Last year, Bergen Catholic NJ lost to Don Bosco in the regular season 31-7. Then in the title game, Bergen turned around and beat Bosco 45-0! 
 

Point is it’s really hard to beat a team twice. Especially when you are close in quality. Dillard should be more focused and hungry. Ely might be reading their own press clippings. Paws up Panthers, it’s game day!!!!

Touchdown Dillard 7-0 1st qt

Most teams, good or bad, play better from the front. There are a few that tend to come from behind, but personally, I don't like that drama. Take the lead early and pull away towards the finish. That's the way to do it in the playoffs. Leave no doubt!

Tigers miss the field goal att Dillard take over

Quarter back with another interception after the defense does it’s job. I’m sorry but I’m not even upset with the defense tonight this quarter back here has turned into a turnover machine. Fans calling for the back up qb 

 

and the players are agreeing with the fans that’s not a good at all smh

What’s crazy is that dillard came out with great energy drove down the field scored. defense got an interception and the qb fumbled it on the very next play. On the very next possession defense got a three and out qb threw a bad interception which ely scored off of. He single handily drew the life out the team and now they’re out there goin threw the motions.

Ely 28 Dillard 6, 

tigers have scored 28 unanswered points. Panthers lone score was the first drive of the game. @nolebull813 @DarterBlue2

 

this game is over , the panthers jus scored to make it 12-28 but once again they waited to late to get it going just bad team bad coaching all the way around. 

Sad. What could have been. Gotta feel for the kids who stuck it out when everyone left. They will be winners in life for it.

    • I think the argument is this:  if 'free adults are allowed to give gifts to poor kids who happen to be good at sports,' we move from an amateur environment into a professional environment.   Historically, high school sports, college sports and even the Olympics were reserved solely for amateur athletes.  Within the last couple of decades, the barriers for professionals started to erode for the Olympics.   You may recall that Jim Thorpe won gold medals in track in the 1912 Olympics, but was stripped of those medals because he had played minor league (or "semipro") baseball prior to participating in the Olympics.   Ultimately, those medals were restored a few years ago.  The USA Olympic basketball team used to be comprised only of college players.  Now, it's all pros (with one or two college stars).  Within the last 5-10 years, NIL changes have permitted college athletes to receive compensation. Before then, the rules in place for decades allowed college student-athletes to receive room, board and tuition.  The $100 post-game handshakes from alums in the locker room and brown paper bags filled with money - although they happened everywhere - were illegal (and arguably still are; they just don't happen as much because the athletes can receive money legally through NIL). The NIL world is quickly filtering down to the high school level.  However, the rules in most all states, and certainly in Florida, are rooted in the concept that only amateur athletes can compete in high school sports.   And if you allow athletes to receive gifts, or otherwise compensate them or their families, such athletes are no longer considered amateurs.   Simply put, the rules has always been that if you get compensated to do play a sport, you are considered a professional.  And professionals cannot participate in amateur sports.  Again, the rules in place (FHSAA Rules) are rooted in a clear distinction between amateur sports and professional sports.  There was a clear line that is slowly becoming more and more blurred. If you want the argument as to why the rule makes sense, I think it is this:   there is a certain beauty in amateur sports, knowing that everyone who is playing is playing for the love of the game and not for money.  Everything changes once you start compensating athletes.  As I have stated before, the concept of compensation is a slippery slope.  What do you allow and what don't you?   FHSAA rules prohibiting impermissible benefits were written before Uber even existed. But the rule is pretty clear:  if you give something to football players that you don't give to all other students, that's an impermissible benefit - especially if the benefit is given to entice a kid to come to your school.   If you allow schools/coaches/alums to compensate kids to play sports, then you take away the somewhat-level playing field.  And, over time, certain schools will dominate high school sports because they will have the financial wherewithal to attract the most talented athletes.  While this might be good for the handful of select, talented athletes, everyone else suffers.   I guess the real question is whether we just want to eliminate the distinction between amateur athletics and professional athletics altogether and simply allow the free-market system to play out for all athletes and all schools?  If you're inclined to answer this question with a "yes," I have only six words for you:  be careful what you wish for.   
    • Yes of course big shot, how dare anyone try to help some young man out with a generous offer from his own pocket! Did the new pinstripe suits arrive yet from Brooks Brothers, F. Lee Bailey, Clarence Darrow Jr?!  
    • ESPN quotes Bridgewater's Facebook post as follows:  "The suspension came from MNW and it's impossible to suspend someone who doesn't work for you.  So if im suspended from MNW im free to go to another school of my choice but IM NOT GOING ANYWHERE. "And if it comes down to it, I will volunteer from the bleachers like I used to in 2018 and 2019 when no one had a problem." Honestly, it seems like the guy has a bit of 'the rules don't apply to me' or 'I don't have to follow the rules' mentality. 
    • Yeah, where is Darter Blue? I didn't scare and chase him off like I did other posters, did I?!   
    • Yes it's true and the alumni president stepped down. From what I read the alumni president went downtown or wherever and said something. I don't know if Teddy rubbed someone the wrong way but this is what I read. But see here's the thing about this situation. Northwestern has a strong alumni and community support. Half if not all the politicians in politics graduated from Northwestern and local pastors. If this was such a big issue something should have been said way before now and I think because Teddy asked for donations this all came about. Teddy has the money to take care of these things but why should he go broke doing it.
