LOL. I can take it how I want. When the best players in the district and not selected as all district, I consider the all district team to be a joke. IMO - that's going on the offensive.

I guess it is silly to expect honesty in today's society. You disagree with me that the best players, regardless of what team they play on, should be recognized. I'm OK with that.

The best players in the district should be all district. Period.

Plus an interception. :lol:

Oops. I forgot... 2 K's.

Then don't call it All District. Call it "The list where each coach get's to pick 4 players to put on a list" List. :thumb: Often times, Trinity kids that should be all district are not good enough to be all state, etc.

My All District Team would include the following Trinity players: QB, RB, 3 WR, 2 OL, 2 DB, 1 DL.

So you are saying the All District awards do not always go to the best players in the district? I agree. If you want to have a "feel good about yourself" team, let's create it. Call it an All Senior team, or all scout team, etc. But if these players on the All District team are supposed to represent the best of the best in the District, it a complete joke.

But it is not for the "Most-Most Valuable Player of XYZ Team" award. It is the "Player of the Year" for the district. BTW - I can accept KJ getting this award.

And Trinity does not dominate the District? Come on, it's a joke.

All District has always been anti-Trinity. There are a ton of players that don't make All District, but then go on to be All Region, County, State, etc. It's a joke.

KJ Black was selected as District Player of the Year. :sssh:

East of I-75...

Ummm... Clark Co 1991. THE BEST BACKFIELD EVER

When lies are being spread and accepted as truth about something you love, I guess you put your head in the sand.

Get your facts straight ram95. The website says, and I quote: "Shadowing at Manual is ONLY for Private School students in the 8th grade." Admissions > Shadowing So you are saying public school children can shadow. Is there a special “pass” they must attain first? Who selects the children that get to shadow? What is the criteria? Why is Manual targeting Private School kids? I wonder how many private school children take the place of public school children? Who selects the children that get accepted? If I were a parent of a public school child that did not get “accepted”… LOL!!!!

How do we clear something up that is not true when neither side can provide proof? When something is unproven, is being considered true, and is being used to push an agenda, it's pretty obvious the accusers wish only harm on the other side.

Funny - you're accusing us of cheating, and then you say we need to work together. Sure, when is the first meeting.

Thanks for the link. This is VERY INTERESTING!!! “Students are selected to attend duPont Manual in a competitive process that evaluates achievement test scores, academic achievement, personal essays, teacher recommendations, as well as portfolios and performing arts auditions. Jefferson County residents are not charged tuition; however, tuition is charged for out-of-county students.” I also see there is a Shadowing Program, and guess what. It’s ONLY FOR PRIVATE SCHOOL KIDS. So the requirements are: 1. Complete an application. 2. Write an essay answering “If you were to describe yourself by a quotation, which quotation would you select and why?” 3. Complete an activities and interest form. I wonder if Football, Soccer, etc receives special attention? 4. Have two people fill out a recommendation form. I guess if one is Coach Nichols, that would help. Funny. I thought this was going to be hard to get into Manual. I wonder WHO is responsible to SELECTING what children are granted ADMISION to Manual? If I were a parent of a child that wanted to attend an actual magnet program, but that space was given to a child to attend “High School University” that listed football/soccer as an interest on their activity form, I’d be REAL upset. Keep thinking your school is being cheated by those Catholic Schools. This stuff is really sad.

Then guess what. Too bad. We will never be able to prove our innocents, just like you will never be able to prove our guilt. Kick us out. Silly us. We thought this was about how the publics could not compete b/c they: 1. Are not good enough 2. Don't have the numbers 3. Don't have the facilities 4. Don't have the coaches 5. Etc... Why didn't you just come out and say you want to throw us out because we pay out players, get their parents jobs, etc.

Help me out here... Just how does a kid get into Manual High? Entrance exam? Have to "know someone"? What?

Is there no traditional or "non-gifted" tract for students at Manual? Are you saying every student at Manual is considered "gifted"? If so, the recent improvements in the football program are even more impressive. Thanks!

Thanks for joining us H. I was wondering, how many Catholic grade school kids play for your football team? For that matter, how many "non-traditional" middle school kids play for your football team?

How many sponsored kids are at Manual?

Good one.
