Former Coach i know full well the history and have been told by some of the old timers that these were indeeed 2 of the best teams to have played youth football. 125 -7 and 114 - 14 speaks for itself.

to JD5555—- we did play the best talent and the best teams and yes we did play our backups in at least half the game and in many games non-starters would start.all our boys were at practice and if they were not they would not play.we played in the wichita city league and that meant that we played all the teams in our age group no matter how good they were.that is how the league is set up so why do u accuse us of beating up on lessor teams? should we have forfeited to avoid winning? in many games we would let several non running backs run the ball to try and avoid blow-outs.i can remember one game that 16 different kids ran the ball. we developed many football players.if u were at practice you were going to play.i knew that they were kids and that they all wanted to play and every year every player on our team scored at least once.ALL the kids on our team improved every year they played.

to chuck poe– we lost 4 games in the 4 years before we had bryce brown on our team.he was a great addition but he was not the savior of our team.bryce did not need alot of coaching as u say,all we had to do was pitch him the ball.he played very little defense and we still got the job done.

Coach:
I think you became Dominant in 7th grade when a kid named Bryce Brown transfered as you call it,lol to your team from I think the Jayhawks.You also had a few other players that made a impact that “Transferred from other team as well.Not saying anything, it all a part of good coaching but I remember Bryce back then,didn’t need much coaching,lol.

Former coach:
Wish I knew who you are,do I? I too am a fan of old and new coaching styles and playing styles.2 state titles Trumps anything I have done coaching at High School level.I would love to hear some stories.

Should have been COACH, not Former Coach.

Your kids didn’t need to prove themselves against “all levels”, rather if they were so good, and I’m going to conceed that they were, it should have been proven against the best talent and teams, not beat up on lessor teams. Did you play your “back-up” kids 1/2 the game? I’m going to assume they were at practices too, maybe just not as talented as the 1st string…

Coach,
You’re right I didn’t coach one state championship team, I actually coached two on the high school level. I also wasn’t an assistant, I was the head coach. It also wasn’t when they wore leather helmets, but once again you put somebody down due to your arrogance. Unlike you, I respect guys who wore leather helmets.

to former coach– i played all my players in every game.the reason my team played so many games is because my boys wanted to prove themselves against all levels of competition.is that wrong? my statement that the other teams had poor coaching is not arrogant it is just the facts.i am very proud of my team and what they accomplished and continue to accomplish.you seem to think that is wrong.i doubt you ever coached a state champion team as you say and if you did it was when they still wore leather helmets.i know my team had alot of fun over the years and we created alot of great memories and many of my players played all 6 years with the same team so apparently we were doing something right. look how many other kids at all levels jump from team to team and that is why they cant build a dominant team.

How bout that 9 yr old Baseball player?WOW…LOL
Did anyone go to Butler game lastnight?
I just think we all have our options and should all agree to disagree
I know some people don’t agree with everything I always think,And I know I’m ALWAYS RIGHT!!! LOL.

I love to win and feel winning is important but if I can change a kids life I will take a lose or 2.Took me alot of years to learn that lesson.

I used to feel people measured me as a coach by win and loss recored and for most part they do but I coach to make a difference in kids lifes.It took a much older coach then me to make me understand the difference..

PS..I STILL LOVE TO WIN!!!

JD5555:
What are you talking about? I have been the one saying that it is not about winning only, or achieving a certain record. That is what “coach” seems to think. I agree that all the players need the opportunity to play and learn.
My only goal when coaching junior football was that every player that played for me would enjoy it enough that he wanted to play again the next year.
