I'm the coach at A.C. Flora and you're right Pete, I don't like the way things are going. My team is 4-7 and I'm involved. As for the suspensions, I'll leave that up to the HSL. They're better at deciphering their rules than I and my time can be spent trying to better prepare my team. I get no particular thrill in facing any team that is not at 100% due to players lost to cards of any sort.
I'm very proud of Region V-AAA; the quality of play, and our rivalries. I consider Kevin and Richard my friends and really enjoy competing against both BC and Dreher. They are quite aware of the respect that I have for them and their respective programs.
I spent 25 years as a high school official before turning to coaching just 5 years ago (3 as girls coach at White Knoll). It's a thankless position and one I'm happier without. I disagree with my share of calls from my side of the touch line, but you know what, I get over it. I do my best to get that over to my team as well. I figure that if I keep my doorstep clean, the energy needed to peruse the HSL rules concerning cards and their penalties can be better spent with my team.
This match is in the books, BC 3 - ACF 1. I'm looking forward to Tuesday's match with Dreher. I hope we're at our best and I hope the same for Dreher. That's the way we want to do it in Region V.
