Its funny how everyone is throwing around catch phrases like recruiting and open enrollment, when talking about West Catholic. Has it occurred to anyone that Philadelphia is one of the poorest cities in the country and parents make a huge sacrifice by paying tuition? As it appears that you are proud of you community and school, the fact of the matter is Philadelphia has some of the lowest performing schools in the United States of America and if the majority of the students attended there neighborhood schools it would be an injustice. As you guys are concerned about winning football games, it is about giving children an opportunity that they would never have if they went to area schools. Finally, your coaching staff is amazing and you guys had a wonderful year.
It was a state semifinal game with two good teams. But somehow it was 8-2 in penatiles at halftime. And furthermore, it was 6-to-0 in what I like to describe as judgement type calls. Let’s face it, but at the H.S. level you could call holding and illegal blocks on every other play if you wanted too. But somehow in a state semifinal, with two good teams on the field, the guys in stripes decided it should be slanted to favor one team over another. Yea, I’m sure the LB players played a flawless game in that department? Every block was perfect? They never held a stronger/faster team? Anyhow, Coach Fluck did what any good coach would do and let it be known to the officials that the game needed to be officiated a little more evenly. Heck, you’re keeping this team in the game! Wow, I could imagine if it was the other way around and how people would have reacted. In the end it didn’t matter. As your wonderfully coached team struggled to get a first down and needed a piss-poor play by WC to even light up the scorebaord. Yea, he out-coached Fluck ok. Is that why the total yards was 360 to 92? And that’s counting a minus-27 on one play by WC.
Hey, root for your coach. I’m sure he is deserving, but don’t belittle the other guy’s accomplishments in the process.
Coach Tilford because 4 times this year, Mt. Carmel, Southern Columbia, Danville, and Trinity Lewisburg was the underdog playing an away game and Coach Tilford clearly out coached the other teams for a win. In my opinion he out-coached Fluck in the West game. It was 14-7 until late in the 2nd half. West steam rolled every other AA team they played. If you want the cry baby award what about Coach Fluck’s behavior at half time running after the officials to complain and giving quotes in the Philly papers about how the reffing was biased. PIAA rules clearly state that coaches cannot comment in public on officiating.
To the Easternpafootball staff:
When will you announce the Crybaby of the Year Award?
A ton of candidates right here in this thread.
By the way, WC was 10-56 in the 7 years prior to Coach Fluck getting to WC. And I’ll remind all of you closed-minded individuals that open enrollment existed during those years, too. He showed improvement in his first 5 years going a modest 29-32. Since that time he has built a wonderful program, full of terrific kids, and has an overall record of 80-17 in the last 7 years.
I think the guy at Lewisburg did a great job with his club, too. But I’m not going to belittle his accomplishments to make Coach Fluck appear better. That type of behavior is for cowards and insecure individuals.
Some of you people need a life.
I think Nathaniel Brown should be Small School Player of the Year. This article says it better than I can.
