As the King's Dad it was a great weekend. Dustin was very excited about being King all weekend, but being ture to form Monday we had  ::) to start talking about this week game against Central. He is always pulling for his BEARS....Thanks again LCM students and parents

Well I for one know first hand that the STJFL does everything in it's power to let as many kids play as their Bylaws allow. My youngest son was given a waiver to play ( they waived the minimum #of plays ). You see he has downs syndrome it was the best three years of football I have ever experienced. For that I thank the STJFL!! 8)

What new starters for your team will make the Biggest Impact?

The coach is still there, just doesn't coach varsity football, I will not name him. and I know my post will make some people mad but sometime the truth does that.....

This thread is so sad!! First LC-M parents and Politics ran David Williams off !! Then when they didn't The Coach they(Parents and Politics) wanted. So they began the process of running Coach Moody off !! I can remember Coach Moody's first year,I took my son to LC-M's football camp that year and the assistant coaches where already bashing Coach Moody. Keep in mind LC-M your job of AD/ Head football coach is not desirable......because of the parents and politics. The only way you can fix LC-M's problem is find the source of bad politics(Cancer) and REMOVE it from your school...... and the cancer knows who they are!!!!! TRUTH HURTS!!!!!!!!

And there back ups have been starters all their lives, With that being said.. Respect is earned not given. When the LC-M players learn that have to earn RESPECT that it will not be given to them, and want to earn it (respect) everything will start getting better.

OK lets turn this to the positive, and give some credit to the players who are working hard... Who on this years team do you see showing the JV (Joseph Viator) work ethic?

I don't think any of the people here beleive that "3rd teamers" should start simply because of hard work...the element of having your best guys out there comes into play. However, if your "best guys" have oddles of talent and no commitment, and no work ethic, then you must find a way to give them some. Look at it in your workplace...if you have a guy who is "boss' favorite" and he has no incentive to work hard, why should he? How does that affect you? Do you want to strive to do your best, if the house mouse will always get the best and you get the leftovers? It translates the same way to a team. If the starters aren't afraid of being demoted to 2nd or 3rd string, what motiviates them? If they feel there is a guarantee of a starting spot, why work hard? In football, you have to leave the field wide open for advancement. The "3rd teamer" must be almost as good as the first string. That is good coaching. Anyone can take a talented kid and let him play. It takes a heck of a coach to take a raw kid, with little talent, and create a football monster. It takes dedication on the part of the parents, the coach, and the kid. However, the opportunity to move up MUST be there. And playing lazy kids just because they have decent talent brings down a team. Now before all the first string parents jump my case, if your kid is hitting the weight room, running, and doing all the rest of the things necessary to excel, guess what? I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOUR KID! If, however, your kid knows of a teammate that is there on talent alone, and feels they don't have to work hard, then it needs to be addressed. There was a kid on last year's team that embodied the work ethic, and it showed on the field. If you were to look at him, you wouldn't think "bad butt", but on the field, that was exactly what he was to opposing players. This year's team needs to look at JV as the example of work ethic, and copy and embody that. All of them, from 1st string to 10th string. Then, with that example in mind, they can come out and play ball like they should... both are well said.......

There where some varsity players that where asked to play last Friday.... and did!!!!

Well I can't speak for all of the starters, but I know of one who is up @ 6:30am every morning to go work out. I've watched a couple of practices this spring. They look young, but they also look like they WANT to learn and get better. This group of young men are driven and with some [glow=red,2,300]support[/glow] we can fuel this drive. also... ELHECTOR1---- I accept your challenge I'LL be there to support the BEARS because it's all about FAMILY...... 8)

I'm a little confused how can these two, be big time players that quit be big time players if they quit on their teammates... Because that is what they did quit on teammates....not coaches. Yes there are players that work very hard for a school and fans that are more worried about players that QUIT! It puzzles me how when I first moved here all I heard was how the problem with LCM football was DW now its TM.

For those how are doing spring football How's your team looking and who might standout ? :

AMEN 77 you hit it right on the head I move here a couple of years ago and I have never seen anything like this.As long as it is says like this LCM will never win.........

They might surprise you. Our JV only managed 3 first downs last year. I don't know what to say to that ??? They might surprise you. Our JV only managed 3 first downs last year. did they score any? Yea they Scored twice, They also had more than 3 First Downs... Not many more but they had more...

Young and with little support....with quotes like this...

Any attempt of using it for basketball or baseball is ill advised. The players (and coaches) of these sports (LC-M basketball & baseball) did not choose this slogan, nor do they like it to represent their accomplishments. Chanting it on this topic is simply just some trying to "bandwagon" the Bear basketball program. Please, leave "BOJO" out of this. It doesn't apply.
