YellowJacketCoach

Let me handle this for you guys....Yes I am a coach at Chester, Coach Meeker. I do not get on here often just wanted to check district scores to see how everyone was doing and came across this. To deal with the finance thing, as a teacher u either teach multiple subjects and multiple grades 6th-12th. We have 6 total coaches for Jr high and High School. We have 9 total teachers for jr high and hs. We have 4 guy coaches and 2 ladies coaches. 3 of us guys coach football, baseball and basketball. 1 of the other guy coaches is our tech guy who films games and is in the box for football, he also does track and cross country boys and girls. Our 2 female coaches coach volleyball, basketball and softball. As coaches we do not make money for every sport we do we mainly share responsibilities and do our part, life coaching at a small school. Ok now for the football part. We had 17 with us at High Island, had 20 oon the roster but really had 18: 1 hurt previously, 1 other reasons, and 1 was at a hunter safety course. So lets do the count against High Island: 3 with broke bones, 2 head injuries (concussions and spinal damage), 1 shoulder (previously injured as well), and 1 hand (not to serious). 3 finished the game against High Island not bc we wanted them to bc they left everything they had out there. After arriving home that leaves us 10 semi-healthy kids. Here is your choice put more kids personal well-being and health at risk for a game? Ask yourself if you want your kid or yourself put in the line of fire? My job and every teacher, coach, parent and responsible human being is to protect kids and your faced with a decision can you have a kid seriously injured just to finish a season. Sry my friends I could not have done that and obviously there were more ppl who did as well. God puts us in a position to protect and guide children, this will teach them 1. their self worth to a team 2. value of every human life there is 3. how important that "1" person is. No I don't like quitting, but for the best intrest of the kids it was the final decision. Do you think we want to take away something like this for the remaining few, esp srs? TRUTH to address you, you seem to be selfish. You are just worried about the last 2 games of district and not the lives of the kid's They sure did not go through 2-a-days and practice to end it like this. Remember when you talk about hs sports first thing is first the kids, then worry about your school and winning. I am not trying to be rude but I see this in society and ppl talk about the kids like they r empty objects that just are production tools. These kids r our future and it is up to you and I to sculp and mold them into good young men and women of God. About this not being fair no it isn't, life ain't fair. Ask ne woman if she thinks its fair she has to get pregnant and experience all that pain while the husband did his part too. Same in this situationChester kid's did their part but can't have the baby or in this case play. Sry just the first thing that came to my head.I have one thing to leave you with and its this......PSALMS 127:3 "Behold CHILDREN are a gift of the Lord"
