[quote name="queenb77630" post="1101010" timestamp="1320095180"] Division 1 had some great teams also.  Just because they didn't make it past round 1 doesn't mean they were less then good. [/quote] I don't think anyone said DIV 1 wasn't good...I think the poster was just pointing out (and rightly so) that EVERY team in the 2nd round is from DIV 2.  The implication is that DIV 2 was better/tougher than DIV 1...Can't argue with the logic...

[/quote] My point is a Reed is a better fit for SIlsbee's offense. Not to take anything away from Drake. He is one heck of a player, but he threw 5 TD's in a game vs HJ not WOS or BC. Reed did get Silsbee to 6-0 if I recall. I guess he was good enough for those games and earned the right to start. Drake is better at wideout and saftey. Him playing QB, Saftey, Punter, Kicker, etc wears him down to much. Reed is young and has alot of growing and maturing to do. If Silsbee wants to have success outside of thier next game, they are better off leting Garret play his normal position at WR and Saftey. [/quote] Good well thought out argument, but I gotta go with Drake on this one.  Let's win THIS year and next year. Start Drake.  If he can't keep up due to going 3 ways, then put Reed in. 

Lumberton starting QB/DB out as well as another 2 way key starter @ WR/DB makes for a tough ball game for LHS to win this one.

Looking at other start-up programs, like South Alabama, and Lamar is not keeping pace. There are more and more empty seats at LU games. Interest is waning. Winning solves these problems. Embarrasing showings like this week cant help recruting or ticket sales, so how does it get better? [/quote] People need to go to the games win or lose.  I would imagine that at least 1/2 of the people on this board have been to 2 or fewer home games.  Success takes support.  Support means $$.  Fans (and rich donors) = money. [/quote] BINGO!

I am not saying Woodard is the answer.  I am only saying that this is an infant program.  Give it a chance to crawl then walk then run.

[quote name="dogfather" post="1100418" timestamp="1320058811"] Who knows - play offs are crazy - I think the right 4  teams are there for sure. Lumberton W  18  WOS 6 Png G            28  BMT 21 [/quote] Man...as close as these teams are to each other, I can see it going either way.  I like your picks/spreads though.  Hope Lum W brings it home.

[quote name="Ochocinco" post="1099657" timestamp="1319948843"] Who wins, Wos or LUM W?      Bmt G or Png G? [/quote] When it's down to the last 4, I think anything could happen.  My picks would be: LUM W PNG G I think that would be the Super Bowl at this point.

It can always be taken back...Jesus said so.

I think everyone has had a pretty good stab at ndndad's problem...let's let up on the poor b??tard.  He was pretty forthcoming, and we have all had our swing at the kid and the Dad...probably time to let it go.  Just my opinion.

North- (Lumb. white and blue, Kountze, Bmt, LC, Vidor, & Orangefield) 7 teams 3 playoff teams. South- (Ned. white and black, PNG white and purple, PA, WOS, BC) 7 teams 5 playoff teams. Playoff teams only listed because if the team is in the supperbowl the player will not be in the probowl. So a team might be able to bring a few more kids to make up the difference. [/quote] You have omitted a BMT team and PNG G...is this because you think BMT G and PNG G will be in the Superbowl??? [/quote] That can't happen.  They will play each other if they both win this weekend. [/quote] That is correct...should've noticed that.  I guess they were just mistakenly omitted from Gusher's synopsis.

[quote name="queenb77630" post="1095701" timestamp="1319723064"] I've kept my opinion to myself for a while but now I have to say something.  My two sons are very much into sports and have been since a very early age (baseball, soccer, basketball, football).  They choose to do these sports - they are never forced into it by my husband and I.  I know for a fact that some coaches are partial to their own kids.  I know for a fact that some coaches take their dislike/anger at a parent out on the child (briefly: my oldest was drafted onto a baseball team (Bridge City Pony League) because the head coach thought that I would send more business his way through my job; when I said I have no control over who gets hired for the jobs, my son was suddenly off the starting lineup and played the minimum.  I'm not stupid, I know why that happened)  Both boys have had some bad experiences and they have had some really GREAT experiences with coaches.  I have always told them that if they have an attitude then they deserve to be benched.  If they are being punished for something that I did, then I will take care of it. If the child was not played because of a bad attitude; then, well, so be it.  The attitude of one child can mess with the attitude of the whole team.  If the child was calling names and being rude, and was allowed to continue doing so just because he is a good player, that doesn't set a very good example for the rest of the team.  I'm sure it would make the other players ticked and then they would have an attitude then. If the child was not played for some personal vendetta on the coaches part, then shame on him for being so childish and selfish.  Not only are the kids playing this sport because they want to (I hope), but they PAID for the opportunity to do so. It really seems to me like it was a combination of the child with a bad attitude and the personal vendetta of the coach that led to the child being benched and not played as much as daddy wanted.  I'm glad that my son has good coaches and I have no reason to complain about how much he plays and how he is treated. [/quote] How was it a "personal vendetta" for the coach?  That makes no sense.

[quote name="demons95" post="1095661" timestamp="1319720948"] We did.  Glad you came ;) :o [/quote] I wished I could have come.  Maybe next year...

As far as the language goes, if you think he was the only kid that used bad language, you weren't listening. Building character lasted a whole 4 games before it was decided he was too much trouble. It was my fault for thinking trying to get some opinions on the matter somehow would get turned around and my son is a demon child that can't be controlled by a grown man. If he was that much trouble, how come no one ever came to me and said anything? Its been stated several times on this thread that I should have gone to the coach. What about the coach coming to me? We have since remedied the problem and you won't have to deal with devil anymore. But what about the next kid who's too much trouble? [/quote] I do not know you child but NO child is a demon or a devil child.  I deal with children in my line of work and have for many years plus I have 4 kids of my own.  In all that time I have encountered one child that was unruly.  I won't get into that.  You are your wife are your child's parents and biggest role model.  They copy everything we do and say it is just how kids are.  I am no where near the perfect parent and have never claimed to be.  But if one of my kids even the two that are out of high school every used that word or any word like that they would get a lecture from me like never before.  Again I don't know you or your child and have no clue about the situation so it could have never happened at all.  I teach my children that just because your friends do or say something doesn't mean that you should.  Also only you know what is best for your child since you are the parent.  Good Luck to you and your son in the future.
