C'mon Scuba...just because you can't see oxygen in the atmosphere doesn't mean it's not there. You are playing a card that doesn't need to be played. I can't count how many times I have seen coaches from ALL Louisville schools at little league games that their kids aren't playing in. Call it what you want, but don't make out like it's not happening brother. It is what it is and an accepted part of the sports culture in the city and surrounding counties. Let's just move on.

I never said that in the history of high school football that a team besides T or StX would never win state. I did address it by the way when I said in the last 15 years T and St X won 13 titles combined and Scott Co and Male won 1 each.

 

Those 1A teams have the same advantage that T and St X have so hey are in the same boat. Their size isn't my worry. Equal playing field is what matters and they all have the same capabilities to attract out of area students.

Y'know you're right. I now see the errors of my ways. Clearly Cooper didn't schedule Bishop Brossart because of that clear advantage in attracting students. Heck, Cooper would have been lucky to stay within six touchdowns of the unstoppable force that is Mustang football. :lol2:

 

As an aside though, you can measure oxygen and prove it's there. Poor choice of analogy.

Reread it...you can't SEE oxygen (who said measure??). Come by the house and show me!! LOL. My analogy is fine, thanks though.

Then prove we are wrong and all the kids at T and St X were born and raised in the immediate area surrounding the schools.

 

Don't know why you are getting upset. Did I state they were breaking rules? Nope. But to deny Trinity doesn't have students that grew up in other school districts is false and don't know why you deny it happens.

Can be said about every school in Louisville...there are no feeders-other than the Traditional schools (resides is what are used for magnet programs), if you aren't out talking to kids, then you are WAY behind the 8 ball.

Exactly. That is why I asked him why he is so upset. It's not like it is against their rules. It happens, why act as if it doesn't and why act like it's not an advantage compared to other schools across the state. It is what it is. No biggie, just pointing out it happens.

Not exactly true either. Counties with multiple schools and even one horse town county schools are doing the same things. It's too easy now with parents shopping their kids and parents wanting their kids in competitive programs. It's happening all over. Not fair to say everywhere, but far more than people know or are willing to let on. Just part of sports today.

Eh, not really upset. Just mildly annoyed. Then I realized that it's useless to argue with some who has decided something isn't fair because they don't win.

Just about every school district has the ability to have students who live out of district. Are you upset Boone Coumty schools don't have that ability. That sounds like a problem with Boone County, not Catholic schools.

Can'tcoach, you just had to hit the hornet's nest didn't you........:isurrender:.... We'll talk during basketball.....:thumb:

We win plenty thanks. I'm also not unhappy, quite the contrary. I'm extremely proud of Cooper's short history and what they accomplished. Actually it means more knowing they've won what they've won not having the same advantages other schools have.

I'm not upset at all.

 

I never said schools cheat either. I simply stated advantages some have over others is all.

So every player that plays for Trinity over the lets say past 29'years all live in the neighborhood surrounding the school? Wow, they must have some special water in those drinking fountains.

 

Now I never said they did anything "illegal" just that they have a big advantages to be able to attract athletes that other schools can't. That is all.

 

How many state titles does T have and St X have over the last 15 years? Trinity and St X have won a total of 13 and Male and Scott Co have won 1 each.

 

The water is not in fountains. It's bottled water, and the only two teams that get that "special water"delivered, is Trinity and Highlands. :deadhorse:

I just asked a simple question. I did stir up some controversy though, didn't I?:popcorn:
