12-15 minutes. Source: I did it in high school all the time. Biked to school for class, on days with track meets, and for summer ball events. Of course, back then, I was more paranoid about the $4/gallon gas prices than anything. Point stands though: It ain't hard. Go play in your own sandbox. You have enough drama in Shelby with coaches choking players on the softball field right now and scandals with the previous basketball coach. Hahahahaha. Oh yes, because the people in Willard are a Lilly white as the fallen snow.

Attempting to invalidate/censor my point by bringing up unrelated issues is your strategy here? Do you think it is a strong strategy? Point is, butt out and worry about your own. "point is" this is not your dictatorships.

I thought your were cool but now you are just trying to get me fired up. Look back a year ago, I said in a post that Dude, as well as 1 other, troll Willard posts just looking for a fight. Read most of his posts relative to Willard topics. He jumps into topics just to be the devil's advocate. Rarely, if ever, will you see something positive from him relative to Willard. Lost respect for him a long time ago.

I thought your were cool but now you are just trying to get me fired up. With out a doubt, I AM cool. My direction is constantly progressing but I have always welcomed conversation. And a good spirited discussion is good for the soul. But we can always sign off as friends.

You may not agree but an outside opinion can be more accurate than a post or comment from a home grown fanatic. Neither must be right or wrong but both can have merit. I have no bias either for Willard sports only to see and watch some good games. But I will admit that I regularly feel sad for today’s coaches and players when they get compared to 30 to 40 years ago.

I've read a ton of your posts over the past several years. I will admit, you are much more well rounded and informed than I when it comes to area high school sports than I. I am, pretty much, a Willard High School basketball poster. I am vocal relative to Willard High School basketball. Rarely do I comment on the inner happenings of an other schools program. You do, as a habit. You think because we are parents, and bias, we have no clue. Some of us actually have a little knowledge, and aren't afraid to call out a coach when we disagree. Some of us aren't afraid to admit we were wrong in our vocal disagreement. Regardless, you, too often, are there to defend a coach or administration without really understanding the details behind it all. End of the day, you come across as a Willard hater, a vocal parent hater, that knows more than you really do.

The thing that gets misconstrued with this website, and it has for years,,,is that the viewpoint of a few posters represent the entire town/ schools' fan base opinion. That part is 100% not true. I view the website as mostly entertainment and a place to hear info that is usually 40% accurate . Parents and fans come on here to vent,,that part is sometimes healthy and sometimes not. Something else that I have noticed over the years, is that a few posters from towns not named Willard have an acute fascination with our sports teams. Why that is, I have no idea. Carry on. The loudest mouths get fed. The more opinions a fanbase generates on here, the higher likelihood that some of them will be crummy compared to others. Which creates *discussion* (whatever form it may take on here...). If Tiffin fans had a contingent on here and started speculating all live-long day about their sports, I'm sure we'd do the same with them. Of course, I am biased and get a little personal glee from hysteria in Willard, but I wouldn't go and say I'm unfair. That's my take.

End of the day, you come across as a Willard hater, a vocal parent hater, that knows more than you really do. I'm sorry if you read my postings that way. I never intend to claim I know more than anyone else about any sport or program but I do get around and have seen a few things. I have no interest in questioning your knowledge or anyone else. I would never say you are clueless when it comes to basketball knowledge. But sometimes as a parent, seeing things objectively can be difficult. I would argue that you may be a little afraid in calling out coaches or administrator since we all have made up names. It doesn't matter if a few know who your are, the design is still to be posting in secret. I really do not try to defend others, I only try to challenge the accuser to understand better and to let them know there is two sides to every story. When I played sports, in a time without social media, I had a couple coaches and teammates accused of things over my 6 years of school sports. At the end of the day it was discovered that some parents were vindictive, some players lied, some coaches were fired and some coaches were cleared. From then I knew not all coaches are saints and not all players are angels but parents will always be biased. I will agree that there are MANY that know more than I do.

I believe this to be true also. The voices of the few shouldn't be mistaken for the opinions of the many. I would add that if someone loves to talk about sports they will go were there is a conversation. You never see any fans in a gym without a game.

He wants a verbal battle but won't address my questions as to why I am supposed to censor myself here. He didn't like my verbal battle so he is taking his ball to another court.

I'll verbal battle, but all you said was to "butt out." Surely there is more intricacy as to why you are scared to hear my opinion on a thread than that? Are you scared? I don't have many other reasons to see why my opinion should be censored.

Utsherman, you are only allowed to worry about OUR problems in Shelby. Didn't you hear truecrimson?
For the rest of the stable Willardites, I'm sorry. I don't implicate you, I just like poking this bear too much.

Last rumor I had heard on this topic was the kid had a close family member that was a strong Carey supporter and that the move would never happen. Is there any more talk of the Winslow twins playing for their dad? Was talk on another page about a Galion kid who played varsity as a freshman moving to Colonel Crawford. Is the Pugh kid staying at Shelby?

Is the Pugh kid staying at Shelby? The Freshman from Galion has indeed transferred to Colonel Crawford, as he was at Eastern this week playing with CC. The sophomore to be is a nice athlete, 3 sport standout....football and baseball. He might not crack CC starting lineup this year, but will certainly see playtime.

He might not crack CC starting lineup this year, but will certainly see playtime. How’d the boys make out this week at Eastern? Heard they played well, lost 6 or 7 games out of 30+. They missed both Dawson and Addelman as they are 2 of our more physical players. Baldridge and Parrot both played in the camp ending All Star game....which is a good sign as they should be our horses next year. Alot of young players saw ample varsity time, which has to be a good thing going into next year.

Key to next year may be the bench, how’d they look?

Dont know alot of details on how the bench played, just heard they were short handed at the post....did here Cok played physical and did well, Meisner gave good minutes at the point when giving Parrot a rest, Weiss gave good minutes inside as well. I agree, our bench needs to develop quickly for us to have a repeat of last year.
