Crest offensive line is big and good. That unit has improved so much as the season has progressed. Defensive line is good. We have our hands full in the trenches.

I respect your opinion I really do, but if a kid can better himself by playing for a better coach or program and the only reason he can’t is because of where his parents live, then I don’t agree. Not the kids fault.
This stance is why we have FV, HH, NG (and for about 10-12 years...Ashbrook) programs in the can. I don't see how others can't see this. If the better athletes/players are annually cherrypicked to go elsewhere....(1)player x feels good because he thinks he is better than he probably is, (2) team/program y feels good because they have added depth/talent/fill a gap and (3) team/program z goes in the toilet because 1-2 of their better players are gone leaving big voids. You proponents have MADE FV, HH, BC, EG,NG, etc,

This is me taking up for HS football. The AAU culture (along with the portal/NIL environment in college) has come in and absolutely RUINED HS Football. This thought process (your comments above) is exactly in line and helps fuel that. I am literally taking up for st. cramers of the world here. Places like SP, Crest....they gonna be fine.

Cramer made a change and hired the right guy and now they are a have instead of the have nots your trying so desperately hard to lump them in with. Cramer was definitely one of those programs losing kids left and right but in the last 2 years kids are coming back and deciding it is a place they want to play. Maybe some of these other have nots should decide to make a change and see the excitement and fan support they get when they do.

Your view is a jaded one. Like the offense SP runs it is a view from the 70’s. Learn to change with the times and quit complaining.

Your right about one thing, Crest will be fine.

3 of the 4 CC schools gets transfers every year. 1 doesn't. I'll let you decide which one doesn't...... They can say they don't, but they do..

LOL - or those have nots could go play in a weaker conference? This is a response to being jaded: It's not jaded to think that SC would be one win better the last two years if they were still playing their old schedule. Since yall are self-proclaimed "haves" now, they should schedule a decent non-conf. opponent and find out if you are.

It isn't a complaint to recognize & display disgust for the erosion of HS football programs and why that is occurring. How that is made into a SC issue when all the others were specifically mentioned I'm not sure.
You shouldn't worry about SP for any reason either. They've been fine and will continue to be fine. Nobody leaves Tennessee to go play at Tusculum.
