I heard a rumour that the PA Titans had no paperwork for any player at the certification. I heard they will be allowed to participate during the season but not the playoffs. Just seeing if this is true and where the ball was dropped (pardon the pun).

Since they are in STJFL and they are competitors, it seems like a perfectly good question. I would like to know what happened as well.

Ok...was a simple question, figured it would be better to ask the truth on here as oppossed to hearing all the rumors out there.......was just wondering if it was a lack of communication, or if the coaches in PA needed some assitants in learning the proper ways of certifying, I know from experience it can be a very confussing process.

Yes it is not like everyone hasnt heard. I have heard from one extreme to the other and figure the truth is somewhere in the middle.

I coached for Beaumont the first year and we (and I stress we with me included) made some "rookie" mistakes also. I think it is expected to happen with the formation of a new team, the best thing is to learn from it and try and prevent it from happening again.

agreed......maybe a rep from STJFL should guide a new team through their first certification. Just a thought....

Sounds like a very valid question to me ... I understand the whole certification process might be confusing but in my opinion if paperwork is not in order they should not be allowed to play ... i would be all for the league giving them extra time and/or help with it .. but just saying oh well, you didnt get your stuff together .. you can play anyway doesnt seem fair!  Just my opinion ..

The STJFL Board addressed the issue - your local board members should be able to give you all of the details but basically, PA admitted they screwed up, the board is giving them a second chance and will be involved in future registrations, etc. and they cannot make the playoffs this year...seems like a fair decision to me.  Like I said, your local board can probably give you all the intimate details.

Definitely an STJFL board matter; however, it's too bad that a group of adult coaches had to sour the post season chances for a group of kids that had no part in the matter (except for doing what they were told).  Gotta play by the rules coaches!  Like I said in my post earlier, it was more than just a small innocent oversight.  Those guys intentionally broke the rules.  Sorry kids...

The first I heard about this was on this forum.  I have read the posts and I have this to say:

It appears that PA did not have their children certified as required.  The STJFL had dates and times posted well in advance.  I am sure individual team presidents knew of the date and times without having to check the STJFL website.  They are being allowed to play anyway despite not following the rules that are set out in order to participate.

Certifications are in place to make sure that the players meet the age, weight, grade, and residence requirements.  If the children are not going through this process, then why were the other teams made to do it?  If one does not do it; then no one should have had to do it.

Before anyone jumps on my case: I think the children should be able to play.  It's not their faults the adults messed up.  I don't know what the solution is to this mess.  My first thought was to have them certify NOW; however, games have already started.  I just hope that none of the kids get hurt while playing against the PA teams and it is found out that because they were never required to certify, the PA child was in the wrong league (not sure if that is the right word) and should have been in a higher one due to weight or age.  Or did not meet the residence requirements to play on the PA team.

That is just my opinion and I'm sure I will get a lot of backlash from it.  Not trying to be mean to anyone so please, if you do comment, don't be mean to me.

      Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McNeese this Friday night at 6pm.

      I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
