wow 6-10-1 keep bragging that up! and ya i agree with coach hayfield about the gil being more talented than the other guys... at least more so than dan shuck and Lewis.. gil doesn't get the stats but every ball and its brother go through him during the game, i have a hard time believeing without him they'd have the record they did

when did CR ever have a down year? they've never been below .500 i think two years ago they went 9-9 and just barely losing to vb in the tourneys in shoot outs

You mean to tell me a kid like Sleasman who can juggle 150 touches and run the field in flat wouldn't play for any other team in NCOSA.... and I wouldn't start Peyton Manning at a BVC school for football....

[formercoach]

Wow. 150 juggles? Amazing. Our team record is over 400, then the kid got bored.

You named one player. Is that it?

I can juggle really good. Can I play?

No. My pet tarantula can juggle. Good for him.

One foreign exchange student that had an impact was julio battirola that was the only good one vb has ever had so keep saying thats the only reason they were ever good. and by the way they werent 5-11-1 they were 6-10-1

My bad if I woulda known they wer 6-10-1 not 5-11-1 i would have been giving them the praise they deserve for having a little bit better losing record

First of all knightmare u r comparing apples to oranges by comparing pro football to pro futbol....second if sleasman were equivilant to a peyton manning of soccer...wouldnt he be able to help his team win more than 6 games having the talent of a pro but playing at a high school level?? I would hope so....Third juggling helps when it comes to soccer for a first good touch but it doesnt make u a phenom bc u can juggle a 150 times...My point is all ya VB people that r hyping up your all-americans(who couldnt even get POY in a weak league like ncosa) and ur sacred team(let me remind u had a meager record 6-10-1) that lost in the first round of play-offs...face it u guys dont have anything to back up what ur saying...u all need reality checks...hope were on the same page now...

I'm glad someone else said it.

[knightmare07]

You want to know why sleasman didnt help... he wasn't allowed to play due to grades for parts of the season. And the VB school record for juggles was Dustin Wagner back in '03 with 550, ten of those being counted after he caught the ball on his neck and did push ups.

What about Jan Felix Becker #4?!?!?

Loss courtesy of John Flanagan... this past year's team captian...

[benchwarmer104]

My point is all ya VB people that r hyping up your all-americans(who couldnt even get POY in a weak league like ncosa)

If the NCOSA is such a horrible, weak, embarrassing leauge, then why do you keep praising Riverdale, Cory-Rawson, and Ada? If we're going to generalize the entire league, how about we include that half... and the POY is from one of those teams you keep praising... so talk about the NCOSA all you want, just include Rdale, Ada, and CR. Otherwise, don't generalize.

[xfactor6]

His bad- weak league other than Riverdale and Cory Rawson, Ada will be good next year but this year they were pretty far down compared to usual... and NCOSA all-start team(not including Rdale and CR) would probably have a hard time beating Rdale or CR's teams

[2much2handle]

Ok..all the VB people on here need to have a big reunion and talk about next season. You guys have been talking urselfs up and it miserably failed. This year you went 6-10-1 and talked urself up a lot during the season. Next season will be just as bad for you guys if you ask me

The season is over, its time to think about other things. Get out, if u really wanna play soccer get in an indoor league somewhere. Its FAR too early to talk urself up about next year.

[benchwarmer104]

Then why didn't the entire Rdale and CR teams combine to create the all-star team? It was the decisions of the coaches, so there isn't really an excuse. Anyway, I'm getting pretty tired of trying to argue with you guys about this season and next in regard to VB, so I'm out for a while. I'll check in in like a month or two... Good Bye!

[formercoach]

I'm sorry that I was so gruff in earlier posts, but I feel that this has become a "praise Van buren" site. They had some good years, but have not been great the last three or four. I just dont like to hear hype if the hype has not merit. I am glad that your attitudes are better, but VB has some steps to take before coming into the top tier of NCOSA again.

Otherwise, don't generalize.

A lot of people view the ncosa as a weak league...i disagree with that, yes there r some horrible teams in it, but there r some real good teams as well. I was being sarcastic when i called it a weak league. I was trying to make the point across that if your players, the players u hype up to make them sound like all-americans; if their all-americans and competing on such a high level then shouldnt they be able to easily win POY of a D3 league thats looked down upon by many? I was just trying to contrast how ridiculous u sound when u hype up players past their showings or even their potential. But let me illiterate one more time to make sure u got this: I don't think the Ncosa is a weak league, i dont believe its a great league either, but its not weak....

[Hiteisright]

Now I don't like VB but all of you seem pretty certain that Corys gonna do real good considering they're not going to have a team next year.

[xfactor6]

No we were talking they had a great team this year, next year they have some potential but not to be a great team.... probably around 8-8
