To my knowledge they have not although there are rumors out there circulating that the program is in financial turmoil.
Lol. @FalconParent1, now we know you have no clue. Even Scott would never sell that dream and if he did I would love to negotiate with you on some water front property in Arizona. Last time I checked Huguenot was a public school and required to play 9 of 10 Dominion District games. The Huguenot AD is a bright man and hopefully he will keep things in check. I honestly wish the Falcons well. If they do things by the rules and destroy their opponents then it only makes Region B stronger.
Confidence is the key I guess 😅
I hope your son and his friends have the talent to cash the checks your mouth is writing. It will likely be a very tough road for them if they don't. The few true claims you have made coupled with all the false ones made with bravado have painted a sizeable target on their back already.
From 1-9 last year, to State championship this year, to bring on IMG, and we haven't hit Jan yet. 🤣 The incoming coach gotta love your flex.
They have already announced the OC and DC. They are coming with him from LCA.
I don't think "everyone is cool" with public schools recruiting but there isn't anything that can really be done about it. I have never heard of a VHSL member school being reprimanded for "recruiting." The only thing I could think of is if other coaches decided to boycott and not play a certain team that is suspected of recruiting but that will indirectly hurt the players of the team that is doing the boycotting. Not to mention the perception is gives of the boycotting coach. As unfortunate as it is, I think we're just at the point of no return now.
116 kids D1 in 5 seasons?? Yea, ok. IMG and Mater Dei doesn't even have that many in that time period. Not knocking what Coach Scott and the staff at Life have done but your numbers are exaggerated. That is an average of 23 D1 players each season. They have never had a senior class of more than 20, yet alone 23 D1 players a season.
yea well
Agreed. Sad thing is, most colleges are passing them by because they play football or basketball. They get a degree and haven’t learned a thing. Let’s not even talk about the public school system.
I agree mostly with you, but I’ll add this. My biggest problem with LCA is it doesn’t prepare students for the next level, academically. Yeah Scott recruited them to come to LCA, but how much can we place blame on him for the students’ not doing what they’re supposed to at the next level? This one hits home cause I ran recruiting at my school and exerted a lot of time and resources to ensure my guys got what they needed to be promoted and ready for the next level. Had many to get opportunities and they squandered it. I’d beat myself up until I realized, I did what I was supposed to do, that’s on them. That just doesn’t happen at LCA, that’s everywhere with this generation of kids. It goes back to, you can take a horse to the water but you can’t make him drink it. A lot of blame is definitely on him for promoting that “school”, but he definitely put them into position to be successful by giving them exposure and they didn’t hold up their end.
Get out the region then you got a Phoebus to deal with. No easy roads in Class 4.
looks like Phoebus have a walk in the park over in 4A
With a blown head gasket, an oil leak and the transmission is slipping....
BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!
You'd lose that bet....maybe 112 JUCO offers? #JUSSAYIN
I agree @BoKnowsSports this has been an interesting thread with a ton of different takes with varied opinions. When I reviewed your initial take and excitement, my fear of the state of VHSL football, @mbonape1 desire for the return of a Richmond power, @VolNation85 rational thoughts on the state of affairs in today's high school football world, the three media guys who have voiced opinions, an alleged parent who does not have a clue, @Tyson Woods car analogy and @CQLcommish who obviously knows Coach Scott and the LCA program posts speak volumes about the passion we all have for this game. I guess we just need to let this situation play out and hope for the best. Happy New Year's guys/gals.
I maybe in the minority here but I would not mind a merger of the VHSL and the VISAA.
As this thread winds down, I just wanted to take a last look at a few points of interest here.
I actually don't think you are in the minority but I think it would be a lot to merging the two.
I would be interested in seeing how many players from Varina and Manchester are left at Life to fend for them self.
