Guest coachhooker Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 Giddings 1, Hempstead 0 (forfeit) does anyone know what happened or the story behind this on why Hempstead had to forfeit
txprepfan Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 According to a source I have in Giddings, Hempsteadsupposedly had several injuries and claimed they didnot have enough kids available to play in a game.
eagle_sports Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 anyone can make up excuses... a 3-a team not havin enough kids to play come on now... the only reason they had to forfeit was because they knew they didnt stand a chance!
txprepfan Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 Hempstead is 2A, but I think they still should have beenable to field a team, agree that it was a way out of a potentiallyembarassing loss.
bulldog16 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 Hempstead is a 2A school and they only had 14 healthy kids last Friday and of those 14 only 4 were offensive linemen....No need in taking your kids to Giddings to get embarrassed...You have to do what is best for your program, not the other team that you are playing...If Coach Seargent would have had enough linemen, they would have played....
txprepfan Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 That is really disappointing to hear. I understand injuriesare something you can't control and I don't like to see kidsget embarassed in lopsided losses either so I don't blame them forforfeiting, but curious as to why they don't have more kidsout for football. Is enrollment an issue, I know they used to bein 3A not that long ago.
