You are probably correct in some of your opinions but respectfully, I wasn’t referring to BW or any other specific program when I was speaking about all the coaches being paraprofessionals. Have no idea nor do I really care about who or how other school’s staffs are put together. Was simply stating how LCA’s is structured. To be clear, I’m 100% positive that no one on LCA’s staff took BW lightly or thought about a running clock. That would be ludicrous. Heck, I heard the HC tell his kids more than once that until someone knocks BW off, that BW is the better team and on Friday, December 3rd, BW proved it was the better team by just enough. I’m sure as a BW fan, you or at least several of your fellow fans (not being arrogant) went into West Carter last year thinking it was going to be a blowout. Ended up taking a gutsy call & tough 2 point conversion to escape. What I know is that both BW & LCA are elite top 10 teams in my opinion and are both capable of beating each other on a given night. What I also know is these kids & coaches are not robots and there is a reason they actually play the games vs. declaring a winner. I realize us fans can be biased and not very objective at times but LCA, like BW and several other’s football programs are about so much more than winning football games. I personally attended LCA’s celebration at the school after the championship game and it was awesome. In the HC’s remarks to the players and their families, he reminded us of the favor the Lord has had on our program and that while we all are disappointed in the outcome, that we should not let the devil still our joy of all of the success they’ve had. He said it’s easy to celebrate winning but when you suffer a tough loss, that’s when your character, faith & relationships kick in. He shared that the game of football is a microcosm of life and to keep things in perspective. Finally, he told them the the sun was coming up tomorrow and that the Lord is still on the throne! We all ended with everyone singing “Victory In Jesus”. From a fan’s standpoint, I generally just know enough to be dangerous about what is really going on with game plans, personnel, etc but what I witnessed first hand the other night makes me proud to be an Eagle fan!
