Mt. Pine Cancels Yet Again

[JackofallTrades]

The word is they were just trying to make it through Homecoming and cancel rest of the way. How sorry is that? If you got enough to play then play. You are going against a team in a similar situation with numbers so it could've been a great match up..Jk Jk

Very simple.... if the AAA would have a spine then this wouldn't happen.  Not fair to the teams on their schedule.
Fine them every week they don't field until they fold it up or suck it up and play.

Cancels this upcoming week, or for the rest of the season?

[JackofallTrades]

Upcoming week but I'm sure they'll cancel on the rest of the way because homecoming is in the books!! Could be wrong though!!

[Bigpoppie]

so are they finished for the year or are they just gonna go on a week to week basis? 

[Lions84]

AAA needs to put a stop to this nonsense.

I somewhat see both sides. If you have kids that really want to play and are beat up and can't that's one thing, but on the other hand just selecting what games you want to play and setting out the others isn't right either. As much as it will hurt the kids at Mt. Pine to loose the program it isn't fair to other teams to just up and cancel on a whim. For instance they are Foreman's last regular season game which I'm sure has been scheduled for Sr. Night, if they just decide that Monday they are gonna toss the towel there will be several kids and parents robbed of that experience. Not to mention the possibilities of some schools having to reschedule Homecomings for the same reason. I played at a school where numbers were low and they eventually lost their program due to that reason. I hate to see it happen, but sometimes you got to hold'em or fold'em. Might be time for the latter of those two.

I agree I know scheduling someone else at this point is more than likely out of the question, but some teams could possibly play jv games that week if they know they arent playing

Kinda falls at a good time for the gators ... if we make the playoffs get to go watch our oponet that week and an extra week to prepare for round 1

They should just go ahead and cancel the season so the other teams will know where they stand. Maybe pick up some jv games to keep the program alive. Focus on building numbers at the jr high level to build for the future.

This shouldn't be allowed... I understand kids being hurt and you need to get them well, but it seems they are picking and choosing which games to play.

The gruby butt AAA is not going to stop anything they think might create 1 dime in revenue. They should be forced in or out by August 15th. Mountain Pine has a kid that can play too he should be able to go somewhere that has a team. Dierks had to play them luckily nobody got injured but if they had Dierks loses a player in a game other teams in the 7AA don't bother with. The list of negatives go on and on.

Is everybody's probably here that they are forfeiting games at all or the fact that Mountain Pine is forfeiting one week and then not the next?

I have met the Mountain Pine coaches and I think they would do anything to get their kids out there.

I can remember the last time they were really good.....Them and Danville played for the 5-2a Conference Crown that year I believe...Danville threatened to throw fans out that were standing on the track on the Mountain Pine side, who had been standing on the track all game, but it became a problem when Pine took the lead...hahah, Pine Eventually lost that game tho..
