    I’ve actually seen OC play twice. The first was in ‘07 vs. a Joaquin team that went 10-3 and was eliminated in regional finals by eventual state champ Alto. The game was over by the end of the first quarter. Joaquin’s two starting WBs (we were in the heyday of the double wing years) were NEVER tackled. They both scored every time they touched the football. The OC kids had the look of a group that wanted nothing to do with football. The second time was this past September, in week 2. It took Joaquin till mid-second quarter to blow it open, in a game we won 56-0. The common denominator in the two OC teams, 11 years apart and under different head coaches, was a complete lack of physicality and toughness. Both teams appeared to have a couple of athletes that seemed like they should match up well with the best we had. The difference was in the “other kids”, or the ones who rarely get their name called but are the backbone of a good football team. OC’s kids in the trenches were severely lacking, and it wasn’t because they were matched up with a bunch of future SEC linemen. Joaquin’s linemen are average sized on a good day. They were just better prepared. 

    Completely disagree!

    Let's see if we can't keep the comments a little less abrasive, shall we? Unless you know that there is a problem with the field house showers at a particular school, "They stink" is not an acceptable comment for this forum. These are teenagers we're talking about, and many of them, and their parents, read what is posted here. Keep that in mind. Also, discussing a coach's game planning and decision making is fine, but leave his character out of the conversation. Thank you.

    Agreed! No need bashing players or Coaches on here

    I think ND is still a young team now having to learn a new system. I think they are on the right track with the new staff, my son played there a couple of years back, and there was needing to be some coaching changes then. When I heard that the coaches were blaming the kids last year for not having any talent instead of looking at themselves when losing ballgames then something had to be done. After all, the kids that lost every game last year had successful seasons while playing sub varsity ball but looked like they had never played together when they started playing on Friday night, "win as a team lose as a team" didn't seem to be a motto last year. Its a new year and the coaches that couldn't get it done are gone, so give the new staff a chance before giving up, I believe they will be successful in another year or so. Eagles, keep your heads up, you don't stink, good luck

    I can assure you the coaches last year were not blaming kids for not having any talent. Not sure who started that rumor. You have good years and you have bad years. It happens at all schools. No need to bash coaches from last year. They are all great coaches and wonderful men. Good luck to the Eagles this season.

    3rd is great in spite of everything they went through! HMM.. Henry Taylor you say? Who is your grandson? My name is Tweety Bird as stated in my username. All the stuff you are stating sounds very familiar? In fact just like a ton of emails that have been floating around with info about coaches and stats. Which all the info in the emails just like yours are incorrect. Please get facts straight before opening your mouth.

    Like I said he is a great Coach with not much talent to work with. Oh and don't go spreading lies about the baseball program sir!!! They were picked 1st and got 3rd not 4th!!! They had to overcome so many tragedies last year. It was amazing the team played as well as they did with the two deaths during their season. Also the year before they were picked 5th in district and they got 1st! So if you don't know the facts....Keep your mouth shut!! Thank You!!
