It’s very easy for folks, especially those that have always looked down upon athletics, to yell “sports aren’t necessary”. That stance is shortsighted. The importance of organized team sports, like football, go beyond simply satisfying the compulsory need for competition.

Following Aaron Rodgers’ Achilles tear, GM Joe Douglas is doing his due diligence on veteran QBs to backup Zach Wilson.

Chad Henne “truthers” are as pathetic as every other group that overuses that term.
He moved into the Wilson school district in ELEMENTARY school.
Dude is in his 15th year in the NFL & hasn’t worn a Wilson football jersey in 19 years.
Get over it. 🤪
What a 3-year run for
@wilsonfh2019
: 66-9 overall (3 of those Ls to Lower Dauphin), 29-1 regular season League play. 25-3 overall this season, and all 3 losses came to teams who played in the 1A/2A/3A State Championship games. Title EARNED. 🏆

Friendship, dedication, discipline, accountability, responsibility, respect for leadership, becoming a leader, overcoming adversity, pride, organization, problem solving, etc. are all taught and refined in sport settings. Some basic principles and life lessons from athletics.
Here's a fun stats nugget that was overlooked last week...
Wilson's win @ Hempfield gave Doug Dahms 100 wins against LL1 opponents as Head Coach. The victory vs Manheim Township last night was

. His 16 season record vs Section 1 teams?

#NeverQuit
And it’s a shame that with so much focus placed on individuals “mental health” of late, sports as therapy apparently is frowned upon or not valid? Last I checked you couldn’t dictate how someone copes with stress. Sports serve as a distraction and safe means of release.
A big milestone for us starts today at the day job as

Said it before and I’ll say it again - I want high school sports to be played this Fall, SAFELY. In order for that to happen everyone must do just a few simple things: wear a mask, stay apart when possible, avoid (non-team) gatherings, wash your hands. It’s not difficult!
What is it with the Horace family on 11/16???

It was refreshing last night to watch an elected governing body thoughtfully discuss the merits of a proposal, without unnecessarily devolving into a game of politics. You could tell that they put aside knee-jerk reactions, did research, and considered what the community wanted.
The “greatest of all-time” is thrown around far too often nowadays but it’s the only fitting way to describe the man. He’s on the Rushmore of

My daughters just saw the Wilson Bulldog mascot in the back seat of a car at the Penn Ave Rita’s/McDonald’s intersection and FREAKED out, like they saw Santa or the Easter Bunny.

We don’t know the whole story because no one is talking, but it’s easy to connect the dots. And based on those assumptions, this is pathetic from the decision makers at RSD. Coach Perez was doing what all coaches should do - advocating for their players. Too bad few others did.
Got my custom one-of-a-kind “Battle for Berks” shirt on today, complete with back print of every game score between

I am unable to explain the thought process. Makes very little sense to me. Schools developed health & safety protocols for a reason and they’ve been operating for over a month with those plans in place. Why delay?

Politicians do not care about you. They care about being elected/re-elected. Reinforced after yesterday’s vote. Perhaps minor/“unnecessary” bill to some, but one that had significant bipartisan support, dies because 25 “public servants” decided to worry about Party vs The People.
Pretty amazing demonstration of the proper way to assemble today. Protesters marched from

@AvantiLockhart
needs 116 yards in the Semis on Friday to hit 1,000 on the season. He has rushed 138 times for 884 yards & 18 TDs. That’s 6.4 yards/carry, and he has had to earn them all. Incredibly tough running all season. 😤🏈
Ever-changing media/journalism industry has made it clear that high schools need to take it upon themselves to report on their teams & promote/market their student-athletes. Traditional ways disappearing; we saw it here in 2019 & now it’s happened in Lancaster. Again.
