Several players were not dressed for this game, for various reasons.

 

Was it for disciplinary reasons?

So you are saying LCA only has 25 (16 + 9 missing tonight) players from grades 10-12 on their roster? For a school coming off a state title and will be playing in 2A next year, that surprises me.

 

Don't bank on LCA playing 2A next year.

I don't want to stray too far off thread here, but are you saying LCA is looking to play up? They will not be in 1A due to their enrollment placing them about in the middle of 2A. Are they going to use geography to try and move up?

No, I'm saying they are using their geography and how every other sport at LCA is still 1A to appeal to stay where they are.

To all of the LCA team and fans. You have shown some kind of sportsmanship. Getting beat really bad. Knowing you had NINE starters missing from this game. And not one word about it till half way through this post. Even after hearing about it. You didn't use it as an excuse. Any other fan base (including myself) would have been screaming something like: We were missing half our starters, That wasn't our real team, If the school hadn't punished half our team we would have beaten them. Proud of the way you handled this. You play with what players you have! And that is what you did. Maybe we can all learn from this!!

Well said.

I'll start a new thead on this, I want to hear more but we can't talk about it in this thread.

Unfortunate life lesson for LCA team. Handled very well! We should all use this as a teaching opportunity with our kids.

Unfortunate only if the lesson is not learned.

Before I read anything else in this thread I will laugh at the fact that it seems all I need to do is post one negative, doubting comment on my alma mater about how I think at this point they are playing horrible and should get smacked around by LCA and they respond with a 62-0 shelling that forces me to eat lots and lots of crow. Anyways, looks like Lex Cath's D took care of business throughout. I wonder if LCA's missing players also really contributed to this final outcome.

Alright, now having read the thread, I get the impression and rightly so that like I thought, the score definately doesn't give a full picutre of the game. Regardless of right, wrong, or what missing a large number of players, and especially ones who play a good amount isn't easy for any team. Still, it definately looked based upon score like Lex Cath was able to wear down LCA and add on to the score in that 3rd quarter. For Lex Cath I can only say don't let this final outcome get your egos too big, you guys were on the end of a couple lopsided decisions very recently and still can improve. However, hopefully the team is starting to come around and find their footing. As for LCA, hopefully things get better next week with the situation with the suspended players and use this experience to fuel the rest of the season. Hats of too a great young program (as if Catholic was that much older) I feel that you guys will bounce back well from this past game.

Bluto my man, you are right again.

I Just saw this post.I want to make a correction.I dont think it was 9 starters I think the whole team was out and they showed up with the 7th grade bunch. I think someone said there were two starters that missed and a couple of reserves but that couldnt be the case.Just wanted to let everyone know that I saw part of the game and when I found out they suited the cheerleaders up I went home. Shew I was worried if Christian would have had all the kids eligible they would have won 60 to 0
