  Like someone mentioned earlier, lets check back in 3 years and see where they're at.
• snyds113

  Has Otto done his charity work yet?I know Shaq did his charity by letting Creek score this year.
• snyds113

Most of the other area schools aim to have the success they do. I agree that Macon is a very good athlete, however no matter where he goes, I do not see him playing one down as a QB in college. Safety or receiver... Petteway is a very talented played also. He will likely get a scholarship to play somewhere, but it also helps to have great players around you that make the defense what it is no matter what kind of competition you play. Having the kind of coaching Big Red has with Pierro on defense along with kids who know his scheme allows players to have a spotlight. How big that spotlight is depends on the players around you. Put Petteway on Edison's team and he is their leading tackler, but how big is the spotlight? We can go on and on all day back and forth, I believe Petteway was a good pick for defensive POY, but there were a few others including Otto from Creek that made noise. Their spotlights just weren't as big as Petteway's. I am a firm believer in no matter where you play, if you bust your ass you will get the rewards. Look for Otto to step up the heat next year...
  
  My sister played softball her freshman year at Catholic Central and then the next 3 years at Wintersville and lettered all 4 years. She could throw the ball from center field to home plate without a bounce and get it there quickly. Her onbase percentage was huge. She was a truely gifted softball player. No one came to Wintersville to look at players so her coach, Coach DiCarlo went to work. He was able to get Youngstown State to look at her and offer. She started at Y-town as a freshman. The reason I say this is because it doesn't always matter where you play... Its how you play. Small school, big school it doesn't matter. Talent will find its way to the next level.

  Did wintersville "recuit" her since coach D was a good softball coach?:dodgy:

  Shaq might GO D1, but will he PLAY D1? That's the question.

  Now this is atleast 3-4 times somone has mentioned a BIG RED player not playing at a D1 school on this site. I'm taking this as a racist comment and it is really starting to anger me :@

  Some kids are not cut out for college ball.
• Darkon

  

  As a Big Red fan I would think you would be the last one to bring up the word "recruit".
  Thr racist comment I don't get. I may not agree with what has been said but I have seen no racist comments.
• Al Capone

  HaHaHaHa!

  2 things...
  
  1. I am not sure what Mo Bougard being a sideline reporter for 106.3 has to do with anything. He did not go to school to play football rather run track. While he is still not at that school he is taking classes. Like someone said, not everyone is cut out for college. I am sure there are some Creekers who did not make it in college and are back in Wintersville. As a matter of fact, I know for a fact of at least 3 off the top of my head because I went to college with them.
  
  2. I think the racist feeling comes from people saying Steubenville's black athletes can not make it in college. Again college is not for everyone and shame on you for down grading a 18 year old kid. And if you really want to know about a Steubenville education, there are many of us doing very well for themselves. I just happen to be one of those black Steubenville kids you say won't make it in college. I just graduated from The University of Akron (cum laude) with a Bachelors Degree in Exercise Science, and I am in my 3rd semester of Graduate School in Exercise Physiology and currently have a 3.9 GPA. So basically, don't talk so ignorant about things you do not know about. You can dislike Big Red as a whole, but when you people begin down grading 16-18 year old KIDS telling them they will amount to nothing, it is time for you to get a life, and step away from the keyboard.
• icskins

  The "racist" comment he quoted was about this kid not PLAYING football at the D1 level. What the heck is racist about that? He didn't say the kid couldn't do the schoolwork or wasn't cut out for college. So now it racist to say that a certain person will be unable to play a sport at a D1 level? Come on now, that is over the top. I think that Mr. woods50fan needs to take a step back and reread what is upsetting him.

  The only one that is mentioning black athlete is you because nowhere on here did anyone make any comment about race so maybe you need to find another thread to post on or go tell it to oprah because you 2 are the only ones interested in talking about race.If you actually have the education you say you have then congrats to you for realizing that education is what makes your future and not high school sports.

  Oh boy thats a good one!
  After your kids turn on your computer for you why don't you just let them post on this site?
  It would make for better reading.
• lastcall

  This whole thread needs to end. Most of you are probably adults on this site talking about high school kids, grow up.
• Al Capone

  Typical of todays society. Get backed into a corner and pull out the ole race card.
• Strapping Young Lad

  

  Hey Al, do you want to talk about some football stars from Creek who went to school on athletic scholarship and ended up in JAIL, for rape, drugs, etc. Because I now quite a few from IC's team from a few years ago.....Let me know cuz I'll tell you about em.
  
  I guess even IC has those who aren't cut out for college or being left alone with pre-teen girls, either.
  
  These were white boys too.:huh:
• captvern

  This is just out of control. Every school has somebody that has made a mistake in their lives. So be it. I don't think that anyone on here should be casting any stones. Every player that goes on to college is their own individual and should be judged by that when they go. Not this kids not going to make it because so and so didnt make it. It is all on how well people adjust to being on their own and if people are their to give their support.
• GoChiefs

  

  Enough with the 'race' talk.
