As a mother, I understand that it is easy to become sensitive when you believe that your child is not getting the recognition he or she deserves, but come on? Everyone here has talked about the line playing well, and, in fact, the line as a whole was named player of the game a couple of times this year! We may not always call these kids out by name, but any true football fan knows that these children are the meat and potatoes of your team! Everyone appreciates their contribution, but, often, there are too many special kids to list them all when in discussion.... no one has ever discounted the line for anything they have accomplished.... so, I will say it again, there are big shoes to fill on the line... I hope the young'uns can play with as much heart and desire as these graduating seniors!

Thanks so much PHS and I know that the group that is left with the legacy will do just that because I know these boys all too well! They are good guys that play with much heart! As for the sensitive issue...I think anyone that knows me or my son would vouch for the fact that recognition is not and issue! I have read EKU's post for years and felt him to be "on the nose" in most case scenerios; however, I didn't see the reasoning of naming one child on that line and not the other senior members when all three of them were equally as effective. Like I said...I have known these boys very well and they each feel like sons of mine...I have been with most of them for years...They are at my house or my son at theirs...I have fed them on Thursdays for four yrs...So, yes I do tend to want to take up for one of them when I feel as if they are being slighted. They get on this site and read these post too! Although, I have advised them not to pay attention to what people say on here...lol...Good thing they haven't or we wouldnt have made it past the first round of playoffs! Bottom line...they are kids!! Give credit where its due! Even if you have to take the time to type a few more words! Just because they are a unit..they have names and work equally as hard!!! Call me picky if you want, but sensitive I am not! I stand firm on the idea that each child should be recognized for their individual contributions. When you start name individuals in a dynamic then don't leave someone out...especially if they are a major contributing factor...
