    Cedar Catholic vs Centura Semifinal Controversy

    i am confused. This sounds like a different story than I heard. I was not at the game. I was told there was a discrepency between the three scorebooks and the scoreboard. If it was just complaints about a missed call, I agree this has gone on too long. If the Noecker girl was incorrectly...

    Cedar Catholic vs Centura Semifinal Controversy

    Exactly why I was hesitant to comment at all. Would have made a difference? Wouldn't have made a difference? Doesn't matter, we are not going to change it. I was merely taking exception with blaming the coaching staff for this aspect of the game. If we want blame the staff for something, we...

    Cedar Catholic vs Centura Semifinal Controversy

    So that is what I understood. And after the play the coach looked at the score board and saw that #20 was assesed the foul. Everything looked correct. In the fourth quarter after the next foul #2 went from 3 to 5 fouls, presumably because the official score keeper told the clock operator you...

    Cedar Catholic vs Centura Semifinal Controversy

    HighPlains, either you or I are not understanding what happened. I agree that if the scoreboard showed a foul incorrectly given to the wrong person, the bench should catch that immediately. But that is not what happened in ACICOD's description. I have not watched any replays. Maybe someone...

    Cedar Catholic vs Centura Semifinal Controversy

    In defense of the refs on the floor, there were a lot of fouls both ways. The pace of the game and style of play by both teams led any fan to see this game was going to be greatly affected by fouls. While I hate to see games where the refs seem to make it about themselves, I also don't know...

    Cedar Catholic vs Centura Semifinal Controversy

    Bad calls are a part of the game. Human error, I get that. Officials, don't want to make a mistake. I get that too. But when they do, how often do you see them admit it? Should we take more than 5minutes of game time to talk it through and get the call right? Or are we on a strict time...

    Cedar Catholic vs Centura Semifinal Controversy

    I was not going to comment on this situation, but come on. We are going to "blame" the coaching staff for being cheerleaders instead of accepting the fact that an official screwed up a call? As a coach, I have my scorekeeper and the scoreboard to look at. Those two are in agreement, but you...

    Volleyball State Volleyball Tournament - Final Results

    And had to beat that top rated Norfolk Catholic team, in subs just to make it to a district final. If i understand correctly, it was the fourth meeting of these two teams this year. And they now stand at 2-2.

    I hear your 43. So what does your crystal ball say about Bergan and Malcolm?

    Crazy, I did not expect a 44-14 game. Just a few short weeks ago some were speculating Mitchell being a number one seed. Injuries are definitely a part of the game. But so is depth, and having a regular season schedule where you are tempered by fire

    Traveling Teams

    Yeah, that is a brutal road trip. but the gauntlet that is northeast Nebraska C-2 tends to prepare those teams well to face their western foes.

    Next Football Cycle

    I'm pretty sure the Crofton- HCC rivalry goes back to HCC's days when they were known as Holy Trinity High School. I can't say if they missed any years, but I know of several instances where current players' fathers, and grand fathers played in that rivalry game.

    So this is happening

    I don't know how any co-op or consolidation is supposed to work when one side assumes they have all the power. The attitude that "you can join us, but we aren't joining you" just doesn't bode well for the long term future of the situation. It sounds like the same game plan used by Congress now...

    So this is happening

    I think your wrong trying to blame this on one person. And I think you are wrong to say he "decided it was happening." Priests are re-assigned to new positions all the time. But we can't fool ourselves, the bishop and the Catholic Schools Office hold the final decision making power. Much like...
