I wonder if the head coach of this team is feeling pressure to step down, or apologize for hurting his opponents' feelings, or is being accused of having no place in our contemporary educational system?

Don't know about the coaches feelings, etc ... but I am looking forward to seeing them play! They were very impressive last year and only seem to be more so this year.

I remember the Brooksmith Boys Basketball team in the mid 70's used to try and hit 100 ppoints on everyone they played. The first time they played us it was something like 80-56. The second time we played deliberate "stall ball' and they only beat us something like 20-11. Killed their averages, they won, but we had our "own" victory.

Saw the Brookesmith Boys score 8 to 10 of Santa Anna's points in a game. They were coached by the legendary Ralph Bates. SA was pressing the dog out of B and so Ralph had them shoot for SA. Funny. Many, many Ralph stories. Savannah, you at the Chelle when he coached there?

Who can forget Ralph Bates, hard chargin, sailor talking, son of a gun. He coached along with Coach Charles Donahoe who was very religious. It was hysterical sometimes. Coach Donahoes cussing rules applied to the coaches also. I've seen Coach Bates run (er lumber) around the football fields for laps on more than one occassion.

Drifter, I was at Rochelle during Johnny Bradshaw, Ralph Bates, Doug Snowden and Charles Donahoe ('68-'76)

Know three of the four, how funny. Were you among the bunch who "snuck" off from practice when Ralph was laying under the oaks on the rock wall and went to sleep during practice. Ha Hilarious, I have a couple on him that need to be on a comedy show, but they are R rated, but he was a hoot.

 

[SavannahSixManFan]

Drifter, I admit to nothing...lol

Coach Bates used to be so mean that he would make us play soccer with a football... talk about the unexpected bounce...
