i bet ANON from the other Pirate baseball post is gonna say that if Hanson had played the #2's Pike would be on top right now. go ahead, bawl about it.

i congradulate the Pirates and Hanson on a great season. i do wish we could beat the britches off those snooty rich boys. that is what happens when these private schools {GISA} are allowed to play public {GHSA} schools. they can recruit players...if public schools pulled in players like they are allowed to do, it is a violation. i say we should protest these private schools from being able to play GSHA.

opps... i guess i might be a whiner after all!!!

I know for a fact that not one of the kids on that team have been recruited. most of them have been there since kindergarden, and live within 10 miles of the school. I can't fit the number of boys who have less than a ten minute drive to school each day on one hand. Quit complaining about us having an unfair advantage because we can recruit, Westminster is an academically focused institution, they don't care enough about athletics to recruit. Just keep in mind, you make yourself look like a fool when you make such baseless accusations.

oh yeah, just like next door in Lamar County. the Trojans lost to Blessed Trinity. BT is another private GISA schools that is allowed to play GHSA. i have no problem losing gracefully if on a level playing field.

"The coaching staff is made up of highly trained professional educators. We currently have 90 individuals serving in 139 coaching positions."

this was taken directly from the Westminster school website. not much emphasis placed on athletics,huh..... 90 coaches seem to be a bit much for a double A school....i believe that a lot of these schools compete ferociously for above average atheletes.

wow, does Pike County even have 90 teachers?
