I stayed up way too late reading old posts. I've missed so much, but am here now! I hope this "big announcement" is about a field also, but if this is in reference to a city/county bowl then I have an opinion about it.
When I was a child, my brother and sisters would go trick-or-treating with those big orange pumpkins and go from house to house like kids do. When we got home, one of my sisters would say, "Hey, I got a great idea! Let's poor all our candy into one pot!" Guess what? Then she would get to eat all the homemade candy, all the Reece Cups, popcorn balls, ect. We would get the black licorice.:cry:
"Hey, HCHS, let's have a bowl game and we will make a lot of money for the whoooooooole county!":rolleyes: Really? How 'bout you eat what's in your pumpkin and we eat what's in ours?!
It is absolutely Coach Larkey's decision who he will schedule his games with. Our coach has already arranged a series with Bell Co. for the next couple of years which will be a HUGE gate. The city folks are invited to attend. Coach Larkey might schedule a city/county bowl game, but it won't be because he needs the money for HIS program. IMO, ego's should have been laid aside THIS year for a game to happen. Why wait 3 years? We needed games this year from the 5th grade up. Where was the love then? It's the same old song and dance. Why can't we just all get along and do what's best for the children (As LONG AS IT IS ON MY TERMS)? Regardless, Coach Larkey will make the right decision based on his experience and wisdom. Can you feel the love now?!
I am so hopeful and optimistic for this new program!
Go Black Bears!
