The thread wasn't intended to bash SV players. The score was shocking. Putting up 79 points is saying something. I was just overwhelmed that they are this improved. Maybe phelps is just really down or maybe SV is pretty good. Regardless, I congratulate SV for the win and glad to see the Wildcats play hard. The players only do what they are told. It's not thier fault they scored 79 points. It's never the players fault. We need to remember that.

SO again congratulations on a big win even though I don't agree that beating "any" team that bad. These are kids are playing the sport they love and learning the game. I just don't understand, bad blood or not, especially at the high school level why you would want to humilate another team. It's a hard feeling to swallow when a far superior team crushes you and will not let up. I know from experience. I will not mention any names. But our school with on 16 football players got beat 88-0 in 1994. The team tried to score 100 on us. It was really humilating and discouraging to the kids. What did it prove though? Nothing! They made their statement in the first 5 minutes scoring 28 points. What i'm saying is you can make statements about the quality of your program without "tripping" the scoreboard.

The coaches spend so much time away from their own families coaching these kids. I feel they don't get nearly enough money for the time and effort they put in.

As any football player will tell you they learn alot about "growing up" from thier coaches. With that said I think coaches should respect other coaches and other programs. They are putting in the effort and the time to. Set good examples for these kids and the fans. Beating a team as bas as possible is not right. After all its just a game. I would much rather be remembered for the person that made a positive difference on a kids future rahter than the person that put up 80 on so and so.
