FRA and Ezell

[ryan]

Man, talk about a physical game. I'm #22 for FRA and I had to go to the hospital afer the game- Concussion, bruised ribs and lungs, and a bruised collarbone. The first 3 quarters were great, both teams fought hard. It's pretty impressive when fans from the other team (Schlappi's and Gettis' parents) are concerned about a player from the other team. If either of you guys read this, tell your folks thanks for me. Good luck for the rest of the year Ezell.

From what I read, you and your teamates played your hearts out. The problem is not athleticizm, desire, or numbers of players. The problem is the guy calling the plays. FRA does not score enough points against the tough teams. He is too predictable, unimaginative, and outlasted his years of being a contributing coach. When was the last time a quarterback called an audible at the line? That was the last year of good FRA football.

ADAD, why don't you apply to be the head coach for FRA. Obviously you are missing your true calling. Let the kids play the game without always providing your negative criticism. I doubt the coaching staff at FRA is intentionally trying to lose a game. I hope you find some peace in your past concerning FRA.

Coach, my gripe is not with you or the job you do. I just happen to believe the young men deserve better and the parents that are forking out $10,000 a year deserve better. At that cost you are competing with MBA and BGA for student/athletes, and look at the success of those programs. When the private/public split occurs, you are in deep deep trouble.

 

In 1991 FRA won a state championship. CPA didn't even have a football program then. Look what they have became in a little over ten years. Conversely, look where FRA has gone in ten years. Aren't you guys getting a little tired of .500 seasons? Don't think that doesn't enter into the equation when a parent considers a school for their athletic son or daughter. So the cycle continues and deteriorates. No athletes, no wins, no wins, no athletes.

 

I have the utmost admiration for players wearing blue, just give them the tools and the opportunity to win.

Yeah, 8 state championships since 2000, more than all but 5 schools, speaks poorly of FRA's athletic ability. Everyone speaks of FRA football like its been wiped off the face of the earth, but it was only two years ago when it ended USJ's regular-season winning streak and gave an incredible CPA team all it could handle for seven out of eight quarters, including a 1-point loss that was a few feet from a victory. Meanwhile, Ezell was also .500 just two years ago. Some years are going to be better than others; it's not a major cause for concern.

I wish all team would exhibit the class and spotmanship displayed by FRA and Ezell-Harding coaches, players and parents. We hope you are doing well FRA #22 and good luck in the future.
