I'm pretty sure we all agree there is a lot to do and choose from. I don't think anyone is questioning the hard work and dedication. It's the process that I struggle with. Especially when I summitted 3 lineman. I just find it troubling that a team like wayne that made it to the championship game has 0 players to make it and that at the tryouts i was told my 6'3 guard made the team but don't get an email about him telling me he has. It's hard to communicate to the parents about what is going on when we don't know ourselves and [B]get the majority of our information from message boards

I'm not trying to pick a fight here, I swear, and I hope I don't come off disrespectful. Message boards are a horrible place to get any information and expect any accuracy. Boards, blogs, etc are opinion based forums that people use for the most part, pertaining to this thread, to vent. If you are a coach and you you have questions then call, text, email a board member and ask directly. There is no better form of communication than the "horse's mouth." All who were involved in the tryouts in Lexington saw the overwhelming turn out. It was truly a sight in and of itself to see, in my opinion, simply awesome. Don't forget that there were also hundreds of film submitted. I know, we all know there was a lot of submissions has been said, but to cut short the people, process, or kids is not what we should be doing here. Every team has "horses" and "studs", every team. Not everybody's best can make the first cut; there simply are not that many spots. I guess I just wish for once this could be an event that we all support from the top down, even if we see flaws, we keep our focus on the big picture. Everybody includes players, coaches, parents, committee, volunteers, family, etc, etc, etc. Let's be positive and not so quick to assume someone or something is incompetent or unfair. All people involved have done the very best they can to include as many children and schools as possible. Congratulations to all kids for an awesome year of middle school football.
