I wrote this concerning the game this week between Newark Catholic and Licking Valley after so many of us who post on our local site had been talking crap all week.

 

 

I think it could go for all of us who post on message boards especially when the game we are posting about involves two big rivals.

 

Here it is-

 

To the players on L-Valley and N-Cath

 

 

It’s been great talking trash with the fans of these two great county teams but no matter what we(adults) say please keep in mind we(all of us I hope) have nothing but respect for you guys and, the way you play the game. Yes, we all want the team we root for too win but, more than that(I hope) all of us wants all of you to come out of this epic battle 100% healthy. WE(Yes, all of us) say stuff but let’s make one thing loud and clear(I hope on all of our part)that we do not hate/dislike any of you.

 

Go out there and play the best game you can and NEVER let ANYTHING posted on a message board get under your skin. WE(ALL OF US) sometime forget that you guys are young men playing a game many of us have never played in school, or can’t play right now. Some of us did play and most of those who did never were able to play at the level that some of you guys are.

 

So in closing play each play like it is your last and never give up on yourself, your teammate or you coaches.

Speaking of Licking Valley, How is Storm doing this year?

He signed with Ohio State to start things off and he is playing a real good linebacker on defense. He has been getting more carries on offense at RB as of late. The kid (man) is a beast.

This is a great post and all of us, no matter what school we support, need to be more aware of how our post affect the young players on these teams. :thumb:

There is a poem that sums it all up, remember that these boys are someones children and that we can hurt a child by cruel words and poor treatment. We must remember that as adults sometimes we go way too far and we really "show" ourselves. These boys wants to win but let them have fun and treat them with respect. Just a mom's opinion.
