I wish ESPN would cover more high school games every week and I wish they would broadcast more in-state games with teams that are highly ranked. For example, in 2018, ESPN showed up to the Walton-North Gwinnett game, which was an in-state game. Walton won 27-24 in a great game that I believe would have definitely never seen the light of day had ESPN not been there. Additionally, North Gwinnett's quarterback JR Martin had a behind-the-back move that resulted in a touchdown, and it made SportsCenter's Top 10 the next day. Had ESPN not been there, that play would have never been documented (much like the entire North Gwinnett-Armwood game). I bet there are so many top ranked in-state games across the nation that end up being classics, but they are never popularized because ESPN prioritizes interstate games.

Back in 2013 Miami Central played Booker T Washington in #1 vs #2. They had a game with two teams from Kansas on all because an offensive lineman was on the top of their 300. An offensive lineman? C'mon man!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If going to Kansas to promote an offensive linemen drew more people to their top 300 rankings, I guess they would do whatever it takes. What we really need is an organization that caters to the people's wants instead of popularity. Something along the lines of NFHS Network but with better camera crews and commentators. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe another example of bias towards Californian teams? Ha young buck, DLS is by far and away the most recognized high school football team in the nation. How many New York times best seller books or MAJOR motion picture movies have been made about valdusta? DLS has been ranked the number 1 team in the decade in the 90's, 2000's and 2010's. How you comin? @imaGoodBoyNow handle the light work for me homie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballGuy Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 It would be cool to see a four team tournament with Valdosta, John Curtis, De La Salle and Massillon. All four programs with a lot of history. I personally would wanna see de la salle vs john curtis....just to see who runs that veer offense the best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Buford and North Gwinnett have its own little rivalry (non-football related). It's just that I have respect for him because unlike you, he can voice his opinion appropriately. So can Ga96 and others. It seems like most people here have respect for each other. That's obviously not evident with you.

Along those lines, it would be cool to see a national high school football tournament played out with 64 teams. We probably know who will be in the finals, but seeing the upsets on the way to the finals might be the best part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A kid with that many offers and all already, leaving his "brothers" behind, wasn't a team guy anyway. There was no good reason to leave really unless his dad got some nice paying job and all in order to facilitate the move.

Turns out, I'm community oriented enough that I get to hear some things where some kids talk others into staying after being told their parents and family could use the money and all. There's a lot going on. I don't normally talk out about it, but, it's a little out there when kids are talking to each other that their parents are putting them on the spot about finances. These are high school kids. One as young as 10th grade that I know of.

ngdawg Posted June 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Why was Rush Propst reinstated anyways? Don't most people hate what he did both at Hoover and Colquitt? I mean, he gave his players pills and (idiotically) banged his head against his players' helmets. What led them to reinstate him?

Yeah, I always expected that some kids would want to play for Rush. Even knowing that, I still defended Rush and talked him up because I knew how shitty he was done. I kept my tongue bit when he did a radio interview and told an outright lie that I know for a fact was a lie. I'll save that one, and I have proof even though it's not so important anymore because he's hired already now. I didn't want to do anything to wreck his chance at landing that job because of how shitty he got done in Moultrie by some jack asses. There's some lines being crossed at this point though. All I'm saying, is they need to chill down. Idk who they are, if it's Rush behind some of it or just boosters or who, but, when folks haven't applied for a job but they get called and offered jobs they never applied for in the first place, there's some clear bullshit going on. Then their kids are out here telling their teammates some of it and whatever, it's getting around pretty good now. Secrets like that don't keep easy when there's so much hard feelings to go around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
