So as everyone knows the Gaither vs Clearwater game was close (27-20). Every week the Tampa Times reports on local games. The title of the article for this week's game "Gaither pulls off the resounding late rally vs Clearwater," as I read the article guess which head coach and their team was mentioned... Plant. I guess Plant was still in the playoffs until this past Friday. What do you all think about this, No Issue or Disrespectful?

Part of the article written by the times:

"The Tornadoes pulled out all the stops to prepare for Friday night. Plant coach Robert Weiner, who is good friends with Clearwater coach Don Mesick, stopped by Thursday's practice to speak to the team. Weiner also was in the stands on Clearwater's side with a few of his players."

Thoughts?

Not sure why it was worth reporting.  I'm also not sure why Weiner would go to Clearwater's practice to speak to the team.  Some coaches go to other teams practices in the playoffs to learn what successful teams are doing.  They also give coaches advice on teams they have played and when you attend a game you have to sit on one side or the other so I have no problem with all that.  Weiner is a great motivator, maybe Mesick asked him to do him a favor.

the cowboys just need to focus on Lake minneola. I was at the game. They played really good in spots and very sloppy in other spots. They've got to tighten up some turn over issues and they need to run the ball more effectively. The defense looks good enough. And the offense is good when clicking but it goes into cold spells.

I can see them beating mineola because the games at home and they are playing fairly well overall

But I'm not sure they get past Escambia or Robert e Lee unless they played a perfect game. Not sure they have that in them

Coach Weiner and Coach Mesick are very good friends.  Coach Mesick asked Coach Weiner to come speak to his team and Coach Weiner obliged.   That said, it was not worth mentioning in the article about the game, especially since Clearwater lost.  Beyond that, non-issue.

The 2 are close friends and the teams work out together and do camps together in the off season.

They should have let Joey Knight cover that game . . . so he could have taken a picture of the empty stadium two hours before the game to show what the 'game atmosphere' was like.   B)

    • For clarity, it appears that Northwestern, not the FHSAA, administered the suspension.  Not sure that does, or does not, render the arguments here moot, but one could argue that the school is trying to get out ahead of this.  
    • Given the rules, the suspension seems reasonable. But, as others have suggested, the rules can easily be said to be absurd. Since when, in America, is the voluntary gifting of items or services a bad thing? Are we going to start infiltrating Christmas celebrations to see if anyone got presents deemed to be bad? "Have a look at what's under the Christams tree, there might be some Uber gift cards or other things and we can't have anyone giving those out!" If Teddy Bridgewater is OK paying for some uber rides etc, why is that a bad thing? Sure, it gives MNW an advantage in attracting players. So what? Maybe it'll be a waste of his money. Again, so what? There does need to be more robust conversations around all of this. Yes, the rules should be the same for everyone. Yes, if they aren't the same, and/or some break them while many others don't, that is unfair. But, what, in all seriousness, is the case against allowing free adults to give gifts to poor kids who happen to be good at sports? The only argument I've heard is that it's against the rules. I'm not seeing anyone argue the rule itself makes sense in a free society.
    • Nolebull is ordering his "Free Teddy B" shirt right now
    • Looks like the FHSAA has agreed with Perspective rather than NoleBull and has chosen to suspend HC Bridgewater while they investigate these impermissible benefits given to players.  Why have rules if you aren't going to enforce them and if you don't like them then work to have them changed. 
    • If it’s for something reasonable like a Gatorade and water donation & they reach out to the community of course I will help.    it’s all within reason tho. 14,000 for a 3 day gym stay is unreasonable. 2,000 a week for food. Me & a few alumni would just get together and cook.
