“Losers talk about losing and winners talk about winning.” Wise words from The North County coach, a High school football team that we played earlier in the season. This regular season was more of a bust for the Windsor football team than anything. After putting up a decent season last year going 4-6, but leading the area in total offense, Windsor had high hopes for this season. Unfortunately Windsor dropped off and not only had one of the worst defenses in the area, but also one of the worse offences this past regular season, even though a year before the offence was a power house. What really happened this past season though and why did the owls finish this season 0-9? After not having a winning season in the past 10 years windsor …show more content…
All through the camps and practices players tried to learn the new coaches formations and new plays. Unfortunately players had trouble with the new transition and led to strike one for the team. After a couple weeks of easy camp stuff we began full pads. Many players took it easy though continuing lazy habits from last year. While other schools around the area beefed up and put in their all Windsor players lacked effort and went easy on themselves and teammates feeling bad for themselves in the heat. Strike two for the team and its season. The mentality for the players has been some of the worst i've seen in my life time talking about losing and how bad the team was during this season and placing the blame on everyone else before examining themselves. Strike three for the team and, a strikeout for Windsor and the team. Boom, here comes St.Pius X to our home turf. Windsor has beat them by very large margins in the last two seasons and Windsor was expected to deliver another blowout. Windsor though fell to Pius 28-0 in a rare victory over the owls for the lancers. Even after the poor execution in week one and an embarrassing loss in front of our home crowd the effort did not change. Week two another loss to another east team. Same results in the next week at practice poor effort and now the attitudes started getting to some of the players as they dwindled. Week four comes along still no victories for what should be a powerful Windsor
“That was a fantastic season,” Joseph said. “We won the Nova Scotia title and hosted the Atlantics. Unfortunately, New Brunswick coached by Danny Grant (former NHLer) took the tournament. We missed going to the Air Canada Cup by one

Last night at Northridge high school the Newark Catholic Green Wave rolled in Johnstown looking to sing the hometown Northridge Vikings. So far this season for Newark Catholic it has been a very up and down season, where injuries have hurt this team but caused the coaching staff to build depth and for the Vikings it has been a season that have seen get a win over a,5-4 Minford team and posting two other wins.
In the annual Ely Tigers versus Dillard Panthers football game, there was a play caught at the last minute, giving the Ely Tigers the win. The score was 14-10, and Donnell Wilson caught the winning touchdown pass. How he caught it, no one was quite sure. All they knew was in the Ely-Dillard football game, the winning catch was caught by Donnell, it was lucky, and it was a team effort.
The third quarter was dominated by Newark Catholic, but they failed miserably to finish drives and the result netted just one score, when they could have, should have had three.

Being girls of the ages fourteen to eighteen we did not know how to react. We have never in our life went to school and heard all these headlines about how the program we worked so hard to build is not going to make it in our county. Knowing we had no support from anyone besides our coaches and families led us to constantly being down. We were continuously mocked of from higher ranked teams, even if we won a game. All that proceeded in our heads were that how can people think so small of a group of teenage girls. No one wanted to be last in our division anymore, but we didn't have faith in ourselves as a result of no one having confidence in us.
Last night at Swank Field in Heath, Ohio the Newark Catholic Green Wave limped into action against a undefeated and healthy Heath Bulldog team. I think many of the nice size crowd, who knew that the smaller school, minus five starters had no chance of winning and most likely knew that this one would be ugly and that is just what this game was.
Although the Southern Oregon weather hasn’t particularly indicated the start of spring, the season of new beginnings has commenced and brought along with it a fresh new Pirate baseball team thirsty for success. With a varied degree of experience at their repertoire, the Phoenix Pirates look to revitalize a program that has missed the playoffs by one single spot in the past two consecutive years. After completing their preseason with a record over .500, the team transitioned into the league contests and was quickly confronted with some struggles. Through their first six games, the boys were only able to pick up two victories (both against Klamath Union in a double header). They managed to compete with two of the toughest teams in the state when battling against Hidden Valley and Henley, but ultimately dropped all three of the contests featuring those ball clubs. Despite a rocky start, the Pirates seemed poised to make a run for the playoffs coming off a competitive double header in Henley that certainly boosted their confidence for the ensuing games.
At New Milford High School, I will belong to the community of Green Wave football for the duration of my life. As a player, my footprint is not simply measured by the amount of wins our program had during my three years on varsity, but it is measured in the complete revolution of the program under Coach Badaracco’s direction. My freshman year, the football team was a bit of a joke, a meeting ground of players who lacked dedication and work ethic, who continuously were being suspended from school, doing drugs, and partaking in other nefarious activities. When Coach Badaracco was hired, he looked to me to lead. He continuously asked me to display what a proper athlete should look like, someone who excelled in the classroom and was active in the community.
For the issue that I thought would be surprising to me is the issue about concussions and how the coaches had very little knowledge of the symptoms of concussions. I thought coaches would have a broader understanding on concussions and what to look for. But according to this article that there was a lack of concussion management. What also surprised me is that the coaches weren’t consist when it comes to identifying and managing concussions. Which I thought as a football coach you would want to know more about concussions so that you can prevent them and identify them to protect your players specially in football. There was also a lack of education about concussions in smaller schools which made it harder for coaches to identify concussions.
“You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody's crazy. We're not in Wonderland anymore Alice.” (Manson). American cults have been around for thousands of years. Cults can be religious, spiritual, or based on common interests. American cults have driven themselves into American culture; tearing apart families, towns, and driving people mad. The Mason Family cult, Heaven’s Gate, and The Peoples Temple are just a few of the horrific cults that have been stained this country over the past 50 years.
With the Christmas tournament aside, we entered the post-season without a loss. We had a plan for each playoff game from districts to regional. We never deviated from the plan, keeping our eye on the target –
