St. Mary's Pigskin Football

[nomoney]

there is talk of a new league starting down here. If they can have schedules more then 3 days in advance of the game I'm all for it. I wouldn't mind volunteering my time to someone who doesn't feel the need to cuss out their volunteers.

 

[vraiblonde]

pretty much.

We have the same problem up here with the MVAA. Em's cheer coach was a certified psychopath - her son was famous for awhile because he planted a pipe bomb in the high school bathroom a year or so ago. The football coach is her husband and he's a bigger jerk than she is - encouraging fights, swearing at games, etc. He's gotten tossed out by the refs many times but is right back at it the next game.

And they all sit on the board of the MVAA so they're not going anywhere.

I was really glad when my youngest started high school so she could play sports without the nutball brigade running things.

How grown up when Chris Kemp calls the South "Ghetto". How can a man who runs a league for the same county ALLOW his own child to put down part of his orginazation. Don so quick to FIRE VOLUNTEER coaches for not coming to meetings. However his son can discriminate against the south and nothing is done. I was raised in a trailer park, now I own a 1/2 million dollar home in the SOUTH and I am still living by the same morals and respect as I had when I was POOR. There is a new league starting. They unfortunaly have to wait until the end of the season that way their child can continue playing to the end of the season!!

Can someone please give me a thumbnail sketch of the situation? I'm interested but I'm not involved in Pigskin so I don't know who any of these people are.

Two teams were playing, one team got bent because they felt they were being cheated because the ref is related to the other team's coach, who happens to be the head of the league so there's nobody to complain to.


Is that right?

In a nutshell yes. But the team that felt cheated had played dirty all season. They even sent a kid out by helicopter with a back injury. They were always "taking out players" that weren't even part of the play.

To me it all falls into a catch 22. Anyway you look at it it's all messed up.

I believe the coach you're talking about being fired is the 1/2 div broncos coach?

From my understanding there will be schedule before the game season begins!
It is demanded that the coaches, parents, and most important the children have respect. You will hear soon enough about the new league. But, as I have stated before they want their child to fiish out the season within fairness.

To be honest I'm not sure which coach I just know thta one was fired for that reason.

Our coach was fired for that reason. For a 1/2 league team you think if they had any sense at all the league would

a. try their hardest to assist with the teams for want of the first year kids to return for the next few years
b. not black ball a 1/2 div team because half the parents don't know wth is going on yet to begin with being its their first year.

we found out we didn't have a coach when we showed up for a game 2 hours early and were told by people at the concession stand.

 

[Msd_plumbing]

First off my husband and I do volunteer with the league now. My husband has been a coach for 9 yrs, and is also the other guy with Don that fits equipment. We don't even have a kid playing pigsking football. Our boy is 2.

 

[Msd_plumbing]

What Chris was talking about was taking the South, Central, North, and split them up into two entirely different leagues, like they do in Calvert and other places. Also Chris has a right to be mad imo, he and my husband both were attacked by a Broncos parent. The thing with the schedules you know you have a game every Saturday, and around roughly the same time. It is very hard to make up a schedule ahead of time because we never know about field maintenance, and refs.

 

[SouthCountyMom]

Did you go to the Pig Roast? 1/2 the coaches were drinking beer. I'm all for having a few once in awhile, but not during a kids event. What a way to start the season. Oh, and by the way, my childs coach was not drinking and we are from what Chris Kemp would say the "ghetto South". Should of known then what this orginazation was like.

Just to set the record straight, an MS Bronco player was part of the play/tackle concerning the injured Cowboys player, but as the video from both sides show..it was a Cowboy that nailed his own player in the back..causing the injury. Also, the MS Bronco's have not "played dirty" all season. There was an incident in their very first game against the Browns and that has been it. This is football after all and there are bound to be aggression both sportsman like and sad to say unsportsman like. That goes for EVERY team in this league...from the very young to the MS group. As for "taking out players" that weren't even part of the play...the Cowboys tackled a Bronco that was no where near the ball/play resulting in that player breaking his wrist. We are all adults here, I would assume, and it would be a good idea if people would check there facts before stating what they "think" or "know" happened at that game or any other. It would stop alot of the debating that is going on over Saturdays game and this league ingeneral. But, since this is a public forum you are entitled to your own opinion right or wrong and I'm not faulting you or anyone for that.

One 1/2 coach got fired for telling his kids they didnt have a game. As far as not showing up to a meeting my husband goes to every single one and no one has gotten fired for that. We also had a problem with another 1/2 coach that got fired.

Thats why it would be great to have a new league. that way people can pick and chose who they want their child playing for.

The coaches that were "drinking at the pig roast" were drinking the night before while cooking the pig, and no we had any idea they were doing that at the time. Just the next day they still had the smell of it. It was 2 coaches out of 44 coaches.

what other 1/2 coach got fired and for what?

Maybe if the parents knew what was really happening the league wouldn't have so many parents harboring crappy feelings towards them

Then those coaches should have done the mature thing and left before the kids got there, or been escorted out of there!!!!!!

From my understanding cussing at the kids on the field. I would have fired him too, and then washed his mouth out with soap.

Yes he should've been fired. Good for them. (but doesn't don do the same thing?)


Our coach got fired for a bum reason; and he was a good coach too. It's sad that our kids have to suffer for it.

Again we didn't know. But we don't live in a perfect world. Yes I do agree that they shouldn't have been there, but you can't do anything about it if you didn't know.
