NW Missouri State fired HC

It is brutal out there for high school athletes. Unless you are a SEC/Big 10 level player, it seems the high schoolers are basically kept at arms length until the portal closes.
its a simple process do you want a kid who just went to prom or do you want a kid who has been at a college for a year on a college level strength and conditioning program and a college level nutrition plan. who has already show he wont turn and run home at the sign of adversity.

Big programs are letting the small ones foot the bill like they are a minor league system.

D1s and other D2s raid like crazy now too, with these rules. Side effect. D1s only signing 7 or 8 high schoolers. Less commitment and accountability for everyone. Yay

Webb City 42 Ctown 28 Final !!

And we thank you for your service. Too many people downplay the impact that Saturday Afternoon Mighty Mite Coaches have on the future of our beloved sport
I honestly don't think some get it, all the perennial powers of public schools have not just a good or great HS coach, they have well run youth programs that the community supports. Webb has a community buy in at every age group, Kearney youth program is one of if not the best in the area. Hell KCYFL does scheduling by coach and not by team classification because some youth coaches take B teams and beat A teams with them consistently. Now to look at it the other way you can't have a very successful youth program without a half ass decent HS system and coach because kids need to have someone to look up to and though some don't realize it kids look up to the HS Players and want to be like them. Same for HS coaches kids hear and see good things and want to play for those coaches. JRod being one of the best at it.

Dexter at Lift for Life

Lift for Life gave Helias all they could handle and blew out Borgia. When Lift for Life faced John Burroughs it was a defensive struggle. Dexter which is known for their ground game along with their passing defense. On paper it looks like Dexter should get blown just like Borgia did but the film of the lift for life / John Burroughs game gives me the thoughts of 2 different teams where Lift for Life barely escapes JB.

If lift for Life plays like that against Dexter I can see the door being open to pull off the win and move on to Seneca for Dexter. On the otherhand if LFL plays how they played against Helias and Borgia it could just be a blow out.

not with their current HC. He throws people under the bus too fast.

People whine about Drink playing Cook yada yada. Drink is loyal and everyone wants to play for loyal coaches.
That is why I said we are at the (near) terminal stage. The admin giving a HC a vote of confidence during the season rarely ends well. Ditto the NFL McCarthy is at this stage in Big D.

The old system you were there and committed. Leaving was painful. Move and take the one year off penalty. Without that, you've got 19 year old brains thinking the grass is greener somewhere else. If you have a crappy environment and people want to leave, they can. Another dynamic.
It is a symptom of society at large. During one of our semiannual retreat business meetings a couple of years ago we were shown a beyond shocking stat that the average youngster stays at a job for ONE YEAR. We pay well and have about as top notch benefits package as you will find anywhere in KC metro still have maddening turnover.
