Blaze45 Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 My middle son who played at Blackman is now over at Rockvale as we got caught in the rezoning. He just wasn't passionate about football and with all my own battles I wasn't going to hover over him and push him to do something he didn't love to please me. They have enough peer pressure about crap that doesn't matter to have me compound it by what I want for him, rather than what he wants for himself. But I'LL STILL BE A BLAZE FAN...

That's the right call, B45. Great as HS Football is, it's great because fans, players & coaches share a equal passion for the sport 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully with the addition of a couple more offensive coaches in the off season, the blaze will be a force for years to come! just wish we wouldn't have waited so long to make offensive changes...not sure on that one.

Blackman has problems that go beyond the offense, it's just the most glaring one, protecting their QB is another. Just moving coaches around isn't going to solve the problem. As stated earlier, letting Oliver and Cunningham go elsewhere was a critical mistake. If I was Beam, with a baseball scholarship already in hand, I'd have serious doubts about playing my senior year. Then you got to bring up their feeder programs, which lost big to Oakland at every level to the point where they are competing with Riverdale more than they are competing with Oakland. When you sink the kind of money Blackman has into their program, you can't lose 4-5 games in any season and expect to be there long 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know coach oliver, he was here before we got here, but coach cunningham everyone loved, he did a great job with the lineman....hated to lose him, but understand leaving to be an OC at rockvale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the rub was or why Oliver left other than he got the position he wanted elsewhere. But All of his O-line loved him.. He was in there backside, but they loved him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
