Okay, can all you nay sayers give it a break! I have known Mike for about 25 plus years, he like everyone on this forum lives chapters in their lifes. He has endured hours of depositions on law suits for matters on and off the field, related to some of his players. Once he had such a great coaching career going, then he had live up to the pressures of everyones expectations. He not only had the constant pressure of winning every week but, winning a champioship every year. He is probably one the the most humble people I know, he doesn't like all the praise and awards. I have had the honor of two of my children having him as a teacher and one a coach. If you ever really watched Mike you could tell he really loves kids, thats why Beechwood football did as well as it did. Mike didn't always have the fastest, biggest or talented kids play for him, however, he could always get average players to play above their ability and get great players involved in leadership. Why did kids feel like they wanted to buy into this, they knew he loved them and cared about them. I can only imagine the numbers of times kids maybe remember something that he taught them, not about football but life or pride. He is in a chapter in his life that is equally difficult, aren't we all at some point in our lives? Please understand we all don't have all the answers especially me, but please just give him a pass for a while, he will be back someday, but not with undue pressures from others. We are all Americans, BGPers and sports fans, it time to stand behind someone instead of doubting them. Good Luck Mike!

However with that said, I hate it when an offical says, "if you think you can do better". YOU ARE GETTING PAID, if you want to do it, then do it, but just because I have no desire to officiate does not do away with my right to voice my opinion on the job you signed up for and are getting paid to do. Very well put!:thumb:

Great, we just finished a grueling game of 11 on 16!

Yes, Dominic is the real deal! He has all the size, talent and a great understanding of the game. He also has been to my house and is truly a great kid. It is refreshing to see someone have all these things and be humble. Good Luck Dom, you have a great future ahead of you, I am glad your a red and white tiger!

Hey let me tell you , that when kids that are the last to get in finally get the chance. They try their hardest, they don't do it because they think its funny or humilating. Beechwood even went for it rather than punt or try a field goal on forth down. The play was a simple dive play. Was Beechwood supposed to just stop snapping the ball? Your comment is uncalled for, Beechwood has nothing but respect for the first year team of the Mustangs , and always play with class, no mater who their opponent is.

:thumb: Very well done, I feel very caught up every week after the Scribe's post. Thanks for your dedication!

We all know that to be a Beechwood starting lineman you just can't ( do almost nothing). If he was not playing his position correctly why didn't Dayton simply run over him and score on every drive?

For the last three weeks, the Beechies have heard about how the team they will face has all this team speed. Well they have team speed also! The team speed they face really doesn't matter because it is hard to be fast when your on your back. Nice game panthers, Good Luck.

Beechwood BIG!!!!!!!!!!!

Beechwood pulled starters at the half!

Beechwood BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thoughts on the game?
