Future Falcons Finally Fall

by Administrator on October 18, 2006

The Pershing boys lost to Catholic on Monday night, 1-2. The loss snapped a 24-game winning streak for the boys and a 42-game unbeaten streak for the boys and girls combined.

You can read a match summary on the Pershing Soccer website. It is eerily similar to the last time Catholic defeated Pershing back in 2001. Let’s hope history repeats itself.

Hickory Hills does not have a team, but there are several Hickory kids playing at Pershing.

Not only is Pershing filled with Future Falcons, but there are a number of little brothers on the Varsity team. Do the names Collins, Rogers, Harbach, Conner, and Morris ring a bell?

Mea Culpa

by Administrator on October 16, 2006

The site has been down for a day or two and I just learned about it this morning. Thanks, Judy!

Apparently while working on some other projects this weekend, I mistakenly over wrote a key file (the mySQL database configuration file) and broke everything.

Mea culpa.

Springfield High School Football

by Administrator on October 13, 2006

Today’s News-Leader has a couple of stories under the banner “What Took The Air Out of Springfield Football?“. The Springfield Public Schools football teams have a combined record of 3-27 on the season. Glendale football is 1-5. The feature, of course, includes the obligatory soccer hurts football angle:

When [Paul] Mullins was a coach at Greenwood, he said he saw interest in football decrease when the soccer program started.

“Soccer has come on strong and taken away from the skill positions,” he said, meaning football’s quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers.

Later in the story…

[SPS athletic director Mark] Fisher conceded that, while participation in football in the city is up, the won-lost records don’t lie. “When you look out there, the big, strong, athletic kids, they’re not out there,” Fisher said. “That’s not a knock on our kids, but the numbers don’t lie.
