[#1 Blackcat Fan]

Let me start this off by letting everyone know I do NOT have a kid that plays football anymore. I am many years removed from having a kid playing grade school football not to mention when I did the kid rarely left the field unless it was a blowout game either way.

I am still a fan of grade school football and I try to take in a couple games weekly. Although I am a Prestonsburg Blackcat fan I have only been to one of their grade school games this year, so I am not referring to their program either. Just wanted to clear those facts up before I went on my rant.

I have dabbled in coaching at the grade school level in the past. During that time I have been on both ends of a blowout. When we was in a blowout out, no matter which end, we made sure each and every kid got in the game. All kids come to practice each day and all put in the same amount of time. I understand kids have different skill levels and that's why you have your starters and your bench, but during a blowout when a game is out of hand each kid on that team should see some action on the field. I have been to several such games this year that team A would be up 20+ points over team B with 2-3 minutes left in the game, and team A on offense would have their bench in while team B would still have their starters in the game. Come on you team B coaches, let the guys standing on the sidelines 90% of the time that put in as much work as the guys on the field 90% of the time, have those last 2-3 minutes of the game.
