hey just a fact
btw why cant your team score? they are the lowest scoring one seed I ever saw
Fancave – I am not rooting for one team or another – just love HS football – and by the way someone needs to take you out back to the woodshed – I hope your son does not read your horrible comment that insults a HS team for winning a playoff spot while following the schedule that they were given. And this comment “I have already been told they are not going to let up when it gets ugly because they realize these morons that came up with this system need to be exposed!” is disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself _ i know your son will be if he reads your post.
Hi guys long time. Been crazy here. Had a death in the family. All ok in the immediate household now. We’re getting ready for Carmel vs PAC. I’m crossing everything an sending prayers to all the gods and diety’s I can think of ( an that’s a lot trust me).
PPR I’m not the biggest New Ro fan but please please kick them in the arse and tell them to hand out a thumper to MMK.
Fresnobob,
That was the craziest most incoherent rant I’ve ever heard. This isn’t all about you and your son. Any senior is upset when their season ends, whether they went 5-1 or 0-6. The difference is not all of their parents come onto these blogs and complain for them. This is the real world and not everything can go your way.
AVNGANGL,
GOOD LUCK
Haywood.
Thanks, this is more then likely my sons last HS game ever. His shoulder needs tending to ASAP. But he won’t here of it being apart of this game. I hope they do good today. I hope that no matter what they walk off that field with their heads held high. They are an amazing group of young men and a pleasure to have watched grow up. No matter what happens to me and other parents they’ve already won the respect and admiration of those who’ve come to know them.
Just. If there is weighting it has to occur at the end of the season and it should only be fo wins. Why should anyone get points associated with the preseason rankings of WP or Arlington for instance? That doesn’t make any sense. And why should you get credit for losing no matter who you play. That also doesn’t make sense. No prizes are handed out for almost or shoulda coulda woulda. Haven’t done the math yet but I have a feeling the AA results would be similar to the final results if you weighted by regular season standings based on won lost record… Or better yet take the piner score and subtract the winning % of the team and you get the strength of schedule of the teams you beat because ultimately football is about winning not almost.
I was there, why should you be given an easy schedule then get rewarded? That makes sense?
Parent who is your team so I can get a good laugh? Because I know your team has not won the Section Chip 8 times since 2000!!!!
That is how good the offense is or needs to be. Because at New Ro, they preach Defense and special teams!! every single year they are second to none!
Crazy , I don’t give a crap what you think! I say what I feel and I speak facts. Take a hike!
Crazy , And as far as that woodshed comment goes, anytime, anyplace and if I were you I’d bring some friends
Want to fix this moronic 3 games in 15 days playoff system? Just have the family of 1 kid who gets hurt during the playoffs sue the pants off Section 1 administrators and the AD’s who approved it!! It cannot be safe for a 16-17 yr old kid to play that many games and take them many hits in such a short period of time. There is no recovery time becuase as soon as the 1st game ends the kids are practicing for the next game 4 days away!! That is crazy!!!!
Also, isn’t there a Section 1 rule that you cannot play or practice 7 days in a row??? What about doing it for 15 staight days???
AV,
We’re sorry for your loss. I hope your son enjoys this experiences and uses it as a means to appreciate the greater life in general moving forward. Enjoy this lovely day.
Fancave,
What happened to the old fashioned 1 on 1? Why bring friends if you’re the tough guy I think you are? Too many weapons and jumping going on. At least we could solve differences with the fists, knees and elbows w/out having to worry about the extra nonsense and keep it moving in a past life.
To all of you that are saying you shouldnt get credit for almost winning and you should have won the games you lost and you would be in just like saunders did…. Are you people serious?! No kidding wins are the end all. However the system was predicated on strength of schedule…..
They ranked the teams! And set up the schedule by putting the best vs the best! They wanted to weight but it never happened. and by the way the coaches that u say r responsible said this was going to happen. the committee was attempting to fix it.
again… the teams were ranked! for fun?! no….When you do that you MUST have an appropriate scoring acountability!
Then they put the top ranked against each other while the lower ranked played each other.
The lower ranked teams had fabulous seasons and beat a few middle of the roaders. The toppers got to knock each other off. No one is saying they should be section champs…. But they want their rightful chance in the playoffs. Getting in the playoffs is a goal these kids work relentlessly for. How dare u say all you had to do was beat po or somers! The idea is thats all anybody has to do!!!! So what if you cant get out???? Then i assure you of this saunders blue… Your team is out too!
Reminder the section owes it to our players to have a fair system in place. If this system is back you are encouraging teams. Ot to play the tough games and fight for a low rank! Stop social promotion.
Saunders… Beating spring valley was your greatest win. You too lost the game you should have won… Brewster!!! You sir, have some nerve criticizing yorktown fans. Any of the top ranked teams including Eastchester who had the misfortune of only playing top ranked schools would be 5-1 or BETTER with your sched.
You are callin us out saying we believe we were supposed or expected to lose to po and somers. trust me our program always expects to win. the system based on rank and scheduling only top ranked teams should have accounted for it…..that is obviously what is meant by that.
we r not callin you out…However we r calling the system out. So stop the banter and admit that town and jj kids have been failed by a bad system. As a football fan i recogniZe that 5-1 is a nice thing for a program. Ignoring that there is an inequity between schedules is indeed ignorant. If u cant speak to that you should consider yourself part of the problem.
Either way i am sure you will get a sticker too.
Hey statesman
Thanks. My son is done shoulder didn’t hold up at all. He needs surgery. However I am so very very proud of him. He had always played with honor an grace since he was in third grade. He’ll do we’ll in college an he wants to coach someday. For now it’s the rest of his senior year then college. He wants to study political science and criminal justice. Maybe law school after. I know he’ll do well an who knows 10 years or so from now Prince will still be in his Moms basement blogging about my son being a great coach.?????
Avg angel, prince will not be in his momma’s basement, he will be with me pouring water on the sidelines while ur son coaches!!!
Fancave Please do not show your postings to your son although I am sad that he probably already has seen them. Good luck to u out at the shed….
Haha Just
My son won’t mind he used to have the basement bedroom that flooded for half his life. He’s used to wearing hip waders. LOL
I’m just real proud of him. I think he’s planning on going to the final games if he’s not in shoulder cast from surgery.
kids lose
all my of posts have been along the lines of ‘u should have won to punch your ticket’ and i gave the respect to the top tier teams saying who the best is. but either way, we dont expect to lose thursday, were coming to win the damn game
clearly your upset, either way you werent winning ANYTHING, u ALREADY had a change, MAKE THAT 2 CHANCES, go get a box of tissues and watch some playoff ball!
Crazy, Please do not concern yourself about my son. Believe me, he would be right along side me at your woodshed. He is disappointed he is not in the playoffs but knows he doesn’t deserve it because he played the best all year and got beat. He is also bitter because he knows one team in particular who he scrimmaged over the summer and destroyed is going and doesn’t deserve it because they played no one all year. That’s why North Rockland needs to and will send a message. The system in AA is disgusting! Threaten to go in to a development league and they will give you a nice soft schedule to keep you around. Disgusting!!! I SPEAK THE TRUTH!!!!
Cant wait to Saunders gets spanked when they finally play a real team. Samefor Mamro. And truth great story for both programs but when their fanz come on here, I want to throw up my dinner!!!!
“Threaten to go in to a development league and they will give you a nice soft schedule to keep you around. Disgusting!!! I SPEAK THE TRUTH!!!!
”
Fancave they should hand out Teddy Bears to these teams too!
AvgAngle, congrats to your son. Hopefully he decides to play at the next level. Though depends on how much love he has for the game. I know a lot of guys who decided not to play who regret that decision. Hopefully everything goes ok for him surgery wise.
