  1. Funny, I have heard the same thing about the coach at Boone. Kind of surprised. Not all is as it seemed during the interview process. The perception of the Boone of old is not the reality of Boone today.

     

    There was a time when Boone had players only playing one way and the special team kids could of started at most surrounding high schools, now they are pulling kids up from freshman team to fill the gaps. "Camelot is over".

  2. I was at all the 3 games on Saturday, it was the first time that I had seen CCH varsity this year. I was impressed with the "murders row" of coaching staffs they have assembled. CCH is very fortunate to have Joe Frederick on their sidelines. He is one of the most fierce competitors that I have ever met. Joe was underneath the basket in warm ups rebounding and getting the players pumped and giving sound advice. His chest bump with CVH after two straights steals was priceless!

  3. It has become an endangered species, if the athlete is good enough, the pressures to play AAU, select, or club is intensified. A two sport athlete is tough accomplishment at big schools. Football and Basketball combination is tough because of two different types of conditioning. There are many high school coaches flat out discourage multiple sports. I would love to see a resurgance of 3 sport athletes or a backlash against AAU. Terry Sandfoss, Frank Jacobs and Kevin Hergott were all great 3 sport athletes who excelled from my era.

     

    When was the last time anyone has seen kids playing a pick up game in your neighborhood park? I know that's a different thread.

  4. Having had a daughter who graduated from NDA and was part of the volleyball program, I would not of traded her experience at NDA with the top education and soriety bond at an all girls school.

     

    Saying that, I would take St. Henry's Maureen Kaiser everyday and twice on on Sunday. She has had tremoundous success against the Pandas over the last decade. They seem to beat NDA 1 out of every 5 times, when they should be winning 1 out of every 25 based on talent pool. She is no nonsense and keeps the parent's egos in check.
