[Stardust]

Well I happen to have coached in the top state in te country for high school football so I believe I know a little bit about what goes on in high school football. Where I coached we didn't have to leave the state for top competition we only had to drive over to Orlando or down to Miami to play tougher schools than what is on your schedule so before you act like you're God's gift to the coaching profession because you are an assistant at a private school in Kentucky that hand picks their players I'd find out the background of who you're arguing first. Second I believe I'd try to use proper grammar before I made an argument as to not look foolish. Thirdly you are downgrading 14-15 year old kids because I guess it makes you feel better about yourself. I know exactly what's going on in this program because I know a lot of the people involved in it. They play kids according to grade ahead of ability. They also have a coach in place to play certain kids because the superintendent wants them to. You do have a freedom of speech I agree. But what you don't have is the right to get on a message board and downgrade a kid because its convienent to type on a computer. These kids worked hard and should be proud of what they've accomplished. Winning at any level should be celebrated. Is JV something coaches sit up at night worrying about? No. But you can develop a winning mentality at this level and use it as you go to varsity. And to say that all winning JV teams are bad varsity is ignorant and just a contrarion response to the post. I've seen plenty of winning JV teams that go on to be winning varsity teams. I've seen coaches not play good JV kids that could contribute on varsity for many reasons. It's pathetic that an adult gets on sites like this and attacks kids. You hide behind a screen name and the line "I don't use names" like it makes it right. People like you are what makes the coaching profession worse. Have a little bit of ethics and morals and show some professionalism by not posting about teams you don't coach. If you aren't in the meeting room you don't know what's going on.

Your rant is completely self serving to you and you alone. You know well enough that I never downplayed individuals. And, if you truly have coached, you know exactly what my point was in these posts, so step down from whatever agenda you are attempting to MAKE UP! There are ZERO, count them, ZERO - records kept for Fresman and JV teams. let me reiterate, the State does not keep one statistic on those levels. There is ONLY one level that statistics, records, and recognition is kept - Varisty. Thus, every school in Kentucky (or Florida ) builds programs that benefit the Varsity level only. I can promise you - No, I can Guarentee you, that your school did not have a ticker tape parade of a JV undefeated season! I can guarantee you that no school that you coached at has their JV teams win/loss record from last year, much less 5, 10, 25 years ago! A JV team is 100% about development. That development is rewarded at one level, and it is the level that every student athlete works their tail off for to make a difference, the Varsity level. I appreciate your grandiose comments, but you know exactly what I meant in my post! I appreciate you playing, please play again
