I've seen that Rainier Beach grabbed that kid Stokes from down here in SoCal and he makes opponents look like a bunch of monkeys. That they even have one loss with that team and that kid is shocking.
That, to me, is very weird. I don't know the back story, but to just transfer like that? I imagine the family must have moved, but pretty obvious why.

We played Mark Morris this weekend. There were "parents" in the stands talking about how they are a Billet family. So? They house kids that go their to play softball? Interesting. They destroyed us, with a Pitcher going to Montana and four or five other kids that are committed or drawing interest. Crazy. We were certainly not prepared to face them in our third game of the season, but we are also all kids being pulled from one small community, trying to play mercenaries! :lol:

It used to mean something. These were the kids you grew up playing with, it was your community. Not even that way in High School anymore. Now HS's have families making money to house kids that are good athletes. Makes the Blind Side stuff seem pretty average.

I used to love March Madness, used to fill out at least on bracket a year. But the Huskies have suck so long I don't even bother to fill out a bracket or watch a single game.....

The Huskies lack of success is certainly a part of it, for me. But so is the fact that it is impossible to follow a team because they will have 9 or 10 new players the very next year! I think that group after Jaylin Nowell left, with the highly touted one and done kids that couldn't win a Pac 12 game? I think that's the year I stopped. They beat #1 Baylor, then it was discovered that the PG didn't even go to class, EVER. They had to suspend him and they lost like every Conference game.

Funny thing is? Now? Who cares if they go to class. Carson Beck hasn't attended a class since like 2022. And he played QB in the NC game this year.
