Allan, sd, cardiff, me, we just need SD to chime in and we have completed the piggington football crew.
sdrealtor, I agree that it doesn’t feel right as a fan to see HS football in that venue but the players love it and it’s the only way to eliminate home field advantage.
Allan, despite the 26 million teenagers, they lost to Corona. That actually isn’t my kid’s school, I’ve lamented before that his school has the highest GPA of any football team in the county and almost no apartments in it’s boundaries, two ingredients for mediocre football. I could care less, he wakes up at 5 am every day to work out, maintains a 4.0, practices every day during the summer and it keeps him out of trouble, there are plenty of lessons to be learned in losing football games. student athletics aren’t about titles, most student athletes never win a title, but thy all benefit from the exprience. I lost plenty of games as a lad, wouldn’t change it for anything.
Carmel Valley (which has both LCC and Cathedral) is one of those rare exceptions, so much so that it pulled the ESPN national story coverage that promted me to start the thread. The theme of the article was how silver spoon kids from one of the nicest communities in the world still come up with fantastic football teams. It defies logic and is a testament to why half these boards are devoted to such a limited geograpical area, and why the r/e values there will never plummet, supply and demand will always be out of whack there even where the is little demand. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, if you make less than 100 or 150k and are waiting for cv to to fall within your grasp, break out a map book and find another town cause it “aint hapenin.”
Funny how the football field is just a microcosm of the rest of the world.
