Brentsville District has senior and junior players with 2 game experience playing against the Phoebus Phantoms. This is something the Armstrong Wildcats don’t have. That should count for something. If BD is going to advance as a program 2023 is the year for them to do it because they don’t have to travel to Darling Stadium. Having seen them play, I saw that they are a hungry team. If they don’t make it to the D3 state championship this year I would be surprised.
You had simple trash talk between 2 coaches that were FRIENDS! Politically correct Karen reported the shi talking. Only hurts the kids
I understand where you are coming from but coaches cannot act like fans. When I was going through the system I noticed major problems with the standards that existed for the adults verses the low level of patience that existed for kids. Today the standards for the adults and people on the business side of high school and college football resides in a used toilet bowl. I try to be careful with words because pointing out basic truths is offensive to those that live a certain way. Hopefully coach can win his appeal.
Kids today resort to gun violence over the smallest things. Yeah there friends, but what if one of the TJ students feels disrespected and takes it out on an Armstrong student? What happened at Altria manifested on social media. I like trash talk like the next but it’s a sensitive time/world we live in.
But they did the trash talking on a public forum, and they represent their school. They made an error and are now paying for it. As we like to tell the kids, actions have consequences.
I’m always a fan of the team that I coach. Can you clarify what you mean by “coaches can’t act like fans”?
Well, in public I don’t think coaches should engage in friendly trash talk and especially not on any online platform. This is all my personal opinion btw. Since they are friends as you pointed out it would better and smarter to keep that conversation private and not allow a “Politically Correct Karen” to invade their privacy and become offended. You see, I, as a fan and sometime freelance journalist, feel that I am safe to not care if someone is offended if I say, for example, “The Warhill Lions might not be more of a threat to the Phoebus Phantoms than the Heritage Hurricanes were to the Hampton Crabbers due to the numbers 29 snd 30.” That‘s simple, friendly trash talk that also serves to confuse the reader. 😃
I wouldn’t directly correlate his post and the previous graduation incident. But from the school boards perspective it makes sense to CYA. B/c the latest RPS special report into the graduation won’t be released to the public for what seemed to be legal liability. RPS has zero tolerance right now.
