Maybe I did but not sure how. Maybe your friend was at a different field. I was there at 4:45. Other people in the stands were talking about it was well

I was quite saddened and disappointed last night at WV when no national anthem was played prior to the start of the games. I have to honestly say, this is a first

Twenhofel 6/7 grade beat Ludlow last night 13-6

How awesome it was for us to be a part of that game. I could tell by his smiles after the game how excited he was. We wish him the best. Football is more than a game in many of our eyes.

I am one of the Twenhofel coaches that everyone would like to hear from. Let me start by saying that we try to teach things about football and life that are way more important than the score of a football game. I along with all of our coaches have been around this great game for a very long time. We all have seen kids throw up before games, during games, after games, at practice you name it. You claim nerves are the reason. I have never seen a player still nervous in the 3rd quarter with a 34-6 lead! We have no problem with the vomit, do it in a trash can, the weeds, bathroom, anywhere except the field of play and on yourself. We have to protect our players from whatever, PERIOD... I am not going to down play Ludlow at all, they should win the small school division with ease. Do yourself a favor and stop feeling like everyone is out to get poor ole Ludlow, that's not the case. Many of my friends and family have coached for your program, all are very good guys. We played that game with all 6th and 7th grade players, we had several 6th graders starting and Ludlow without a doubt has a very good team this year. With that being said, do you think that we really thought we had a shot of winning that game? Our goal was to keep it respectable. After the 3rd quarter vomit issue, our coaching staff decided that we had to step in and protect our kids if the referees and Ludlow's staff were not going to. We brought it to the white hats attention several times before that and he did nothing. We met at the 50 yard line with Ludlow's coaches who absolutely refused to remove the kid from the game, including the varsity coach. 34-6 lead, great sportsmanship guys. You had 20 players out there that day, no other player can play tailback for a few plays while he changes his clothes? 34-6 and our starters are on the sideline, time to get some of the other kids some reps. I understand that not all staffs believe in the same things, to each there own. To rjs440, thank you for your comments. Woodland asked us if we minded letting the kid you are talking about score a touchdown, kuddos to them for even asking. WE said ABSOLUTELY, put him in now. I believe we were up 3 touchdowns at that time and had our 2's in. After the kick-off, we threw an interception which made it a 6 point game, who cares... Hopefully it made that kid feel good about himself if even for just a little while, I know it did for us and we would be happy to do it again even if we were only winning by 1 touchdown. It's more than a game guys, it's life.
