Theirs a couple people on that team that probably would. Not him. And I who was standing on the 1st base line fence saw clearly that the boys foot was covering more than half the bag.
