Are u sure it isn't "inner city" and not "inter city"

Any coach scared to pray publicly with his team is just making his wife happy. Doesn't want to ruin the comfortable lifestyle they have

Nothing specil about how to defend it. Just need the personnell.

Apparently Ty does know what he is doing, they won handily.

You must be someone that Barth got rid of as he was taking over, or someone whose kid doesn't play as much as you'd like. A good friend of mine, Woody McMillen, said that when WV started football, they were trying to get anyone who ever played a sport to help, because the community had no football background. Woody stepped away for personal reasons, allowing barth to step in. Now Barth has all types of good football help on his staff. Lose the grudge.

Explain "great situation"

Very much the case. They love their baseball and hoops in that town. Good football is merely a rumor.

Similar to NY state playoff. Why is KY, doing what NY does in football?:idunno:

This would be the second playoff appearance for WV

Very perplexing for me. I don't like it, and I would not have done it. But I see why he did it. On a similar note, I once saw a school down 30 or 40 in the final minute, continue to blitz the second and third stringers of the winning team; call a timeout - not get guys in, but to try to score again as they would get the ball near midfield. That is classless.

that has an unfireable assistant? When I say unfireable, I mean the guy has so much suction with administration and could possibly usurp you whenever he feels like it. Like the second you and he disagree on something. There are several situation like this statewide. No names of schools or personnel involved. Just want to know who would take such a job? I'd have to pass on the job, knowing a start is a start. But I personally know of such a situation.

All I have in this world ar emy balls and my word. And I don't break em for nobody."

Not true. nOT ATHLETIC DECISIONS, principals are emrely kept abreast of athletic endeavors. The AD does his/her job and the principals run the school, although they are on the same level of the food chain in a public district.

There are no pros to this situation. The biggest con, speaking as an educator, is that the principal and or superientendent or school board will have to step in a fire a lousy or underperforming or reckless coach, and take time away from serious educational matters. I say this because I am a teacher who happens to have a part time job as a coach, and not a coach who has a full-time side hustle as a teacher, like many do. The educational aspect of what I do is paramount to me, and that is who I am, and the school I am an assistant coach at is doing very well. Just figured I'd offer that up. The AD should never be a head coach. How can be objective in evaluating himself? And since he is the AD, he is a district administrator and administrators aren't in the business of jamming each other up, so that pretty much removes the principal and all assistant principals from stepping in removing an ineffective coach. In fact, I believe that at most public districts, the principal and AD are all on the same level of the school distict chain of command of hierarchy if you will. I maybe wrong, but I know this is the case at my school. And yes, by nature they are going to favor their sport. It would be human nature. The AD is going to give everyone else the bare minimum, bread and butter, while he eats lobster and shrimp with his team. Proverbially speaking.

Highlands would do well against similar sized schools in Ohio such as Indian Hill, Reading, Wyoming, Kings or Edgewood. In fact, Highlands would win most leagues of teams their size. Now, relatively speaking in terms of the state of Ohio, Cincinnati is a big city. Cincinnati is really about the big schools. The best athletes in Cincy go to the big schools (GCL-South schools and Colerain; the Lakotas, Middletown, etc.) Now if Highlands were to play traditional Ohio powers of their size on an annual basis, such as Toledo St. John; Youngstown Cardinal Mooney or even C.A.P.E. from back in the day, Highlands wouldn't do as well. I respect Highlands, but you cannot play big teams and use the excuse that the bigger school has more boys when they beat you. You do this all the time.

How'd it go? Give us a glimpse of the games. Standouts and scores.

Hate to say it, but I see a lot of the obvious. What about distractions. For those of you that had your first taste of a woman in 10-12 grade, then you know sex drugs and alcohol can play a huge effect on a teams success It sometimes blinds young men. Sometimes, sex can ruin a young man. Look no further than He Got Game. Sure a basketball movie, but the life lessons Roger Gunivere Smith lays on Ray Allen on the way to school are priceless. The mods won't let me post his comments, and paraphrasing them do them no justice.

I'd say closer to 17-20 if you have good coaches who can coach kids up even a modest amount. But why split hairs, ya know? But no, there is not consistently 20 or more guys playing regularly on these 5-6 A schools frosh teams, as opposed to most of their varsity programs. Jr. high, or High School or even JV

:idunno: uhhh no, good game, but not that interesting to the masses, maybe the locals, but not the masses.:idunno:

:banana:This has to be the best reply to a thread ever on this site, or at least in the to 5-10. The reasons are the historical context behind the reply, and the simple fact that he is dead right. There is no clear cut definition of running up the score, and every scenario of scoring during a blowout is different. You have to see the actual gameplay and coaching to determine running up the score. I agree with another poster, first 3 quarters are fair game.

Who was on the scedule during thos winning and losing years. As a supporter of the real CC, you could see when brossart was here, we were doomed, early. Many in the other CC feel the same now.

I remember it being like 91-92 degrees one day during the second part of a double session, and our head coach saying it isn't hot enough. I think it has something to do with these youths and their general makeup. Everything from the baby formulas all the way to their genuinely indoor, sedentary culture lead up to their problems

This isn't your father's Holmes or Covington for that matter. Why replace him with a guy who was lured out of retirement to be an assistant basketball coach? At some point, it's OK to hire fresh young faces.

What types of offenses and defenses is he expected to run? I somehow heard something about a spread like offense. Please tell me they were talking about a different person.
