lhswrasslin Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 they gotta make state first, and a pulled hamstring don't sound very good for them to make it happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDub03 Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 as for Oak Ridge choking, they didnt do it the region winning with a 8:02. they also did this with a substitute runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d rang Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 I think the bigger issue is that private schools can recruit and get higher end talent. I mean Brentwood's time is an incredible time regardless of what class they are in, but I do think they have an advantage being a private school. Back to the original discussion - the 4x800 in AAA is probably going to be one of the better races at the state meet. With four teams under 8:05, its going to be close. After watching the Section-1 AAA meet, I have to give the edge to Oak Ridge because Matt Hudson ran probably the easiest looking 1:55 I have ever seen. He was hardly breathing after it was over. Good luck to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterboarder Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 (edited) I think the bigger issue is that private schools can recruit and get higher end talent. I mean Brentwood's time is an incredible time regardless of what class they are in, but I do think they have an advantage being a private school. no Instead of just saying that private schools recruit, why dont you give an example. You know, in all the posts Ive ever seen about private schools and their unfair advantage, Ive never seen any example of recruiting. Recruting, by the way, is illegal and the only school ever found doing it was BA- AND IT WASNT FOR RUNNERS- give it up, just because theyre better than you doesnt mean they cheat or have an advantage- all it does is make you guys look like a bunch of whiney little losers who would rather complain about the problem than work hard to cancel it out. [/ridiculous ranting] also, if youre going to respond to this, please present an example of recruiting (if you say its because they can get students from wherever they want bc theres no zoning, Ill just give MBAs "recruited" football lineup as a good example)- otherwise, just ignore my rant and let the real debate be done in the proper forum...

BHSfootball Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Coasterboarder, you developed quite the following on this board. By my count, there are three other coasterboarders on here. But you are the original! The one we've come to love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d rang Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Like you said, Division II obviously has the most talent of any division in the state. Practically all of that can be attributed to good coaching and hard work, but it would be ignorant to say that private schools don't have an advantage. Maybe what I said came off wrong. I'm not saying private school coaches are going around handing out brochures and asking people to come to their schools. The fact is that if you totally disregard athletics, private schools are generally better than public schools. If this were not true, people would not pay lots of money to go them. Since they are better, that gives them an inherent advantage over everyone else. I was not meaning it to be a put down so there is no need to be a jerk about it. The only reason this is being discussed is because you felt it necessary to come on here and talk sh*t. How about we talk about some state predictions instead.
