Nederland is playing harder under the new coach which is going to play a factor in this game. This is one of those games that you don't have to get the kids hyped up about. These kids have been looking forward to this game since the clock hit 0:00 at last years game. We make predictions all we want and look at common opponents and margins of victory in those games, however all bets go out the door for MCM. Rankings don't matter, strength of schedule doesn't matter, decibels at the pep rally don't matter. These kids come to play for this game every year. That is why it's the best high school football rivalry in the state of TEXAS!

If you want different results you have to start doing things differently. If football is the metric we are going to use as the success of an athletic program then that is where majority of the focus should be. I know that may hurt some feelings, however when the track team doesn't have anybody qualify for regionals there is never a 30 page thread on here.

So what's your thoughts on in season lifting?

Participate in everything! Don't live in fear of injury...if you are playing with that mindset you probably aren't going to be very successful in the first place. Elite athletes play multiple sports a lot of times at the same time. Unless you are making a living and putting food on the table with your abilities then you have no excuse to not be doing everything.

Accidents happen it doesn't matter if the player is in season or not. This is not on a coach or a player its just an unfortunate situation. Many athletes all across the state participate in multiple sports at the same time. Shoot Prime suited out for a professional baseball game and a professional football game in the same day.

Ritter will have a BOGO deal within the hour is this happens. lol
