It would be fun to see a two year contract home/away between Copper Basin and Lake County.  Seven hours of travel inside State borders to get to the game.  Seven more hours home.  One full day for an away game.  It would be a fun memory for the teams.

When Copper Pan was competitive it would be.  14 to 18 hours for a beat down is a long way.

You’re joking right? Lake County is a good team and props to them but this year consists of the worst copper basin fooseball team ever and as of now the future isn’t looking bright unless multiple big changes happen. Maybe in a few years sure but also maybe never.

I thought about that and you make a great point. Lake County has a strong program.  The counter that I thought would justify a likely mismatch is that Copper Basin has struggled to get wins.  What difference does it make if they take a loss to a great team from LC?  

I have a soft spot for Copper Basin.  Fayetteville played them a few years back in the first round. The CB players were tough but there weren't many of them.  We had been in that role only a couple of years prior.  It was not a close game but the Fayetteville fans were impressed with the team and the community that drove a long way for a likely mismatch.  We liked them in much the same way we like Gordy and their fans.  Some communities just click even when you are on opposite sides of a football field.  Anyway, I think a game across the State would be cool for Copper Basin because they get to have a big game experience.  They get an event game that may have media coverage to reward them for their dedication to their team and the sport we all love.  They would also be the darling in the game as an underdog.  Sometimes underdogs pull the upset and how sweet that is!  

Anyway, it's just a thought.  The big reason it would not be likely to happen is the cost of a trip like that.  $$$$$

    • Sorry Barn. I wasn’t specific enough. It seems I’m always protecting the principal at 825. My interactions with her have been extremely positive, but very limited. With all the other stories being told, I’m confident there are other sides I am not aware of. Regardless, there are lots of decent people earning good checks up there. Maybe too good, which explains why no one is willing to speak up. My beef is with the poor communication among the athletic programs and with the administration. Seven years ago the poor communication led to my son missing graduation due to a sporting event that was planned months before. I chalked it up to the system being totally shocked that the baseball team made it out of their district, and our then AD was a football coach. Maybe they were surprised and did not plan appropriately. That was more palatable than they just didn’t give a crap. Déjà vu, seven years later, same thing. Different administration, but same result.  Maybe in seven more years, it will actually be “about the kids”. They should do better. 
    • That's a fair line. But if it's not over, that's a big problem.
    • RR, you think that changes this year, or at least improves? I know they had a couple of talented young receivers last year that made some plays later in the year. Defensive back was a struggle against any team that was above average at throwing the ball.
    • You would think they got a bunch of interest
    • You would think with football just three months away more would be talking. There's only so much a person can say about someone allowing the field to get painted without asking their boss who would have said ((((((((  ALE NO ))))))))) or all the other BULLS#!T they've done as they lead Maryville High into the new age of WOKE in a conversative town. I'm ready for some football news without hearing something coming out of 825 that Power Munger has done to cap off the week.
