No national matchup for Trinity, Don Bosco

Can a MOD change the title of the thread. I meant for it to say "National Championship." Thanks

Sort of a shame. I guess it's good that neither team will have to end the season with a loss though.

I think it is a shame as well. Would have been pretty cool to see this game.

I cannot believe this has been so "on the down low." Heard about it last night.

 

Boy - was I suprised when saw the AM paper.

 

Back in the fall someone floated to me the idea of a Doubleheader - here @ PJCS. T vs. Don Bosco \\\ X vs. Bergen Cath.

 

sounds interesting doesnt it................

It is a shame. Would have been great for those Young Men at Trinity and would have been good for the state as well.

 

To play at Yankee Stadium would have been awesome.

Not to ask a silly question but what keeps them scheduling a game for 2012. Are both team schedules set for 2012?

^ Not on 12/31.....cruddy weather.

Dennis says our schedule is done. The real hiccup is a snafu with the NJHSAA, Bosco is only allowed to play a certain % of their games against OOS teams. With a 12 game schedule, that doesn't allow for more than the 3-4 they currently have on the books. There is a vote to change that, coming in January.

WHy don't both schools say to heck with the Federal and State and play anyway?

 

What are they going to do? Fine them? If so I pleadge 1K toward the fine.

I thought this was interesting from the article:

 

Trinity coach Bob Beatty said he would have had several issues playing such a game, including compensation for his assistant coaches and asking players to add extra practices and a game to an already long season.

 

“I would have had to have been told to do it,” Beatty said. “Would I have accepted it on my own? No. But I respect my bosses, and if they had told me to do it, I would have done it.”

I wonder if we will have a 9 game schedule like this year or if Coach Lampley has found someone else that will play us?

Not me.....there are a list of variables that go into such a game.

Same exact schedule as this season. Flip flopping, home/away

I think it could jeopardize their participation in other sports. Neither of them can afford to do that.
