GAME STORY: Palatka routs Eastside 34-7 in kickoff classic

You know folks, I really feel for Eastside. A few years ago they were a powerhouse and were feared by every north central team. Then all of this transfer stuff started to happen. The Rams can't keep good players as they are consistently transferring to other area schools. I do realize that Eastside is not the best school academically, which may have a lot to do with it. But, I would think that there would be more loyalty to a team that could be built into a powerhouse once again if those players thought of the school a much as they thought of themselves.  :(

Things have changed a lot there, back in like 06 I think it was they knocked us out of the playoffs, these days they might not even score a point, I wonder if they will ever be able to recover

The only thing that they need is a really good experienced HC and assistants who would instill in them the benefits of staying with the school and thus making the team a respected one as they used to be. The right HC can do wonders where others have failed.

Every time I have seen Eastside play their players are extremely athletic and fast. They remind me of Rickards from a few years ago. Kept wondering why the team I was witnessing playing against us was so inept. They too had the athletes and speed. I notice that Rickards is starting to develop into a pretty respectable team. Must have the right coaching now. If they can do it so can Eastside.

    • So your saying if a team has like 15 transfers in one season,  I need to have like a team of investigators and video tape to realize that the coach is recruiting. Come on. The truth is all of the super teams recruit and yes some players come because of the winning culture. I know its impossible to get full proof  on everyone that cheats and even when they do have evidence and catch teams red handed like Winter Park.....NOTHING HAPPENED. Its the reason they should have competitive promotion and demotion so all the super teams who do bend (CHEAT) the rules get to beat each other up. 
    • I’m not saying it doesn’t occur. What I am saying is that everything is case by case so if you are accusing a specific coach/team of cheating, I would at least like to see the evidence of the accusation. Because if you don’t then you are basically defaming them with gossip 
    • Are you saying illegal recruiting does not occur in Florida ?     Wake up and take your blinders off
    • Dang shame. Wonder what it was about. Wonder if the principle was meddling out of his element.    There was a story near me about Land O Lakes High. Before the season, 2 freshman were slap boxing and other kids were filming it. One kid was obviously winning over the other with the kids in the background cheering it on. So when it got leaked, it was interpreted as hazing. As if all the kids in the background were sanctioning it.    Without one second of investigation the principal shut the entire football program down. Varsity season cancelled over 2 freshman slap boxing. It caused a shit storm. Local news swarmed the school. Parents outraged. Protesting outside the office demanding the principal be fired.    They finally asked some quick questions and it was determined to be exactly what it was originally said it was. Football was reinstated but JV missed the first game over it.    The principal was some punk pencil neck who looks like he never played a sport in his life and many people came out and said he had it out for the football program and he was the same way at his old school.    I say all that to say is this a similar case of some pencil neck principal who never played sports trying to undermine and butt in to something that they are way out their element on? 
    • Word is, Coach Banks the former head coach was escorted off campus last week after a heated discussion with the principle. from what i have been told this stems from banks talking to the paper about the program.
