Until you walk in the other man's shoes--it is easy to second guess---Ask Bill Belechik of the Patriots about the 4th and 2 call against the Colts last week. I was as mad as anyone at the LCC vs. PC game. But on the way home I got to thinking. Were mistakes made on purpose---the answer was "NO". Would things have been any different if we had it to do over? the answer is "probably" Hindsight is always 20-20. The kids had a great year. let's remember that this program is 5 years old. It has 2 District titles, 1-District runner-up, and 3 regional finals appearances. It has posted back-to-back-toback double digit win seasons. In the last three years it has won 31games and lost 8. I see nothing but "good things" in the future if these kids get dedicated and solve some of their discipline problems. Discipline begins at home and if it doesn't -it will have to be addressed by the coaches(whoever it may be).You can show kids, tell kids, and penalize kids, but in the end it is the kids themselves that have to be the ones to look in the mirror and see if they did all they could to make their respective teams better. It is those who can do that , that will succeed. those who can't will fall by the wayside and be lost in the crowd. Emotion must be tempered with reality. It's easy to get caught up in the minute but you can't let it happen 14 time in a season. Too many unsportsmanlike has been an achilles heel for this team all year. They must grow up and decide how good they want to be.
