Sweeperboy Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 A few weeks back NewCath's Principal Mr Carl Foster voiced concern about the way the NewCath family was acting and being portrayed in the sporting community... Well, if he has had his talk with the football team and players then it worked to perfection last nite and I want to say how proud Iam of the way our Christian neighbors stepped up. Apparently, after the Highlands lost last nite some NewCath kids did some social media tweeting accusing the Highlands players of "falling down the steps" tonite. Obviously, the news of Highlands went viral in all social media outlets and the haters came out of the woodwork needless to say and everyone is pouncing and taking their shots. It was like 7 yrs of emotions just being vented, I get it, and understand the frustrations of the haters.... But wait, the NewCath Football players do not agree...Several NewCath players stepped in and called out their fellow schoolmates and friends and put a stop to negative talk being displayed and more importantly they came to the aide of their Christian brothers in need. The latter is exactly the point and message that Mr Foster is trying to instill in his Student Athletes at NewCath and I say bravo to those in charge:thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellbird Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 That is great to hear. Kudos to the kids that stood up and righted the wrong that other kids did. I love hearing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 What is the steps reference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdyballgame Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 What is the steps reference? I think he meant to say stairway referencing stairway to seven. Tmc didn't get the memo though. It's cool though, you can put lipstick in a pig and expect it to not be a pig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 As a rule players GET it. They have respect for each other because they all know what it takes. It's the jackball fans who ruin it. You've got guys like UKfan calling Ft Thomas "loserville." You've got kids from each school talking smack. You've got adults talking smack about other players (see UKFan/Barker). I went to the social media world in an effort to find what you might be referring to. Couldn't find it. However, what I did find was Jensen Feggins congratulating a kid from Collins. THAT is what it's all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeperboy Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 And this is why some (and I mean some not just one) on here will only read this thread and not post. Simply because this message is about sportsmanship and class and there is no room in here for them :thumb: Unfortunately the bad will hide behind their avatars and take shots at High School Student Athletes like its their job...

TAC Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I thought Big C addressed the parents, not the kids? I have nothing but respect for the players and coaching staff of the Breds. Congrats on a fine season and way to step up and show some class on and off the field! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack of all Trades Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I never give Likes, but had to give one to Clyde. That was right on the money. I was told that some NCC students were talking smack and that Mac Franzen and Tommy Donnelly stepped up and told them to knock it off. You are right Clyde, most of the kids get it and others simply do not. Kudos to these two boys for having the courage to step up and be leaders at their school and calling out those that get a little carried away on Social Media.

sportsfan2012 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Smith and Gray also went to the social media telling others, not just their own school to leave the Highlands young men alone. It was awesome to see that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenR Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Saw some of those tweets myself. Very classy by the NewCath players. My daughter showed me a couple of those too. Agree it was a very classy move by the NC players to shut it down! Well played gentlemen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
