YARD, Where are all these so called "FALL" Gwinnett HS teams playing? I know of at least three HS coaches who specifically tell their players not to play in the fall. And most HS coaches I believe would cringe at the idea of having parents in the program do any type of coaching in any capacity. Most don't want anybody else coaching or instructing their players, period.
There has been a Senior Fall league run out of Duluth that has divisions for teams made up of Rec players and HS players. Most of what I've seen of those teams is it is just a dad or two who take
a group of kids (Frosh, JV and V) that may all be in the same HS program and play.
But are you saying there are HS programs that tell their players to play for a certain coach in the Fall? That would be surprising to me. If a HS coach was doing what you said, I would think that would breed quite a bit of problems for the program on a lot of levels. |

| johgamefan, I don't think that's why they are not a juggernaught. Coach was only there for the last two years my son was there. 1st year he was there, they made the playoffs - for the 1st time in around 6 years. 2nd year, had to forfeit a bunch of games due to play time rules infractions. You guessed it - Centennial. 5A (6A this year) school, but the school has been like the 3rd smallest 5A school in the state. Tough to compete. Didn't really matter with the coach, the kids still wanted to win and expected to win. Probably would have made the playoffs last year, but had to forfeit 5 region wins due to above. Don't really want to get into all that again, but this school has never been able to win on a consistent basis, regardless of the coach. I just think it is because they are such a small school for the classification. My point is, even with all that, son still wanted to play for his HS. Was excited every year. I don't think he regrets it for one minute. |

Jong - Why don’t you enlighten us to which Gwinnett schools you’re talking about? Don’t make statements of, “most of our schools in Gwinnett” then tell us you don’t know what programs I speak of.
It is a known fact that the largest schools in the state come from Gwinnett and with that fact comes that they have the largest talent pool to choose their teams from. Don’t you believe that might be part of the equation to Gwinnet’s success or do you really believe they’re just out coaching everyone?
Racgo – I can’t tell you about the Gwinnett fall teams. You might want to ask our expert Jong. As for the Cobb teams playing in the fall, N. Cobb, Toona, KMHS, Sprayberry, Kell, and Wheeler that I know of. Since my son did not play for his fall HS team, I can’t tell you much about these fall programs except that some of the parents I spoke with say the talent level is watered down and they believe it is used as a fundraiser.
