    Parochial Schools

    I can't speak for other schools, but I've never known our Catholic school to turn away anyone who wants to get a Catholic education. There is even a fund established to help the "have nots", as you call them, with tuition if they can't afford it. And there are plenty of two parent household...

    Parochial Schools

    Priest to prospective recruit: "We really want you to come to our school" Prospective recruit: "What's in it for me?" Priest: "Well...your parents get to spend thousands of dollars on tuition" Prospective recruit: "Is that it?" Priest: "Well I could throw in an Our Father and a couple of Hail...

    Parochial Schools

    Oh God here we go again with the recruiting crap. If a kid chooses to go to a parochial school, whether it's for religious reasons, academic reasons or yes, even for athletic reasons- that's not RECRUITING- it's a kid and his / her family making a choice.

    Aquinas vs St. Cecilia

    Sort of off topic but I wanted to comment on something. The newspapers, radio, web sites etc. talk about "historic Duncan Field" like it's some great privilege to walk in the gate. Maybe it is if you're watching baseball but I gotta say it's a really crappy place to try and watch a football...

    Who wins class C2?

    Scotus scored first on a pass play, Aquinas scored on the last play of the first half. They made the point after but had it nullified with a penalty. Missed second attempt. Scotus hit a field goal in the second half, Aquinas missed one. Near the end Aquinas was driving toward the goal but...

    SE NE football in C2 and weak districts

    Great post. You're a class act my friend. I'm sure most people up there agree with you and just appreciate all the hard work these kids put in everyday and let what happens on the field decide who's the better team on any given day. There are always teams (from all areas) that are able to reload...

    Perfect, that's what I've been trying to say but you did it much better!

    SE NE football in C2 and weak districts

    Ok I'm getting confused. Are you complaining about ALL private schools or just the ones that aren't in Northeast Nebraska? You do realize LHNE and HCC are private schools too right?

    SE NE football in C2 and weak districts

    Maybe not as big of a stretch as you think. I admit the planets aligned for DT that year but I'm telling you that was a machine. And no I'm not from there. Just trying to make a point. I get tired of people implying that there's some secret draft of all the top players that only private schools...

    SE NE football in C2 and weak districts

    Doniphan Trumball isn't a private school and I doubt a hand picked all star team from Northeast Ne (or anywhere else in C2 for that matter) could have beat them in 2013. Just sayin

    Opinion on when to pull starters from a game?

    Closer game, more time, probably not. But you'd really have to lay down pretty bad to let the other team score 28 points in 3 minutes. I'm saying that going into playoffs, if I had a kid that was my main RB, kicker, kick returner etc and the chance of the other team making some miraculous...

    SE NE football in C2 and weak districts

    Yes there are a lot of very good football programs in Northeast Nebraska and I will concede that right now, C2-5 is probably, top to bottom, the toughest district, but please don't forget that the big prize-the championship trophy- hasn't been north of the Platte River in 5 years.

    Projected Class C-2 Playoff Bracket - 10/22

    Just wondering... if you get rid of districts how would you set up the schedules? It's just not realistic to expect schools (and fans) to regularly drive halfway across the state to play games. They do that in 6 man and I'm sure no one likes it, but they don't have a choice. There are enough...

    Opinion on when to pull starters from a game?

    It is a tricky situation. Especially down the stretch you need your starters to stay sharp and be ready for playoffs, and if they're standing on the sidelines not getting playing time you worry they might not be ready, but you sure don't want them hurt either. Especially a player who fills so...

    Projected Class C-2 Playoff Bracket - 10/22

    If we're talking about opponents win/loss records, of the 16 teams in the playoffs, 8 have each only beaten two teams that ended up with winning records, 2 have only beaten 1 team with a winning record. Not trying to compare apple and oranges or anything, just saying most of these teams wins...
