Here's the thing everyone forgets. They were picked 30 out of thirty. They weren't supposed to even compete with houma, or ac. When they came out of the box kicking butt. Remember this. Our coaches held our guys back.They were taking a knee at half time not to run up the score on these people. We weren't supposed to beat Guyden. We were supposed to be Guyden. It didn't happen. But when we lost Dylan for three games with an ankle injury we went on a three game skid. That's absolutely the only reason we lost to Hansen. Hargrave had three carries for 225 yards & two touchdowns in four plays. That was the game after VC. We also lost a game to AES we should have won. Central Catholic dominated us in the second half. They had a good win there. But we stomped Highland Baptist. And with all that and his gaudy numbers Dylan didn't get a single all district vote. That's another reason I'm concerned. Even if they win district & even state, the only coach I would trust to do the right thing is the coach from VC. I wouldn't put it past the rest of those guys not vote for any of our kids no matter what.
So if perception is reality. No one from that district will ever be taken seriously because for the most part they don't deserve to be imo. But that puts me in more of a bind. Because if your kid isn't voted all district he can't be nominated for all state. And I'd love to hear the whaling & gnashing of teeth that would go on around here even if this coaching staff went out & recruited a kid without the blessing of Rival's and/or a chest full of medals.

I'll tell you why rivals & scout don't have my son listed. They don't have him listed because while he was winning a weight lifting competition to raise money for his school, Nike was having a high school combine in San Antonio we didn't know anyrhing about. Had we known, we would have been there. We didn't know about tge combine, or how important it was for him to attend. So how in hells blazes can rivals, or scouts know about him if in their eyes he doesn't even exist? And even if he does exist he just flat didn't care enough to go to their combine. Guess what. There is no make up test. So figure it out for yourself. You have someone who didn't knowcthe ropes so the train leftvthe station while they were do gooding. Now he's screwed because it doesn't matter what I say. It doesn't even matter how well he does in his camps. The only people who will know about him are the guys whocwork him out at the camps he attends. Do you understand that? So who's to blame? I guess I am. How was I supposed to know? I would guess with all the people I was communicating with, one of them would have known enough to tell me to make certain Josh attended that Nike camp...Or else he isn't even alive. I guess it's like being born without a burth certificate, or social security number. I guess if I was in love with reading abour my son as much as some on here seem to think, I would have looked for him sooner & asked, now why isn't hecin that there whatchamacallit. But I didn't think to ask. And certain people I relied on sure as ____ didn't bother ti tell me. Or tell me how fuxkibg important it was for him to attend one of those camps. So you see? I don't give ____ how gret Rival's & Scout's credentials are. If you don't know how to swing on the first f...ing vine then they don't even know you're alive. How's that for a f...ing answer @$$hole?
