I believe that Jack Ginn's dumba** onside kicks, poor offensive calls, and tendency to place the defense in bad field position will likely be present in the game. While I do think Marion has the talent to compete with Tazewell, I know that Ginn will not utilize it effectively, as he has done throughout his time as coach. When you tell your team football is not supposed to be fun why in the hell would high school boys want to play anymore? There is no way anyone can come to this man's defense as to what he has done with this program. Here's to hoping each team has an injury-free game.
LOL I’m with you on everything you said man. Hey we just scored let’s kick an onsides kick and give them the ball around midfield nah forget that let’s kick an onsides kick every time we score a TD or FG and we aren’t going to have anyone back to receive a punt. This program is toast and it’s sad cause they have some talented kids
I think the volleyball team and girls basketball teams at Marion are very solid. The Volleyball team recently won a state title and competed for another. The boys basketball team has competed very well. Swim team does great. Had a couple of state champions recently. I'm not sure why you think athletics in general are pretty bad in Marion. Didn't the golf team just win the region D title? Marion has a lot to be proud of.
Could you please specify if you are talking about the program as a whole or the people in charge of it. Those boys go out every damn Friday night and give it their all, they can't help what play calls are sent in, what position they have been task to play(some who have never played their position before) because Ginn did not let them try out for positions he just picked where everyone would play, or they fact that he doesn't believe in conditioning or playing guys on both O and D. There are several players who read these threads on here and don't need to hear negative things about their team all the time. Bottom line is we got handed a Coach who if you take away his GVSU time has little to no success anywhere else. I had a player tell me that all Ginn did was talk about coaching college and how great he was and that kid said I just wish he would try and coach us. These kids know they have been handed a raw deal but they go out every week and give it their all. The only way to put out the fire is to get a new Principal, AD, and a coach who cares about this program because I truly believe who we have now do not give one shit about it but we all know that isn't going to happen. I'll leave with this Ginn has said several times in front of parents and players that he isn't here to win games he's here to build character, well the last time I checked winning football games was a pretty big deal.
The athletic programs in general are all pretty bad at Marion and has been for a while now I just think the football program has bottomed out more than the others but I agree with you about changes needing to be made.
