Milton coach Steve Dembowski: "We weren’t ready. The kids just didn’t adjust. I’ve got to start blaming myself. We weren’t in good-enough shape. We didn’t play well enough. Our backups weren’t good. We turned the ball over in the red zone. We gave up a fake punt. All the crap. That’s how you lose games." @GlobeSchools

Tavares (Fla.) HS football coach Gavin Jones went viral at Central Florida Media Day by wearing a t-shirt reading "We Coach, They Poach" to protest losing nearly 20 players to transfers this offseason, including a 1,400-yard rusher and top-tier linebackers.

According to MIAA Executive Director Dr. Bob Baldwin on @WEEI right now on the Ipswich boys lacrosse decision: "This never came to the MIAA and it was not our decision. The school decided on the forfeit...We have to respect the decision made at the local level."

A PARENT’S JOURNEY THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS:
Age 5: “He’s got a cannon.”
Age 6: “He’s the fastest kid out there. Coach said so.”
Age 7: “Rec ball isn’t challenging him anymore.”
Age 8: “We tried out for select. Obviously made it.”
Age 9: “$2,800 for the season. Plus uniforms. Plus tournaments. Plus hotels.”
Age 10: “Cooperstown is basically a family vacation, right?”
Age 11: “He needs a hitting guy. And a pitching guy. And probably a mental performance coach.”
Age 12: “I’m not a crazy sports parent. The OTHER parents are crazy.”
Age 13: “We changed schools. For academics. (And also baseball.)”
Age 14: “Showcases are a requirement at this age.”
Age 15: “Ya his ranking just ticked up. We’re cooking.”
Age 16: “He just needs to get seen by the right school.”
Age 17: “The D1 schools want him to walk on. He’ll earn a spot by sophomore year.”
Age 18: “Okay, D2 is actually really competitive.”
Age 19: “He’s redshirting. Strategic.”
Age 20: “He’s focusing on school now.”
Age 21: “You know what? He’s so much happier.”
Roughly 7% of high schoolers play in college.
About 1.5% of those get drafted.
Less than half of draftees ever play one day in the big leagues.
The odds of our kids going pro are somewhere between “struck by lightning” and “find a $100 in old shorts.”
I love youth sports (all my kids play a bunch of them) just keep a good perspective my friends. ✌️

Interior guy with quick feet, plays with leverage, and brings real power inside. Good pad level, strong base, and moves well laterally for zone looks. Comfortable pulling in gap schemes too. Smart, physical, and position flexibility at G/C with 4 years to grow 👀
