Real drop off at HH.  Just a one-off?

A couple of issues have led to this start:

 

1. This years SR class was pretty thin to begin with. Then 5 of them headed to Dayton to make it the thinnest I can ever remember.

 

2. The injury bug has been RIDICULOUS this year. They had 9 defensive players out against Columbus. They get all but 1 back this week so hopefully they stay healthy.

3. Replacing the back to back district MVP is tough (especially at QB).

 

I wouldn't expect this to continue past this year. This team is loaded with young talent. And I do mean YOUNG. They will suit up 7 freshmen this week. 4 will start. Both the freshmen and sophomore teams were undefeated all the way through middle school and halfway through their freshmen year before being broken up to supplement the Varsity. The future is bright, just got to survive this year.

Thanks for the explanation.

I absolutely agree with everything you said here. My only question pertains to #1, with Dayton's open enrollment status, their clear commitment to becoming a local power again, and the buzz that is starting to surround that program, do you think more will go to Dayton in the near future? Those younger classes have decisions to make when it comes to the football program and, really, those decisions need to be made this offseason. What's the feel around the community with the new coaching staff? Is the confidence still there? I only ask because I know it was kinda "meh" during the hiring process this offseason and struggling like they have this year couldn't have helped that.

Hard to say. Most of fence straddlers from the younger groups have revolved around baseball. I haven't heard too many complaints about the coaching staff this year as most people realize Huffman is down talent wise this year. Like I said I expect them to contend next year for sure, but if they were to lose 4 or 5 top kids to other schools that would change my expectations and I'm sure others would follow suit. Let's hope that doesn't happen because they have a chance to be really good.

I agree with that. The group coming up is loaded for sure. Unfortunately, I think something is going to have to happen in Huffman to inject some new life into the football program, something to create excitement, and I am not sure the powers that be are willing to do anything differently than they have been doing. I have friends there who go to home games and say the crowds are tiny and not interested in the game at all. The community needs and the kids need something to get excited about again. Probably a full scale culture change.

      Starting pitching has been shaky the last few weeks due to some injuries outside of Hagen Smith.  He goes tomorrow, so y’all should be fine

      West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin leaves Democratic Party, registers as independent

      By tvc184 · Posted

      Manchin may get it but any mention of the radical left that wanted to get rid of the filibuster and end almost 220 years of history because the Democrats are mad?  The House and Senate are obviously different legislative bodies with entirely different election processes and rules for a reason. The House can vote on laws with a simple majority vote. The Senate put rules in place that it would make it much tougher to pass laws. Laws should be difficult to pass. The Senate is often the holdup of the right and left. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster so any law will almost certainly require agreement at least in part, from opposing sides of an issue. Because they can’t get laws passed, the radical left is like a baby having a tantrum and wants to change over 200 years of history and make it potentially ridiculously easy to pass laws. I have seen current poll maps and it is possible for the Republicans to sweep into complete power in November but by the tiniest margin. That would possibly mean that a single vote margin in both houses could enact what you might call the radical right laws. There would be nothing that the Democrats could do to stop any legislation whatsoever if the left (they are all radical, minus Manchin) got their filibuster rule changed.  That is where the current filibuster comes into play as any new law would require several Democrats to agree with the majority Republicans and vice versa.  Do you want the potential for your radical right to have free rein as the radical left wants by killing the filibuster or is the radical left just as (if not more) dangerous? Let’s see if we have a history in this area? Oh yeah, the Democrats changed the rules in the Senate to allow federal judges to not have to overcome the filibuster. Obama was not getting his federal judge nominations passed and being angry, they changed the rules instead of nominating more moderate justices. They were warned that it would come back to bite them. They didn’t care and chose the nuclear option to change the rules. Oops! Any guess how Trump got all of his Supreme Court nominees passed against strong Democrat opposition? The Democrats got rid of the filibuster for federal judges after another tantrum   So when you are so worried about the radical right, are you equally concerned in what the radical left is always doing by changing rules and history which were put into place just for situations like we are in? So while Manchin gets it, what about his other 50 colleagues (49 + Harris)?  What concerns you more, Abbott and Paxton or the Democrats who want to make it to where if the Republicans do take over, they can go wild… at least in your mind?

      MODS please remove that ISD twitter link! I had no idea it would copy the whole posting. I only highlighted the portion about the venue change. Sorry about that!
