the thread started about nhs choking. lets set the record straight. they started one senior, 4 juniors, 4 sophmores, and 2 freshmen. of those players, half were not even on the varsity last year. the first players off the bench were not seniors either. saying alex martinez would not make a difference is like saying, enzo doesnt make a difference. after all, alex is on the region team. zack is an odp player and so is ferguson. cody parks was not the only top flight sub who was injured either. when nhs won the state they lost the first game of the year to dhrer, however u spell it. does nhs have work to do? absolutely. will they get better? absolutely. will the trojans be a number 1 seed come playoff time? absolutely. is irmo better? absolutely. will they and everyone else in the hunt get better? they better, cause the trojans will. ssaying cates is not a quality player is insane. i guess clemson and usc who both waged a recruiting war over him are wrong. put your silly biases aside and face reality. as of right now, spring valley is still numero uno and everyone else is chasing them. they play at nhs next week. hope to c u there. nhs, choke, hardly. as yogi said, it aint over till the fat lady sings. the trojans will be there in the end. will u?
