BigSky. Did your son play QB for Mt. Airy a few years ago?

Yes, last couple of years,first couple with TJ. They had some great battles with The knights over the years, When I think of Middletown football I think of The Pirroni family.Not only were all the boys great players they were great young men. When the games would get a little chippy you could always count on them to step up as leaders and keep their team focused. They have some great adult leaders and coaches over there, not only in the boys sports but also in the girls.
They say the fish stinks from head down. In Middletown's case I have a funny feeling the opposite is the case. The greatness of the teams is based on the foundation of a legendary Coach and current AD Ambrose and the foundation he has built.

Why do you want to bring up comparisons between our kids bud in a chat about private and public school football other than bush league bragging? . Is everything competition for you sports--sporster? However, those are some stellar accomplishments for those group of kids. Congrats........mom did well. But let me school you cause you seem to need it. Understand that you can take all of that and $6.50 and buy a happy meal with all that me, I, mine.




But the bottom line here that you don't know jack about sports to opin that a top flight public football team in Maryland can't be competitive against the private mediocre to bottom feeder teams.

Students from Brunswick set turf on fire a few weeks after it was installed. Field was patched with excess from initial install.

Well, so much for know-it-all BS who said ..."the fact when kids lit the new turf [at Middletown] on fire GC gave them leftover turf to patch field..." Sad that you continue to be wrong under your umbrella of being so knowledgable, experienced, and an insider. BS, you seem to have a solid history of being wrong.

Not wrong about turf came from GC,Not wrong about QO Damascus, You are. Yes I will give my wife a lot of credit. Ha you actually got something right. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut. Go back to Drama (house wife of PG County)

Can someone clear up for me this august 18th thing? How is that any earlier than before? I always thought it was around the 14th-16th

[First_Down]

There is nothing to clear up MDhsfbfan. It's just BigSky's typical privates are so much head and shoulders above publics - know-it-all BS. I recall reading dialog where BS came on this board ranting about Patterson fans smoking the cheba at a game against Urbana. He supposedly was on the Urbana side of the field and claimed he could smell it as it was that strong. However, he was the only one at the game who seem to smell it. NO ONE else affirmed his claim. He also claim to witness plays that simply did not happen the way he stated he saw it from the sideline and this guy was an experienced official. It made me wonder who was actually smoking that cheba or who downed one too many beers or something else.

Mid-August is about when public football practice typically start with the required number of days one MUST practice before scrimmages and the start of the season when school starts. Privates tend to get down to real football business earlier with many going off to team camps, right BS?

[watson34]

If you look at it Privates are far better than Public's. The public's could not field a team that could beat GC, DeMatha, Gonzaga, Gilman, or CHC last year. Yes they are the top schools but no public would come close to beating them. The next tear of Privates you have to go to the Top Teams in the 4a and 3a, or Dunbar to compete. Yes Douglass beat Spalding, but that's just one game. Middletown would not beat or come close to beating any of the major privates. The power football game would be shut down because most privates are equally or bigger in the front seven that Middletown has ever seen. Schools like River Hill, Damascus (sp) would be shut down by the higher level coaching to their constant schemes.

Dunbar would beat many of the other schools out there whether 4a, 3a or otherwise and they were dismantled by CHC. If it were any other coach, CHC would have put up 50. No disrespect to public's but the Private schools when you look at the numbers (Small amount of Prives, Large Amount of Publics) and the level of superiority for privates. Privates are much. much better. Face the facts, or call one of the schools above for a game like scrimmage and have it thrusted upon you personally.

I totally agree with you. I have always said this. Others have disagreed, not I. That is why MIAA A teams should not be ranked or compared to public schools. Could a good public catch an A team in a bad year? Yes, but year in and year out it is no comparison. Money, recruiting, coaches and facilities are far superior and it shows.

Outside, What this thread was really about is Maryland public schools are starting classes early this year on August 18. There has been conversation on this board that when Privates have played publics in the first week or to, That it was a overwhelming advantage for the privates because most of the private leagues start a handful of days earlier. Is school starting earlier for the publics going to level the playing field. You have to ignore the (House wife of PG) that insist on creating conflict. I personally think it will help the publics and feel a week of practice is a advantage.

[First_Down]

PLEASE!!!!!!! Let's not confuse Gilman or Good Counsel with the entire privates entity. The privates ARE NOT Gilman nor Good Counsel top to bottom. Right now the privates are up and on a run and there were times the publics were the dawgs having their day. For example, CHC now is NOT the CHC of yester-years as was posted about their record over time. CHC is on a high for a mere 3 or 4 years but they were so-so at best for many years before that. watson34, I noted your comment that Douglass beat Spalding but you called it just one game. I recall Douglass waxed private Paul VI for two straight seasons prior to playing Spalding. Hell, 1A Fort Hill gave Mount Saint Joe all it could handle for a couple years with Fort Hill beating MSJ. Those are some hard cold solid facts. Talk of what Middletown, a repeated champ, can't do against any privates is non-sense speculation. Again, the privates are not all Gilman. Lutheran, Friends, Carmel, St John's, Annapolis Christian, Palloti, St. Mary's, MSJ, GT Prep, Riverdale Baptist, St. Albans, B McNamara, and a host of other privates just ain't Good Counsel and they would be in a dawg fight against the likes of Middletown, Douglas-PG, Patuxent, McDonough, Westlake, North Point, Wise, Quince Orchard, Dunbar, Fort Hill, River Hill, Gwynn Park, Flowers, Huntingtown, and need I name more publics!!!!!!! Wasn't there a season Douglass and Gwynn Park spanked CHC...

Yep yep, you can say now that the publics can't field a team to beat Gilman, DeMatha, Gonzaga, Good Counsel, or Calvert Hall BUT there was a time in my time of 2006 that the privates didn't recruit a team to handle Friendly, Edmondson, Suitland, Northwest, River Hill and Sherwood. They may have been ranked 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - and 6 in 2006. That may have been the year the rest of the top teams were Quince Orchard, Urbana, McDonough, Gwynn Park, Flowers, Dunbar, Fort Hill, Damascus, Westlake, and other publics.

The point is that things go in cycles... What goes around, comes around!

Outside - MDHSfan, if this is all about the August 18,2013 date BS is citing as the start of public school in Maryland then we can all lay down our guns cause BS has shyte all confused yet again. First, August 18 is a SUNDAY and I doubt if Maryland public schools will start then. Second, BS may have teachers report date confused with students first day of class. Teachers report before students. That's the way things tend to work and BS just has it all whacked. We can all now return to our regularly scheduled programming and just don't listen to BS nor his fibbin' side-kick BigC, two losers.

I may not be sure about the rest of the state But Frederick starts on the 19th. 1st down I did hit the wrong Key it happens. Teachers and students will be in class. Some is wrong is it whacked BS or Drama(Housewife of PG County) Turns out their might be a bigger advantage to the privates, because with fall sports practice starting at least in Frederick on the 15th These teams will actually lose a week of 2 a days. The rule and Change was passed arounf the 22nd of January some websites might have not updated yet. All county's may not be under the same rules. Again Frederick County has moved the school year up.

So now FredCo represent all MD publics or set the standard for all districts? And you may not be sure about the rest of the state. Well, let me help you since you like links:

Now listen very carefully BigSky, if county school districts can have different starting dates and a level playing field is key to public sports, then early starting school districts could have an advantage over later starting schools. Now how do you think that unbalance is corrected? But of course you "...forgot more about Sports,Training,athletes then [ I ] will ever Know....". Therefore, you should know, especially as an insider with so many years as an official, that the MPSSAA set the starting dates for all sports regardless of school class start dates and that sports start dates have been set out to about 2020 by the Maryland public school sports governing body and it's mid-August every year for football. Consequently, your FredCo and other school districts CLASS start dates is MOOT! Now confused you BigSky has been schooled by a housewifel!

Cause firstDown(Real Housewife of PG County) Because when public fall sports begin all schools start on the 15th and Frederick County starts classes on the 19th and other schools that may start on the 26th. The Frederick County schools will have 1 week less of 2 a days Hint(they will be in class) there Dumb a-ss. The only Idiot that talked about Frederick as a standard was you.If you interpret the Statement that says I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE REST OF THE COUNTIES mean frederick is a standard. Again you r a Dumb a-s. You keep trying to twist everything because your failure and falling short in your life as a MAN.Please (continue hiding behind a Internet name like a COWARD. Some people are athletes some are not. Its all right that your soft,your wife puts up with it, why shouldn't I. Heck she has to deal with it in the bedroom as well.LOL That Is why the real name that fits you.Is(Real House Wife of PG County) cause thats the way Drama queens act/

If I do say so myself

[First_Down]

Bud

When you said you weren't sure about the start date of other schools districts, I listed some for you to show you that school districts select their own start dates BUT I further informed you that the MPSSAA decided the sports start dates and that they have done so out to 2020!!!!!

But the thread started by you is about publics --- in your save face FredCo slant --- starting practice the same time the privates start thus there should be no supposed advantage of the privates over the publics and you wanted to sit back and assess how things are going to go. But I've informed you that when any school district elect to start school is completely independent of when the MPSSAA say they can start practice and they say mid-August for football. You simply and wrongfully had practice start linked to class start. You were wrong and confused and you are quite often wrong and confused yet you come off with such great knowledge and experience. But you just don't know what you don't know and often argue such wrong assinine points. But I do like arguing with you. You play into it so well led by the nose.

Anywhat, no worry about FredCo missing out on 2-a-days. They can make up for it and more at the various in-resident "camps" teams attend where they will do 4-a-days from sun up to sun down. Remember the days when schools like Heref.... went off to PA as a team to work and possibly even do contact work before contact work was permitted in MD. There are many imaginative coaches or programs out there. But you know all about that, right, just like you knew about the MPSSAA seting the practice start date?

[First_Down]

...when public fall sports begin all schools start on the 15th and Frederick County starts classes on the 19th and other schools that may start on the 26th. The Frederick County schools will have 1 week less of 2 a days Hint(they will be in class) there Dumb a-ss.

Your ability to reason is so ever increasingly whacked BigSky. The sports start date just mandate when practice may start. There is nothing that mandate the number of 2-a-day practices teams may or must have. There are rules about start dates, days of practice before contact or playing in games and when games may start, etc. There is nothing in the rules about parity of 2-a-day practices that is essentially done by tradition and teams may choose NOT to even do 2-a-days. Come on BigSky, a housewife should not have to 4-1-1 a most knowledgable and experience sports junkie like you of such trivial facts. FredCo not having a week of 2-a-days is MOOT again. The issue is the days to practice before contact and when games may start from when practice start. I really need you to up your game if we are to continue to have substantive dialog Biggie...
