Freshman PE was by far the worst class I have ever had. It is sad that we were forced to bear the tyranny of Racine and his dismal attempt at teaching. With a class of well over 250 seniors and only one brave girl wanting to put up with him, it is a sad testament to and GREAT SCHOOL.

I guess the prognosis this year explains it all, again! As with previous posts, “Donnie” is a jerk and it is evident AGAIN with only 1 senior out for basketball. That is absolutely a disgrace to Bishop Carroll and the girls program. Go back over the years and the same theme repeats itself over and over again. As was said before, there is absolutely NO COMPARISON between Coach Shuckman and “Donnie Tenure” Racine.

I think everyone who has gone to BC knows Racine is a pain and can be a jerk, but he has given many years and alot of time to the kids at that school and he has had success, maybe you folks should cut him some slack.

Ditto, tailgater. Schuckman is class and gets the most of his playes and they develop under him. Racine is a bully, his players are no better than when they arrived as freshman and do not progress in there skills or talents. He is not willing to change or adapt his style to the talent he has, but forces them to do it his way which is the same stuff he has been doing the last 28 years. I can count at least 4 state championships he should have won with the talent he let waste away. The basketball teams win on sheer talent and not coaching or strategy.

There is no comparison. Shuckman is a class act and gets the most out of his players. He has their respect and they will do whatever he asks of them. Racine, on the other hand, has had the talent over the years that should have produced as many State Championships or more than Heights. He has had more talent quit because of his coaching than most schools ever have. One year, the seniors that refused to play for him could of won state by themselves at any other school. He has tenure and always has talent, but has only taken advantage on one of those — You figure out which one!
