[quote name="rykerx144" post="1045325" timestamp="1314764430"] Do we really need the smoking gun at this point??  My respect for Coach T has grown 110% in the past few days.  My hats off to him for cleaning things up.  Its not going to do any good to point fingers at this point.  The bottom line is the that the guilty party is no longer part of the program.  Whether it be the student, the parents, or the previous administration (which alot of you are alluding too but scared to just come out and say it) it doesnt matter because none of them are associated with the program anymore.  Again, hats off to ya Coach T, the kids and that program are lucky to have you on board now and you are without a doubt the right man for that job.  kudos!! [/quote] If the current Coach is truly the one who innocently brought this out in the open, then I applaud him; however, pointing fingers is EXACTLY what needs to happen.  If someone at WOS schools is involved (old, new or current), then it should be investigated.  School records were changed for crying out loud.  The pile is too big to sweep under the rug...YES, we need the smoking gun (and whomever pulled the trigger).

I know Lum White won the 'bowl last year.  Who looks bettter this year? White or Red?

I don't know the coach, the athlete or the athlete's family, so I cannot comment on where the whole thing went south; however, I do have common sense.  If anyone out there disputes something weird was INTENTIONALLY going on, then you need to have your head checked.  It would be interesting to know who coached the boy (family/coach/himself/whomever) to give the incorrect age.  It would also be very interesting to know who marked through the dates in the SCHOOL/COACHES RECORDS!  Believe me...all we are lacking is the smoking gun.  Hope WOS has a good season without him, as I am sure they will.  I also hope this kid puts this mess behind him amnd uses it as a lesson that lying/cheating/selective memory can get you in trouble.

Still very early in the season, but I agree with most of your picks 85.  The scores still have not posted...anywhere else I can find out week 1 winners?

People are generally good and they don't mean it literally......... If your looking for drama, you can ALWAYS find it...... [/quote] AMEN to that...

Don't sweat it 'b.  Whomever made those comments will die one day and burn in Hell for eternity.  I wouldn't worry too much...

Definitely an STJFL board matter; however, it's too bad that a group of adult coaches had to sour the post season chances for a group of kids that had no part in the matter (except for doing what they were told).  Gotta play by the rules coaches!  Like I said in my post earlier, it was more than just a small innocent oversight.  Those guys intentionally broke the rules.  Sorry kids...

Anymore PeeWee Tackle scores???

They don't rebuild, they reload!! Lumberton Red spanked KTZ last week. And we all know about Lumberton White. 10+ players returning along with the coach. Plus they play in a week division. They should blast every team by 20+. Lumberton White will Repeat!! Back2Back [/quote] I love the enthusiasm!!!!! I love football!!! [/quote] I think the Lumberton teams will be good as always (just ask them...they will tell you).  I actually saw Red scrimmage Kountze.  My pick is with them...but who knows.  Olexa's White team is usually very solid.  Let's see what happens tomorrow.

Regardless of inncocent rookie mistakes...hand-picking a team and only allowing certain players to play on a team is more than an oversight of confusing rules.

Preach on Brother!

So where's the coach?  I think it's a league rule that he has to be there a majority of the time...

You said it...break often & hydrate those boys!  That's what we do too.  Coaches, don't be shy.  You need the fluids too!
