Your Colmesneil sources are of course going to have this take, still haven't seen a definitive reason but I'm going with storm related just due to how the Sup. worded the Facebook post.

Believe whatever you want....if it were storm related, there would not be a forfeit involved.........

What a shame to know that these tiny schools in the area could drop individual games or even possibly entire seasons for...whatever reason.

I personally have always been a proponent of just shutting the doors to many of these schools..or at least cutting programs that can’t consistently compete.  I’m actually surprised the state hasn’t done some forced consolidations due to money.

I get it.. local schools provide work.. small town kids may get different experiences by getting to be more involved.. blah blah.

But.  Can’t field an 11 man team (guaranteed)?  Can’t afford 6 man travel?  Fine.  No football.  What a waste of someone’s schedule.

I think Colmesneil beating Deweyville had more to do with it than anything else.......lol

Wrong at just shutting down small school.  They are usually the backbone of the community.  Some great kids have come out of small schools.

I'm not arguing that.  Perhaps you didn't read what you responded to thoroughly.  Backbone of the community?  Fine.. keep it.  Can't field an 11 man team? Can't afford 6 man travel?  Also fine.. but shut down the football program if that's the case.  Why screw other schools by having a hole in their schedule that they CAN'T fill?..

I agree with the fielding teams and not enough kids, however as far as shutting down small schools or consolidating schools should be very rare and not because they can't field a team. Just my opinion.

      Of course Trump’s prosecution is political, but if paying hush money is illegal, then there is no difference.  I’d say it’s more like ham sandwich/turkey sandwich.

      Kevin Foster steps down

      By AggiesAreWe · Posted

      Coach Foster and I had talked earlier in the season and he told me this might be his last year to coach but still wasn't sure. Well, he is sure now. It's been a great privilege to cover his teams. I always enjoy watching his teams play. They are always one of the best coached teams year in and year out. But it's more of an honor and privilege to call Kevin my friend. He is just an absolute great man. He and his dad are the reasons I am a big Big Sandy fan. I will miss Coach on the sidelines. Just won't be the same without him. But I also know we will keep in touch and he will be greeting me when I attend Wildcat basketball games. Congrats Coach Foster!!! Job well done my friend!

      Yeah, I got that but talk about a stretch. It should seem obvious that Trump’s prosecution is purely political. If someone is going to do a whataboutism, at least make it similar.  This is so ludicrous that it’s like comparing a ham sandwich to a wallet.

      You consistently try to say Trump ran our debt up and that the stock market and job market cratered during his administration (along with other MSNBC talking points). That is a flat out LIE, and you know it. Not only are you telling a mistruth, you knowingly are telling a mistruth...which is a blatant LIE...which makes you a "(I don't remember what word you used to describe Trump, something like a purse for dirt)" does it not? You know for a fact that the economy, stock market, and job market was thriving under Trump. You know that the Democrats controlled the house, and proposed a budget that would hurt the economy, in which he shut down the government. Even after this fiasco brought on by Democrats, our economy flourished under his administration. Then Covid19 hit, and the blue states shut down the country. YOU KNOW THIS, but continue to blame Trump. You lie...blatantly. Again, what do we call these people that partake in disseminating misleading information. You coined it...that purse thing. Does the shoe fit? I bet it does. It is amazing that you try to put "MAGA people" into this little box for the soul purpose of allowing all negative attributes of anyone that will vote for Trump instead of Biden to be attributed. That is a sickening modus operandi of stupid people. It is hard for me to believe that you would adopt that childish stereotyping. But since you are willing, I'm willing to push back. I'm a Trump supporter. I will gladly vote for him over Biden. So get busy putting me in your silly little box of stereotypes so I can embarrass you some more. You've been shot down by practically everyone on this board when you say stuff like Trump is their Messiah, or that supporters overlook his flaws. Everyone on this board has stated that they don't agree with Trump on much of his behavior, but you ignore these statements and continue with your lies. Oh yeah, since I'm a Trump supporter, those comments were also directed directly at me. So let's go. Prove I'm a simpleton that will ignore all of Trump's flaws and vow to disown the bad ol' orangeman. Let's continue that diatribe you peddle. I now am interested in responding. I also have boxes I can place people in. Whose box is accurate? Better yet, whose box is more embarrassing? I'm fairly certain your box is more entertaining for the board to make fun of. TDS should be included in the DSM-6, or revise the DSM-5 to include it since this phenomenon is so pervasive now. You are a walking, talking picture of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Do you like that box? Can you refute the rationale for placing you in that box. Everyone can refute your rationale for placing them into your irrational box, while you languish in your TDS box.

      Clinton got impeached because of it. David Pecker said it was true about Stormy today. Under oath.
