Verity did take quite a loss today at Lex Cath. I must say that the facilities are top notch and it might have been the first opportunity our guys had to play on artificial turf. Unfortunately, Lex Cath 8th grade coaches weren't nearly as classy as their field. It was apparent in the 4th when we were down 40-8 that LC was going to get their undefeated season and yet the coaches continued to have a hurry-up offense and kept passing the ball all over the field. They were rushing to get as many plays in as possible to try and score yet again. One word-Classless. What ever happened to sportsmanship and taking a knee? Our boys deserved better than that. Maybe a team in the state play-offs can return the favor to LC and teach them some respect for the game and their opponents.

To begin with if the Lex Cath coaches wanted to try and score in the 4th quarter they would of used one or two of their timeouts to stop the clock. What they were doing was practicing their hurry up offense, something that we have barely used this year and it is something we need to work on very much before the playoffs. I'm not a coach but my son told me himself that Coach Rose told them to practice catching the quick outs and step out of bounds. Even tho the clock was continuously running he wanted them to get the feel of stopping the clock in a game type situation. He also told them not to score no matter how easy it might be cause he didn't want us:flush: to look bad. To be honest with you after tht crap you guys pulled on us today( when you pulled into the parking lot without your 8th grade team, who was scheduled to play at 1:30 and instead you decided you would make us play our 7th grade team first which means our 7th graders who have to start 8th grade games because we only have seven 8th graders altogether, wouldn't get to play both games. You are not the first team to pull that crap but you are the first team who was the visiting team that made us choose which game ( 7th or 8th) that we play first. So if you got your feelings hurt because we ran a few hurry up 5 and 10 yd out passes then I'll give you two quarters so you can call somebody twice that cares.
