I normally will not comment on these sites but I feel I need to comment...I am so tired of reading the comments made about the Russell team having no heart. Most of you don't have kids on the team so what you think you know is only hear say...there are a handfull of these kids that have the biggest heart for the game that you will ever know, but when you have students, teachers(yes teachers) and one of your own team captains constantly telling you that you stink and you will be lucky to win any games, it kind of gets you down. And what alot of you don't know is that one of the captains kept telling the boys while on the field friday night that they stink and that he wants to loose. The coaches are aware of this kid and have been aware alllllll year and let it go so long that it almost came to blows on friday. There has been only jelousy from this kid all year and like someone else said, it spreads like a cancer. but what can you expect when you dont come to practice for a week at a time and the expect to be played as much as the ones that show up sick, hurt etc.I feel the coaching staff should take most of the blame on how this year turned out because they were fully aware of the problem and did nothing to my knowledge to correct it. I have always had respect for the coaching staff but this year I have been let down. You have to instill some disipline, you cant let a kid cuss you out and turn the other cheek, which happened several times this year. This one boy disrespected his entire team, coaches and community on Friday. If you knew the whole story you wouldn't believe it. he cussed everyone from the trainer to coach Mcglone.:mad:

Didn't want to go there but maybe it needs to be.
This cancer has been brewing for yrs now and it finally came to head. The coaches, teachers, school, AD, and many parents,players, all new about it. Why this was over looked for so many years no one nows. Maybe they should have let him be a Rambler like he wanted yrs ago. When you stand in the AD office and put your coaches,school,and who ever else down and use language that is not acceptable and this player still wears the Maroon & Gold.
Black mark on the school and all those involved. Just hope that it did not wear off on next yrs team. Did anybody else see what happened after the game when the team was going into the locker room. How can a parent allow their kid talk to a coach or other players and parents and not take control????????
There were Russell Alumnis, Coaches, parents, future Red Devils (kids), players all seen this and heard all the profanity used by this player.
