It has to do with him being a part-time AD and the way his retirement is structured.

[quote name="kicker" post="955190" timestamp="1296070408"] Confused. Why did he stop coaching? I know he stayed as the AD, but whats up? Under him, Dayton had become a football team you didnt want to schedule. [/quote]A personal decision on his part but we are very glad that he will remain as AD.

DISD Board of Trustees accepted Coach Jerry Stewart's letter of resignation as AD/HC at last nights board meeting. He will remain as AD only. Congrats AND many thanks to Coach Stewart for having a great run at Dayton----for those of us who do not remember we were everyone's Homecoming game before his tenure as the "big dog"---- I hate to see it end but thanks again!

[quote name="daytonfan" post="952305" timestamp="1295635712"] wasnt that blocked fg by gable or was it smesney? [/quote]#14-smesny blocked it--one reason why it is my favorite district game

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="952253" timestamp="1295632994"] Yall beat us in the 2006 game in a heartbreaker with the blocked FG.  the next year was 2007 and yall beat us 20-0 at your place.  That 2007 Dayton team with the backup QB (Gregory, I believe) marched to the State Simi's. [/quote]That 2006 is my favorite district game of all-time.

[quote name="bigdaddyblue" post="951834" timestamp="1295554528"] So i guess as long as Stewart has talent coming up he will continue coaching...When there is no talent,going to retire.......... [/quote]Not quite....when the time comes the cupboard will be full.............stay tuned

While these are not studies a quick "google" pulled up these tidbits: 1. CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL GOVERNING BODY-- "requires tougher standards on composite bats to reduce injuries from hard hit balls--- August 12 2010 2. Little League bans composite bats--DECEMBER 30 2010 3. Composite bats can be dangerous due to one or both of the following conditions: a bat manufactured exceeding specified performance criteria set by respective rule-making bodies is dangerous and, in an issue that is almost unique to composite bats, a bat is dangerous if it is structurally damaged through use or abuse showing cracks or rough edges that may become hazardous. While damaged bats can be a hazard, the central safety concern with composite bats is the speed of balls hit with them. In tests with composite bats and other bats, similarly pitched balls came off composite bats at least 15 percent faster, greatly decreasing reaction times for fielders. I find the last line interesting IF TRUE then 15 % is quite a jump in speed. Read more: Dangerous Composite Bats | eHow.com [Hidden Content]

[quote name="falconfanatic" post="951336" timestamp="1295477675"] There have been several studies on the wood versus metal bats issue 1 from 77 1 from 89 and 2 from the 90s all of the bats used in these studies are now illegal in the NCAA ( even before they went to bbcore requirements) mostly because the NCAA went to the besr and the minus 3 rule in an effort to limit the performance of metal bats . The 77 study concluded that on average the ball came off 3.85 mph faster from a metal bat than it did from a wood bat. The 89 study concluded that metal bats did not outperform wood bats. The most recent study whose results were released in 2002 showed that the ball comes off a metal or composite bat anywhere from 2 to 8 mph (depending on which metal or composite bat was used) harder than it does from a wood bat. All of the bats used in these studies are now illegal in an effort to diminish the performance of the bats. So it is safe to say that bats that are legal according to last years standards would have an even smaller difference between wood and metal. The main difference between wood and metal bats is the size of the sweet spot. On a wood bat the sweet spot is a little bigger than a baseball on a besr bat it is about 3 times larger. That is the main reason that metal bats lead to more home runs and a higher batting average. The difference in speed off the bat is not as big as some people think as shown in the studies. The new bbcore standards try to match the performance of a wood bat by shrinking the sweet spot. I have used these new bats and the sweet spot is about the same as it is on a wood bat. However a ball that is squared up on a bbcore bat, besr bat, or wood bat there is little difference. I do not believe it is necessary for high schools to go to wood bats. Every year in the majors pitchers are hit with balls some are seriously injured.  It does not matter if its a metal or wood bat pitchers will still get hit with line drives. Plus you have to think what moving to wood bats would do to high school baseball. The majority of players will not move on to the next level because they simply do not have the talent. These players batting averages would probably drop 100 points. The game will drastically change epically when you consider the dominate pitching that Texas is known for. Also moving to wood bat would increase cost. This may not be that big a problem for some schools, but what about the poor inner city schools. They typically do not have the talent of the suburbs and will most likely break more wood bats. Making the cost higher for the schools that can least afford it. P.S. before someone comes on here and says I don't what its like to have a ball hit at me. I am a pitcher who has been hit so hard with a line drive that I was knocked out. [/quote]P.S. before someone comes on here and says I don't what its like to have a ball hit at me. I am a pitcher who has been hit so hard with a line drive that I was knocked out. THEN I STAND CORRECTED---But I would like to know the source of the studies you site and are there any opposing studies that show otherwise?

Composite bats can be manufactured to behave much like a wooden bat----if folks insist on using them then they should be constructed as such---otherwise wooden bats should be used. All the talk about the sport "evolving" would have me believe that few people have seen a batted ball rocket back at them from the mound or taken one in the eye socket.

[quote name="hitman009" post="933512" timestamp="1292424508"] Not one post because I just got tired of arguing to the blind…. I do not hate Dayton…. They have a great program…. That is why I think they ALWAYS get the supers no matter what happens ( if they win district or not) …. I was just stating the facts…… • A kid has more yards than any of the supers… • Is more important to their team then any of the supers… • Plays in all games…. Not a little over ½ like the off MVP… • Is signed to a major university • And only gets 2nd team all-district???? Just does not seem right to me….. it leaves only one conclusion… and I was just stating my opinion [/quote]Is the conclusion that the entire District dislikes Merka or Crosby or just what is it???----

I might could see that BUT.... the same happened last year... he did not get a super and lead his team to a district championship... its should be a double sided coin.... you can't have it both ways... so your justification holds no merritt...... MO is that coaches do not vote for Crosby players for some reason... I am still tring to figure out why they hate Crosby enough to put reason aside and not do what is fare to the kids... or vote for Dayton players just because they are DAYTON....  either way it is not right... [/quote]OK I give up----Merka is great---Crosby is the best and yet somehow the head football coaches are either to stupid to recognize the greatness of Merka OR they are so small as to hold a grudge against an ENTIRE school and take it out on one player--------DO EVEN REALIZE HOW CHILDISH YOUR ARGUMENT IS? My guess is that you do not.

MVP because he was extremely important to his team. I'm just giving you some facts. Also... Jakari only missed the majority of the Crosby game and the CEK game. [/quote] Another way of looking at it is that Merka threw 118 more passes to complete only 18 more than Herrera. If those stats are correct then Herrera clearly had the better season.

[quote name="COUCH TATER" post="923631" timestamp="1291231172"] Wow! Okay, I can live with the fact that Merka didn't get MVP, but if not that award, he doesn't get 1st Team QB? This just isn't right. Maybe he's not the flashiest QB, but he just got the job done, whatever it took. He definitely carried that team and they wouldn't have gone nowhere without him. And yes from what I've heard TCU will probably try him at TE. Oh well, as we all know, life sometimes just isn't fair. But I do not agree with this decision. [/quote]I would not call finishing 1-4 as "getting the job done" ------as for MVP look at it this way-----the only way he was LESS valuable would be if Crosby finished 0-5 I have to trust the men in that room and the decision they made.

They got dead on right with Darian Wright as MVP----w/o him the Dayton defense gets rolled right up the middle 4-5 yards a pop until Rip hits them. He is without a doubt MVP.
