YODA MASTER

I'm currently interviewing for that new show on TV called Yo MTV RAPS!

Theoretically, maybe losing makes a team better. The best thing that happened to this team was losing to Armwood. We ALWAYS get better in defeat.

We live. 4 out of 5 head to head and 2-1 at Lakeland. The classlessness wasn't so much ON the field but off. The fans----grown a** men AND women---HORRIBLE but fun at the same time. Sad these adults spend their time in warm-ups cussing out, throwing the cracker and N-word name calling at my DB's in warmups. Had the opposite effect for our guys. There were conditioned from the start about the streetfight that took place and what lied ahead. I still LOVE everything about Lakeland including their HC. I just don't like the namecalling by the adults. It's pretty bad.

I got Armwood.

Welp! That didn’t work out!

Viera was AWESOME. Their offense was one of the best I’ve seen in a while. I thought they were solid everywhere

When Micah Mcfadden came out of the game either the second or third time—they scored immediately. Micah was doing his best to stay hydrated. But that’s my point! Why would we ask our starting Middle LB who is also the best player on the field to repeatedly come out? He ended up scoring the winning TD BTW.

Seminole44 this is the kind of Mumbo jumbo I’m referring to above. Just downright lies. 19 lies. Pathetic that people think we operate like this. Couldn’t be further from the truth man. I’m not an abrasive person either. I try to build a good reputation among my internet buddies (lots on here know exactly who I am)—my word is my bond. And if I say something I mean it. We don’t coach in any manner upon which we’re being accused in this thread. It’s all I can do is reach out and say my peace.

This right here—not very nice man.

It’s nothing you said necessarily. The earlier posts on this thread by some people try to make this “convincing case” that we’re corrupt coaches that stole this game away from Viera’s destiny by cheating. It’s merely sour grapes. Let me flip the script here and add with all due respect that our players backs were against the wall and I’m damn proud that they found a way—coming together to collectively fight through a night where we didn’t have our best stuff at the beginning and won the game. We gave them a lot of opportunities to break the game open but our defense wasn’t having it. I was proud to hold their offense to what we did given our offensive struggles early. When our offense needed our defense the most we came through and gave them the ball. 2 Minutes, 90+ yards—it was like clockwork and one of the sweetest victories we’ve ever had

I remember the TD on the kickoff called back—GREAT penalty. The outside blocker affected the play by mauling our contain guy—it was blatant and the ball carrier ran right through that lane. It was a great call. I don’t remember the other TD called. We knew what we were up against that night. We found a way to win in spite of four turnovers that GAVE them easy points. We played quite bad the first half. The game is 4 quarters. We stepped up when we needed to. It was a great game honestly. One of the memorable ones for us. We move on

I come here in good faith to communicate with you. It’s not a matter of denying. I coach our DB’s I’m in every huddle my friend. Some seem pretty convinced that’s what we did in order to gain some competitive advantage. False. We’ve had issues cramping the past month to be honest and yes it’s odd and frustrating. It DID cost us a TD when their TB broke that one run because our best player was off the field for cramping. I’m never surprised anymore at what internet tough guys and people standing outside the fence say about us. It comes with the territory. We focus on what we can control.

The refs were not responsible for our defense stuffing your offense numerous times. We played like complete horsesh** the first quarter but our defense minimized the damage from 4 turnovers by refusing to let them in the end zone and go for field goals. We make them go three and out the last two drives. Our offense finally got it together and drove 94 yards in 2 minutes. One penalty you’re complaining about yet the refs warned that idiot NOT to push the amplified gong button during the cadence of the QB THREE TIMES. The third time they throw the flag. Your own head coach pleaded with the PA announcer not to do it (he got on the headsets with the dude). He did it—and was flagged. I applaud it in lieu of the numerous other issues we had with their admin over there.

I assure you we were more worried about how to minimize their electric offense to 18 points as opposed to their usual 50’s games than asking our kids to flop. I stand up for my program man. It’s not how we roll. You are free to believe what you want but that’s your deal. I’m on the inside and I can guarantee you that we didn’t ask our kids to flop. That’s cheap and dirty.

We definitely would never tell our guys to fake a cramp. Our two best players on defense went down three times with cramps. Micah Mcfadden and Smoke Mungin are two of the best players on our team. Why on earth would we have THOSE two guys off the field when we so desperately need them out there EVERY play? They scored right up the middle when Micah was out for a play even! That makes ZERO sense. If I were going to make a kid fake a cramp—it would have been other players. NOT those guys. Lastly—it’s just not how we roll man. Those of you who know our staff—we don’t operate like that fellas. Find another axe to grind
