JCHillmen,
No condensation towards The JCA players or coaches at all. PJJP on the other hand is/was fishing on Reifsteck and has no idea what he's talking about. He also seems to be bent on discrediting others success by pointing out transfers. Kids transfer for many reasons...some are legitimate some perhaps not so much, but at least in our case solicited by the parents not the school, or coaches which he implied. I am of the strong opinion and always have been, that kids should be able to transfer once without penalty for any reason(the adult coaches can, why not the kids). I will get off my soap box, but rest assured that I respect the greater JCA family.

Hope you're joking jwar. I have a lot of respect for most of the stuff you have posted, but certainly don't like the recent condescension. And who is looking for excuses? Some people got overzealous and said the entire JC system needs to be scrapped because it's a "dinosaur." The opinion of most JC supporters ranges from needing minor systematic tweaks to significant changes. I am of the former opinion as are most posters on here. It was also stated, and rightfully so, that JC could definitely benefit itself by getting more involved in the transfer game.
Once again, I can only assume you were saying it tongue in cheek, but if those above reasons are "excuses," you're clearly reading it wrong. Kind of like a few weeks ago when a guy from another school tried to say JC was handing Naz the game and you got all bent out of shape (apologies if I am mistaken and it was a different Naz poster I'm thinking of). He wasn't a JC guy and he wasn't making excuses for why Naz was winning, just stating the obvious that JC was making too many mistakes and shooting themselves in the foot.
Not every statement needs to be taken as an affront, just like the "sole sophomore defensive starter" statement. It wasn't an attack and it turns out the statement was 100% true based on the information Naz submitted to the IHSA.
Good luck Saturday. Beat LWW. Win another state championship. Winning is great but it does not validate an entire football philosophy. It just means you had the best team that year. Every program learns that when they hit the dry spells that every team hits and schools like MS and JC just happen to be a few years into now.
