VC is not even electing to return punts. Just letting the ball land and roll. Could this be the worst WCAL loss ever? I hope the SHC admin is watching this.
 
Sad.

I feel for the kids, particularly the seniors. As a coach, what can you say to them? Maybe that football isn't an end to itself and these losses build character as you become an adult. As a parent, what can you say to your son? Why would you want your son to risk an injury, for what? I am sure a few are holding their breathe til Nov.

That is one long trip from Valley Christian to the city. Too bad for SHC program the SI game is next week. What incentive will these kids have to compete after that game?

City, Your comment has me scratching my head a bit in disbelief. Just getting the opportunity to play is more than enough. The overwhelming majority of kids only have four years of their lives to play regardless of whether their team is successful or not. I know even as an old guy I still remember the thrill and magic of playing under the lights and wouldn't trade it for anything.
 
2wcats...I agree..I played for the IRISH...we took bus rides to practice to the polo fields and got rides back when we could. We had a winning season as a junior and a bad one senior year. We weren't the powerhouse then like we still aren't now but I still enjoyed the camaraderie and running out into the field to hit someone and the smell of fresh grass. It would have been nice to win more games, but I am not ashamed since we all did the best we could, win or lose you had to represent. Good times and learned a lot about life. Football and frankly sports for lots of boys' kept us in school and made it tolerable to attend classes like chemistry, etc at 8am the next day. Because I definitely didn't like that...lol. Although, I do understand CityVibes2 comments as well. One thing for sure, SHC is playing SI this week, win or lose, it is always a fun game and students will find a way to get motivated for one of the oldest traditions in the nation.

Scott, did you really refer to SHC as a current "powerhouse"! By what stretch of the imagination?
 
Heard there were some Crusaders at the VC-SHC game last Sat night supporting their Irish/SF Warrior bros JWS and Keith Ishmael.
 
Fubo...its nice to see you reading and caring about SHC, we are a powerhouse in dancing but it is nice to be able to dance with girls, but what would you know about that at Riordan? Yes Jordan24....its not all hatred like Fool boo wants. He will never be happy even now that Riordan is winning.

Back in the day most of us didn't like guys who went to the other schools, ( for whatever reason) even the ones we went to grammar school with; in my case I wanted to keep that edge and never wanted to let down against them. That theory does not apply today as it did then, maybe it's for the best.
 
Yes...rabbit5....I think the missing element is now lots of kids go to SF schools and they do not live in the city for one. (mostly peninsula, and some marin, but mostly SI for marin) Secondly, the rivalries also revolve around a lot more things than just the boys' who attend the "trinity" schools now in SF.

You and rabbit5 are both right. Now the games, more so with SI than Riordan are more like a party at the football and baseball games. Less so for basketball with two sets of 2300 people shouting at each other at USF.

Colonel: Very funny...

Fool: Look up some Riordan scores like 62-0 vs. St. Francis or 55-6 vs. Sacred Heart Cathedral.
