Congradulations to that pigskin coach and to coach griff,hope you have a great season.What was the name of that pigskin team can anyone help. On another note did you see any local games this weekend,what a terrible weekend does anyone down here teach quater back skills or secondary skills at all.My job is to get starters like Cliffort dukes,John duckett,players like this to play semi pro. In the games i watched so far one name stands out Vergill Dickerson 22 for chopticon a wounder to watch play maby with some blocking chopticon will win a game or two with this kid,and a new secondary.Great job Virgill player of the week.

Semiprofootball: One thing in your reply stood out: "how to get the grades, good enough to play the next year". I believe that is the biggest problem that the coaches have throughout the county. We have very talented players in all sports here but some of them don't do what it takes in the classroom. St Mary's school system requires a 2.0 GPA to play sports...that is not hard to maintain doing the year. Doing well in school could lead to grater things, sports being one of them. I'm doing my part in trying to get this message across and I hope that others are doing the same. This process should start in Middle School. To play a sport in college at Division I requires 16 core courses and Division II 14 core courses. I would say over none of the incoming Freshman have not been told this and 2013 Div II will change to Div I requirements. If a young man or woman plans on playing sports in college they need to read up on this and the parents too! The National Collegiate Athletic Association web site NCAA Eligibility Center Online has all the information and a student has to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center to play a sport in college. Coaches, if you feel that you have a player who could play at the next level be it D1, D2, D3, NAIA or NJCAA get this information to you players. Parents you need to promote you son or daughter by going to colleges web sites and doing the sports questionnaire for that sport (basketball, football etc). Getting video and sending it to the college that your child is interested in attending. The coaches have a lot on their plates and can not do this for every child.

We need to do all we can to get our kids to college and if sports is the way, so be it. But it starts in the classroom. BTW GM's has a player to watch as well #15 this young man had 13 tackles (solo) and 9 assist with one interception in last weeks game.

Chopticon lost badly. They were shut out.

Might I add that the only person to score for Chopticon is their FEMALE kicker.

Last year the GMHS freshman had a female QB. She was injured most of the year, but certainly earned the respect of her teammates.
Who did Leonardtown play last week? The reporting of game results around here is terrible.

Thanks for the info: It's Petett and this young man had 13 tackles and 9 assist w/one interception. He is second in SMAC and thrid in the state. Also believe this Jenner is #1 in SMAC for passing and #5 in the state. GMHS has some football players who could play in Division I or II Colleges. The players are not getting the exposer that they need..Enterprise where are you?

I have a little game I play: Know the guy who stands at the entrance to Giant food and gives free copes of the Enterprise away? He then asks if you want to subscribe?
I thank him for my copy, open it up to the sports section, point out that there is nothing about Great Mills and politely decline the subscription. Been doing that for years.
My son has told me that Pettet has an offer already from one Div 1 school.

OMG - have you seen Huntingtown's record? 2-0, 72 pf - 7 pa! Can't wait to see these guys play. Guess there's a reason Jerry Franks has a football camp.
