Week Ten

I'm curious to know what everyone thinks of this week ten situation. Personally, I thought it was great when I heard this year that teams were going back to a ten-game regular season.
However, this was before I learned that the games wouldn't count in the playoff points. I'm not sure what is to be gained by playing a game in between your ninth game and the first round of the playoffs.

Personally, I feel this is a gaffe on the part of the PIAA and District 6. They should have had the games count in the points, or start the playoffs week nine like in the past.

I think it's good to have the team have a game rather than have an off week in preparation of the playoffs. Everyone else is in AAA, but the games seem odd to me. It would be terrible if a team lost a player to injury in a meaningless game. Hopefully the coaches of all the teams involved in week ten will play it smart.

I'm interested to hearing from some of the players on the team and what they're thoughts are on this. I'm sure they want to play. When you're that age you want to play as many games as you can. However, I'm sure the bigger goal of getting back to the District Championship AND winning it, is tops on the priority list.

I'm also curious to see what the vibe is at the school these days. Is the student body behind the team or are there a lot of naysayers being negative? If so, you'll just have to prove them wrong.
Either way, holler at your boy. Word is the Nation will have a good fan following at Tyrone Friday.

I don't much care about that. What I do care about is PACKING Trojan Stadium next weekend for that playoff game with Hollidaysburg!
