I am disappointed in myself for getting sucked into this argument. He made playoffs 7 years in a row. How is that average at best? Without researching extensively i dont know of an area team who has matched that. Weak schedule, weak region, too many points on playoff losses, not winning against teams without winning records just seems to be a way to distract from the fact that he wins every year at a place that struggled before he got there. Let s not forget their enrollment has dropped significantly. I ve seen them play several times. They play hard and are well coached

Name a coach with 4 wins in a row vs St. Paul since Coach Livengood took over in 1992. Todd Fox is it. Not giving a lot of credibility to the last post. Before Fox took over Calvert didn't make the playoffs for 7 or 8 straight years. He was also successful as Willard wrestling coach. I doubt dumb luck and a supposedly soft schedule are the reasons for his success.

Runaway, What years are those 4 wins against St. Paul's happen? I don't remember that ever happening, also I just don't remember the last time St. Paul's did not make the play-offs. Can you say something about that. Quasimodo is right, Calvert was in a tail-spin before Fox took over the team. Yes he has taken a team to 7 play-offs and if my old memory serves me right before Fox the last time Calvert was in the play-offs was maybe the early 90's. And yes Calvert is in the D-7 but so are most of the teams that they played, with maybe a few D-6 teams. I think we (Norwalk) has made a very good selection in a coach and I look forward to see some good things coming the kids.

Calvert beat st paul in 2010, 2011, and 20012 twice, once in playoffs. St paul missed playoffs in 2010 and 2011. Calvert made regional finals in 2002

2010, 2011 and 2x in 2012. Those were also years that NSP had 3-4 losses and did not make the playoffs in 2010 and 2011.

Runaway and Quasimodo, You guys got me there. I wasn't aware of that in those years since my oldest graduated from there in 2010 and the youngest was at Norwalk Sr. I just lost interest in those years since none of my sons where there. Thank you both for setting me strait on this.
