Here I go off topic a wee bit. When I lived in Ecuador, I met a relative of Tecumseh from southern Ohio, Charley Brown...you might be able to find him...true...Cuenca, Ecuador. He was a direct descendent of Tenskwatawa, The Prophet. Charley said he could see the future, too. And, I always tell my kids not to be judgy but one of those mentioned names is the most handsome woman I've ever seen. Mac something.

success factor

Insert socioeconomic/soccer data here.

Some Hill team and some Northteam, but they're often wrong.

The kids in the hallways and classes say that they hear 2 more to come to the TRC. The admin is tight-lipped. We shall see 🙂.

Center Grove should send their B team to play in 5A.

You can't be true to a system that picks its players. It's just a rehash of the success factor from top to bottom.

Nothing to see here...:)

And Coach Brandewie has landed at Eastside.

FWCS doesn't, generally, rip apart their schools/schedules.

I would have to check on that. I'm sure most of it is from people simply not doing the right thing to begin with.

Politicians. Codes. Laws. Statutes. Policies.

That's our system. We don't only send high-aptitude students to the local college prep high school, we send everyone.

Our best and brightest are just as good as the best and brightest anywhere. We don't test and send kids to different kinds of schools as in some countries, we throw them all into the same pool.

Poor Luers. Will they ever see that field again?

Our whole system is different, yet we compete well in the world.

That is certainly a view that you've developed. There are many views on what a government should and shouldn't be. What a religious system should and shouldn't be. What an education system should and shouldn't be. Insert choice in there where you'd like. You're a product of where you come from.

I have lived in three, count them three, developing countries. There is nothing wrong with strong infrastructure and helping pay for good roads, schools, and the other social things. It's very hard to live in place that doesn't have good infrastructure and where the man doesn't take care of his place/people. They also use a true system of promotion and relegation because they PAY their players and recruit them. I've also seen some of the top players in their home countries as they develop and move on. Good football in Colombia and S. America. Of course, the best move on to countries where the money flows.

And I was wondering aboout 8th graders at Northwood Middle School across from Dwenger.

New Haven? Concordia? Woodlan? Dwenger? Interesting on where they could rent.

It most certainly does.

https://outsidethehuddle.net/2022/12/05/todd-mason-eastside-ad-aaron-willard-release-statements-on-masons-resignation/ You can see it at the link and I appreciate the frankness in this paragraph: My resignation is not the result of a single event, single person or season. My tenure at Eastside has been riddled with challenges, yet not from parents or student-athletes. The lack of institutional transparency and collaboration has left me exhausted mentally, physically and spiritually. I have lost my hope and belief that our educational leaders are willing to make decisions that are solely for the best for our students.

That makes too much sense for the powers that be.

So, the kids are paying for their predecessors athleticism.?.? Maybe we should make some good coaches resign to make it equitable.
