Redemption

A friend of mine at NCC told me this freshman score from last night. Does anyone have any details from the game? Any players to look out for on either team in the next few years?

Us Dixie fans have benefitted from those players leaving Ludlow. If those players and I believe another one who went to CovCath had stayed, then Ludlow would have had a really solid team and would compete in 1A with some top teams possibly. So for Ludlow's sake hopefully those players start to stay.

I haven't seen either play to know who looks better. However it sounds like from post on here that the other QB has looked better. Not to mention with the other kid being a year younger, it only makes sense to go with the younger one if they two are about even in the competition.

All that stuff you said is true for the people who are playing and want to play. All that stuff you said is untrue when it comes to if someone should play a sport or not. You don't play a sport for the good of a team. You play a sport because you want to play. Now if you do decide to play, then yes you do play for the man next to you because it is a team sport. However when it comes to choosing to play, only what that person feels matters.

Its not a dramatic jump in competition when the move in 2A only realistically created 2 tougher games a year for them than what they were already playing in the 1A district.

I am not sure how far back these threads go that people can pull up, but I feel like if you go back and look at the threads from the two decent seasons they had. That you will see exactly what I am talking about. I also think if you can find members on this board who were on here back then from the river schools of Bellevue, Ludlow, and Dayton they would say the same thing. Their fans got pretty high and mighty pretty fast with a little success that year. Most of those posters for brossart have disappeared since the move to 2A though and no longer on here. Mustang has been on here through all that, and he was one of the few Brossart faithful on here that didn't get like that. I also disagree with people on here saying they should do away with the program. There is potential still there to have a successful football program IMO.

I have not been a member of this board long, but I have been reading on here for many years. I think one thing that quickslick is getting at is how arrogant fans of Brossart acted once they did have some success, and I even remember seeing that on here. I am not saying it was you, but there were a lot of other Brossart posters back then and they were very arrogant and acting like the program had already become better than traditional programs such as Bellevue, Dayton and Ludlow and even acted like they were better that what Walton was becoming. That did leave a bad taste for people on how quickly fans became arrogant and for no reason, when in reality they still haven't done well even in the past few years against those same 1A schools. I hope to see the Brossart program get on its feet because I too think it can be a good program eventually with the right coach and dedication in place. Can't give players or parents reasons why for failure, need to only be reasons why success can come.

How has Highlands freshman teams been the last few seasons? Have they been as good as they had been in the past? That may help in determining if this is the year to beat Highlands compared to other years.

Getting a bunt down is a lot easier than hitting a sac fly. On a squeeze usually as long as you get it down, the runner will be safe unless there is a great play made by the defense. So nothing wrong with going for the squeeze play with a guy on third in the last inning with only 1 out. However deciding to do it on the very first pitch should be questioned. Who was the batter for Cooper? Is he someone who usually does hit a lot of fly balls to the outfield? If so maybe he could have gave him at least until one strike to hit a sac fly before calling for the squeeze.
