    falconfan1 reacted to SWVAFB in Marion ??????   
    If I am not mistaken, the 100+ mailboxes were destroyed on or about Aug 14-15. Rumors began on social media shortly afterwards, and social media also suggested some football players were involved. As I said earlier, as I read, the ones who committed the felonies began to tell on each other, as teenagers often do. The fact of the matter is, "does the punishment fit the crime", period? To destroy one mail box is a federal offense. To destroy 100+ mail boxes is unconceivable to me, especially without those involved being punished by the court system and the school system, with more than a slap on the wrist. Full restitution of the mailboxes to the owner(s) is in order in all cases such as this. When something of this nature takes place and involves our schools student athletes, we as citizens and tax payers expect prompt and just decisions to be made on the matters at hand from the school officials. If I am not mistaken, back in the spring, some baseball players were suspended a game or two for bullying an African American fellow player. In other words, this is not Marion's first rodeo in dealing with suspending athletes for actions unbecoming to the school and the community. I would think that our federal authorities are involved in this case, and I have confidence that justice will prevail in the end.

    falconfan1 reacted to coachm in BHC article: SWVA football decline   
    Watching football for for over 35 years and I am near 50 the article was good. I think Coach Robbins is correct on every area. SOL testing has scared adminstrators into hiring what is perceived as great teachers. Outside of PE the best teachers are the men coaching football in my opinion. The demenads of teaching coupled with coaching long hours has caused many good coahces to stop.
    As far as strength training I would have to disagree I think strength in not the problem speed is. Check the times from track meets 15 years ago to today, not even close. The kids we see around here on friday nights are big strong kids for the most part.

    falconfan1 got a reaction from Chappy in Parent files Bullying complaint after sons team loses 91-0.   
    The last two posts were well stated.  I guess now we can see why the team got beat 91-0.  Mommy and daddy that filed the grievance were not out on the field blocking and tackling for their son.  I shouldn't be surprised though, we have become a country of nothing but cry babies that want something for nothing.
