[quote name="BEARCAT" post="1357211" timestamp="1356028758"] This is an outdated rule that has no place in todays hs basketball.  It was put in place to keep one team that had players who could dunk from "intimidating" another team that had no players who could dunk.

One game I had 16 carries for 145 and 2 tds on our rivals North Dakota State and afterwards someone asked Mr. K, "hey, doesn't your daughter date that guy that plays rb at state".

As usual I was giving a pertinent example that was taken out of context. Funny you think Rob Parker is out of line now but at 75 your still TRYING to change. I have no idea who you are but I can tell you were raised in a house where blacks weren't referred to as black and you just recently started trying to refer to us as black. Your calling me stupid for my analysis but yet can't spell the word. I bet given the opportunity you would "accidently" put a .243 center mass on Obama 'cause you think he wants to take away guns but yet still feel bad when someone can walk into a movie theatre or elementary school and commit mass murder. Have you adjusted to that? Of course not, that's why whenever you're around your buddies it still sounds like 1960.  Like your moniker says, you "usedtobe" a racist so don't get on your high horse now to try to make a point you didn't give a d*** about for the first 74 years of your life. As far as I'm concerned you can point your moral compass in a different direction 'cause there's a roadblock over here. *I'm glad your still here though, that way I can show my sons how it "usedtobe". Hopefully you're not here much longer so you and your conglomerate don't have to TRY to adjust anymore. [/quote] Well Cougar, you reacted but you didn't make a whole lot of sense in my opinion.  I didn't say anything in my post about "vicariously through your sons."  I didn't know you had sons.  Also, I was raised in a house that called Blacks "Negroes" with a capital N.  That was the prevalent and accepted identification at that period in history.  The people of color had not yet become "Blacks" nor had they evolved to "African Americans."  So what is your point there?  Check the dictionary: analyses is the plural of analysis.  It was the tense that I intended to use because had I used analysis it would have restricted my reply to your response.  I intended to have my response cover all responses like yours, hence the plural analyses.  On the gun thingy - I don't own a gun now nor have I owned a gun in my adult life.  The only gun that I ever owned was a 22 single shot that was a Christmas present when I was 14.  I don't remember what became of that gun but I know I don't have it now.  I don't know why I need to contact either school that your second thought pointed out.  Must have something to do with Parker but your point wasn't clear.  Elaborate if you need to and then, if there is any merit to it, I might contact the schools you mention.  With my age thing I was trying to confess some of my shortcomings.  Since you apparently have none, you did not recognize my response for what it was.  Cougar, we can keep this going - but you are ill equipped in this battle.

Newton was unwilling to make any adjustments on Def. and looked like an un-prepared team on off. Newton should have won by 21 points. I feel like Newton missed a great opportunity to win state. I wish Coach Barbay was still alive ! [/quote] I agree partially. They were ok on Offense, until they went for it on 4th down that was too far to make, the fumble in which cost them the lead before the Half. On defense they were doing fine until the Half. i dont know what went on in the locker room but it didnt seem like they were that excited to play in the 2nd half. no adjustments were made for the Secondary. Add in Yoe was a great team and made the necessary adjustments at Halftime & boom: They won. BTW, that Nose Guard for YOE was having absolutely none of that Newton running up the middle stuff, that kid was a beast! [/quote] I did not see the game.  But, in trying to get a feel for what was happening, it certainly seems to have been a game of two completely different halves.  Newton seems to pretty much have had its way in the first half.  And somehow the whole momentum changed in the second half.  Yoe made adjustments and Newton did not?  I don't know - but if you[u][b] ever[/b][/u] underestimate Yoe, you have made a big mistake.  Perhaps that was the team mindset for Newton at half time - big lead, we have them where we want them, etc, etc.  Again, I don't know.  It's over now and I'm disappointed for Newton.  I believe that they were the best team.  Sometimes stuff happens.

If so, I hate to hear that. This is couron's last year and i think he will regret that decision later. On the other side of the coin, both these boys have a good chance to play football at the next level. So maybe that has something to do with there decision. If it does and they are both wanting to heal up and reduce the risk of injury, i don't blame them.  As for the team goes, it would be nice to have that extra size in there to give Weisbrod a break, which could help late in games. IMO... the dogs will be just fine and will continue to improve.
