Honestly cannot believe we got through that HS football season and to the finish line tonight. It was weird, it was different, and all the ADs out there deserve a raise for their efforts to keep it truckin’ along. The PIAA stood its ground and it was a success.

It’s a goddamn AAU game. AAU is what’s wrong with hoops. This guy should never be in a gym again. No wonder nobody wants to ref and deal with an asshole like this
Today at my son’s AAU game at Spookynook. The opposing team coach swung at the ref. Coach was thrown out.

Why Franklin is a moron: you have three TOs and you’re deep in UK territory, down six. You go for that fourth down. You factor field position there with three TOs. He can’t coach in big games, dude has zero sack in big games.

Coaches, if we (broadcasters) ask you for your lineup (or even a two-deep), plz send it. Don’t make us beg. We aren’t sharing anything. We are trying to do our jobs. And we need the time to prepare much like you guys do too. You wouldn’t prep for a game in one day, neither do we.

No District 6 title game. District 3 champ gets a bye week before they play the state semifinal. St. Joe’s Prep played only 8 games, of which FIVE count. So technically they are 5-0. What a broke ass system this 6 class stuff is

You want to blame anyone for this fiasco, look no further than how much Hershey was charging D3 to hold these games. Some can’t say this but I can. It’s their fault we are in the position we are in because of their incessant greed.

The next time any of you loudmouth parents who want to rip, criticize, yell at and text HS coaches shitty messages before, during and after a game, you remember this story and that in most cases, your kids’ coach is a parent too.
Bart Gibbon helped the Hanover boys' basketball team have a turnaround season this winter. But the head coach has decided his family needs him too much for him to keep coaching. Story:

The other thing here that nobody is discussing at length is the negative impact no sports has on the actual kid. Lots need them for a path to college, lots need them in school simply to have the motivating factor to study and work hard. Take that away from a fragile gen?
Parents should be allowed to see their children play sports.
