..if you like slaughters. The size difference is, wow. Maybe the TV is playing tricks on me at this bar with a crappy projection TV, but MS offonse looks a lot bigger than PLV defense.
Class A title game going well....
- Thread starter litespeedhuskerfan
- Start date
It is stupid...
If you are Papio South you might as well just bring 7-8 guys on every play and see if you can't catch a break.
Feel terrible for PLV. This feels dirty, especially for a title game.
Just texted my bro who lives in KC, he was a DT for MS from 1984-1986 and we liked it better back in our day when it was actual MS kids, and same for the other high schools.

But, but, but Mike Sauver or whatever his name is went on the radio to say that most of Millard South's players where part of their youth football league. LOL.
They probably are , but it’s the ones they bring in are Difference makers . But Every school in Nebraska can do the exact same thing as MS does. It’s not like they are breaking rules
Well you know how it works. Not every school can do it. For one thing there aren’t that many players of that level to allow more than one school to do it. In theory if every school had equal coaching and resources maybe they could but we all know that is never the case.
Yep I mis worded. The state legislature gave every public school the go to have open enrollment if they choose not to Elkorn Gretna etc..that’s not the problem of the ones that chose to
go that route.
They need to come up with a regional or national league for these all-star teams and quit ruining high school sports. In CO where I live, Cherry Creek is having a similar season to MS. Undefeated, and tested only once by a team from Florida whose only loss was to Cherry Creek. Creek also demolished Millard North early in the season - too bad they scheduled the wrong Millard school, then both teams might have actually had another rare competitive game to play.
Double? Reverse? Flea flicker? Is that what that was? Up 49-0 in the 4th, and you pull, that? I went to MS, and i'm still embarrassed.
(I typed that up last nite but didn't realize it didn't post)

The point that Mike didn't say or wouldn't say is that among the best kids in their "youth" program the vast majority of those do not live in Millard's district. And yes, they didn't recruit a lot of transfers this year because they were already loaded. But when he mentions that a lot of the kids are from the actual school district, he's referring to the guys on the sideline or the JV & Fr team kids who will never play.
The high school athletic association could fix this in about 5 minutes. They won’t. You transfer? Fine. You sit a year and you have to live with a parent who has filed a Nebraska tax return.
It's complicated. Private schools like Skutt recruit athletes in a 50 mile radius. OPS has open enrollment and that led to white flight out of the district which caused a growth in enrollment Elkhorn and Gretna were not ready for (or planning on). Now some OPS schools can't keep the kids they have left. But there are a lot of schools that still follow the rules. Waverly just won state with all of their own guys. Norris is the same way.

The NSAA has no control on how school districts set thier enrollment policies.
While this is true, the private schools literally have to recruit and they are not just looking for kids that are good at sports, they are looking for kids that can pay tuition.
If that's the case, why do all the people that actually live in that district put up with it? Why would you want your kid to never play because the coach is bringing in players from all over? Is there a rift at all in that district about the recruiting practice of the coach?
There is a difference between enrolling and being allowed to participate on their sports team though?
Good question. We've seen something like that take place with the break up of Co-ops in sports at the low levels. Leigh dumped Clarkson so that the unathletic kids with connected parents could get Varsity playing time.
Dave Logan is one helluva coach, colorado should have hired him after New-weasel left.
If a student athlete is completely eligible under the Schools admissions and guidelines. What authority would have the NSAA have to say he is ineligible?
When people complain about the bloat in education, which is ENTIRELY true at the administration level, they need to start at the NSAA.
These people do literally nothing all day everyday for about 250 days/year, make exorbitant salaries, are complete chicken sh!ts, and they make many major decisions based on prior influences/relationships.

No kidding - he's coached 4 different 5A schools to state championships.
