• It's no problem guys. I've written worse that never made it through, I just figured it was because I wrote a short story. I was just trolling a bit to the no-class guys. Been with the blog since 2010 and still have a few more years to go. Keep up the good work gentlemen

• I do not like the juniors on JV, I'm not against it at all I just don't like it right now. NOT because they are there, I don't care about that. Good for Huron for getting kids to play football instead of soccer, tennis, cross country, sitting at home playing video games etc.... my issue is 100% HL related. Our league is so freshmen heavy on JV, the majority of these freshmen would NEVER be on a "real" JV team. ALL of the decent (usually not worthy) sophomores and freshmen are on Varsity. We all deal with it so it is what it is but here is why I don't like it...... the freshmen that would never be on JV are playing against a loaded true JV 10th grade class with additional juniors added for insult. The majority of Hurons JV starters would be on or starting on other HL Varsity squads ATM. That's all. Nothing wrong with it, it's not their fault, good for them. Our league is just not currently populated for it. Do they need to stop. Nope. Just had to chime in.

• Sometimes things go into the spam folder. I rarely check it. At the end of last season, we found about 30 comments that we had never noticed because they ended up in the spam folder.

• The post you speak of went to spam. It's up now.

• I posted everything.

  My take is, if you move down juniors, they should play. All of them.

• I never saw your original post. Gary does most of the moderating these days. If he didn't post it he probably thought it was just a bit too much. We're trying to error on the side of caution for the most part.

• Since Chris doesn't want to post my response I'll have to dumb it down for more entertainment value. We have lots of kids, maybe you should figure out why you don't. Sophomores scored 44 of the 50 points, is that a better score for you? A lot of mistakes led to the 50 points, coaches weren't running up the score. You'd know that if you actually saw the game. Stop crying.

• WHEN I PLAYED IN OHIO IN THE 90'S WE HAD A 1ST YEAR SENIOR PLAYING JV ON THURSDAYS TO GET HIM UP TO SPEED FOR FRIDAY NIGHTS. HE PLAYED JV ON THURSDAY AND VARSITY ON FRIDAY. BY WEEK 5 HE WAS SOLELY ON VARSITY AND A BIG CONTRIBUTOR TO THE TEAM.

• I seem to remember not that long ago when every team but Flat Rock had freshmen squads. Did everyone feel bad about blowing out FR's JV every week? Never saw Flat Rock fans on here crying about it.

• @10:05 I'm sorry that you're jealous of our team depth at all levels. Apologies that we're currently the only Huron league team capable of fielding a freshman team. Please excuse the fact that depth on the varsity is so deep at some positions that the head coach is doing what he can to get kids on the field. If it makes you feel better, it's ok for only you to count the points from the sophomores, that would make it 44-8. Obviously you werent at the game. Maybe we shouldnt block punts when we're standing right in front of the punter. Or recover fumbles. Or return punts. Or run plays with a short field. Or tackle in the end zone when a bad snap goes about 20 yards (better than recovering it or the score would have been 55). Or tell the refs it's ok if their knees touch the ground when catching balls. Or decide to try for a field goal (it was wide left) on 4th and 2 at the 10 when we easily could have went for it.
  You're basically accusing our coaches of leaving in the starters for the entire game and running up the score, and you couldn't be more wrong. You're expecting us to be ashamed of having many kids playing...not going to happen. I'm sure if your team was in our position you would be screaming at the top of your lungs to not play so hard. Yeah, right. It's JV. The records don't count. There's no trophy at the end of the season. Hell, when I played JV we went 0-8-1. Should I be upset about that? Should I hold a grudge towards all the other teams for playing better than us? Give me a break. Maybe you should be asking yourself what's going on that your numbers are down and what you can do to help correct that problem. But yeah, probably better to get on a blog and cry about how classy another team is.
  The kids from Milan kept playing, they never quit. That's great character and is something that they, and their coaches and fans, should be proud of. That is something they can use later in life. Good job, guys.
