  1. Any Cov Cath fan or parent that knows Wirth should not even begin to think he is in trouble. While the results on the field are not what any fan wants, I believe there should be much more to how any High School coach is judged than just his W-L record. Look at the number of 'Thats my Boy' finalists Dave Wirth has had, not just at Cov Cath but also his previous stops. That says alot about who he is. Football adjustments will be made and stuff on the field will work itself out.
  2. I was at the game as a impartial HS football fan. While I did leave with about 8 minutes to go in the game, i did not see the horrible calls everyone is talking about, or what may have happened the last few minutes of the game. There was some confusion on a few calls where the ref crew did seem to not be on the same page, which if this is the first time they worked together is understandable. I did not disagree with probably 90% of the calls they made (holding, late hit out of bounds, etc) but I am sure they missed calls as well, but none that IMO were so obvious they were no brainers. I did notice Highlands being flagged more than LC, but again the calls they made were not bad calls. Could it be that the Highlands faithful are not used to being called for more penalties than their opponent hence the refs were the worst in the history of the game? Regarding the Lex Cath Coach coming on the field, he did come out probably 10 yards or so on the field, but without knowing what was said this could easily have been a sideline infraction/warning (which it was) or Personal Foul. IMO the refs were no better/no worse than most HS refs. I hate to see the good effort and game plan by Highlands be somewhat diminished by the complaining about the refs by mostly the winning team.
  3. How do you mean? I left with about 8 min left but thought the refs did a pretty good job. There was a little confusion on a call or two, but for the most part I saw the penalties they called before I saw the flags come out.
  4. By different strokes I am assuming you mean it is OK for HHS to do this year after year, but if another team happens to do it (with mostly backups) it is not OK?
  5. My point was that we learn from our previous situations, good and bad and I feel confident Coach Brossart will have more success at Dixie as a result.
  6. This is an OK hire for Dixie and a much better situation for Coach Brossart than he had at Cov Cath. Quite frankly, he was in over his head at Cov Cath and the jump from Finneytown to Cov Cath was much like Faust's jump years ago from Moeller to Notre Dame. That didn't work out too well either. While he had the skills to be somewhat successful at Finneytown, you can't use the same formula at other schools. You need to be able to adjust to the type of kid and talent you have. Even long tenured coaches still make adjustments from year to year based on what they have, and this is after years of having players come up through your system. Brossart was unable or unwilling to see the adjustments in personnel and/or systems that needed to be made. He stuck with kids at positions they should not have been playing, and was reluctant to give younger kids the opportunity to make a contribution. I am thinking he has learned from that and will make the needed adjustments this time around. Also, outside of the X/O side of things there is alot more fan involvement in successful programs and he was not real good at handling this. Instead of managing the positive and discounting the negative, he basically tried to shut it all down. Again I would think this is another area he has improved in as to be successful at Dixie he will need to get all the right kids out, and increase the fan/community involvement in the program. I for one am wishing him success in his new role.
