You ever think people just get tired of hearing about how great and special this Bracken County group is and then all the excuses everyone makes for them when they lose?

 

I mean it's like someone said in one of the other threads, we've been hearing about how this group of seniors were gonna be the ones to end the Championship drought in Brooksville and how Hinson was gonna help them achieve that and here we are, no championship and thousands of thousands of excuses. Someone even went to the extent to blame Jacob Hamilton for their loss to Mason County because he quit to focus on his XC career.

 

It's not so much people having agendas and out to get Hinson or hate on Bracken as much as it is people being tired of hearing how spectacular Bracken County is when they aren't.

 

I picked Bracken to beat Mason and Harrison. I am not a pro-Mason County person or even an anti-Bracken County person, but someone who is fair and calls things how I see them. One way or another.

I think the Bracken/Harrison game will be a good game too.

To each their own sir. So what if the BC faithful build up their team. So what if we believe in our kids and think through out this season we still think we are capable of big things? Who cares if we think we got one of the best coaches in the region? Our fan base is very passionate about our sports programs. Like all fan bases should be.

 

May I suggest if you are tired of reading it then click on the ignore user button so you won't have to read those post. It just amazes me how many ppl are quick to try and pull the rug out from under The Bracken fan base whenever there is a possibility of them having the potential to do something that happens very rarely for a school of our size.

 

Yeah we have had a roller coaster of a season. Probably not what most fans envisioned before the season started. But it is what it is and all schools left are 0-0 and it's win or go home. The 30 games leading up to this were to get teams ready for this week. There are 8 teams left and 8 teams with 1 goal and the is to hoist that region trophy and go to Rupp. So until they are eliminated they all have an equal chance of winning the next 3 games.

 

Granted there are the favorites and there are the team predicted not to win a game. I'd like to think that BC is in the middle of that group. And I'm sure there are more ppl out there waiting/wanting our kids to loose so the I told ya so post can come. But here's the thing we aren't supposed to win at least according to all the vast knowledge from ppl on here. But I've learned to just ignore the negativity and try to put our kids in a positive spotlight. Thanks.

This is the last time I'll address this issue until there's a thread solely created on this topic..

 

I'm all for pride, confidence and passion, but there's a fine line between that and being egotistical as another BGP poster mentioned in another thread. If you want to go out and say "Hey Bracken County is gonna win the State Championship and go undefeated" that's fine and dandy, but don't get upset when people call you out for having a 16-14 record, and not winning your district tournament while making ridiculous excuses. You can sit there and say well if this would've happened or that wouldn't have happened then we would've won all you want, but it isn't going to change anything. My father taught me not to make excuses and it is honestly probably the best lesson I've ever been taught because I take responsibility for myself and my actions.

 

Back to the whole agenda thing, it makes me curious as to why you guys think people are gonna spend $20 to get on a forum and try to destroy Bracken County's reputation? Not trying to be mean or anything, but you guys haven't won a district championship since 1999 and you think people are out to get you? For what reason? I know many BGPers on a friendly level and none of them that say negative things about the Bracken County program have "agendas".

 

You guys always want to throw the fact you're a small school at people but yet there are small schools out there night in and night out doing things that you guys say happens very rarely. Newport Central Catholic is an All A school that won their region last year and made noise at Rupp, Paris has the potential to do that this year, Augusta ALMOST did it last year. It isn't that rare for small schools to succeed, but yourself and other members of the PBN continue to act like it isn't possible and doesn't happen at all.

 

You have a great Monday sir, and best of luck to the Lady Bears and Polar Bears this week. :thumb:

I know Bracken Co. is an All A school, but not so sure I would classify it as a "small school"

 

Can anyone provide a breakdown of enrollment for the Class A Schools in the 10th region?

 

Bracken has to be the largest don't they?

Hit the nail right on the head with this one, good post sir!

Any news on Spencer Free? Word is that he chipped his elbow in the District Championship and will be out Wednesday night.

Would that be rye, wholewheat or white? Spell-check is not always our friend. LOL

 

Lol. You're right about that. Rye I think.

If this is correct, BC by 15-20

Agreed.

 

I want Bracken County to win, but I don't want Free (or any kid) to miss this game.

C'mon now Papa, those have to be fake numbers. Bracken County can't possibly be that big! They're at such a disadvantage when it comes to size according to some. :lol2:

And BC wants to say they're a small school?

I am a bit shocked Pendleton is larger than Mason. Where are all of those people hiding/living in Pendleton County? And look at Brossart, less than 1/6 the size of Campbell, yet over something like their last 20 meetings, Brossart wins half of those.
