The Hancock HS Admin just made the case for consolidation with Clear Spring. The county recommended that a few years ago.
 
It's been overdue. Alco splitting into Fort Hill and Mountain Ridge shouldn't be too far in the future.

I heard about this several days ago. The school admin really should be ashamed of themselves the way they went about this - the kids finally had an improved season and wanted to play in the playoffs - and the admin has no confidence in them. Understood that they would be a huge underdog, but no confidence that the players would enjoy the experience.

It should also be stated, that for the last game Coach Hare, as a paying spectator, went to the game to watch from the stands. Quietly, no issues. And the admin went out of their way to locate him in the stands and have him removed from the game. That was so beyond overstepping.

Kudos to the coach for standing up for his players.
 
It’s really a crying shame that you have administrators and referees that try and make these games about themselves and not the kids.

It doesn’t make sense not to play a playoff game when the kids want to do it. The same thing is true for referees that call blocking in the back when the block was face to face. SAD.
 
Did anyone happen to listen to Hansel’s post homecoming post game interview speaking of opting out of the playoffs? One of the WCBC guys asked him about the rematch with FH and he said that he wanted to ask his team if they wanted to opt out or play the game? He said it would be up to them if they wanted the challenge again. I can’t believe he would even mention opting out. Maybe alco admin needs to reach out to coach hare about possibly taking over the team for the playoffs

Very confusing right? On a similar but opposite end of the spectrum. Hats off and much respect for the way Coach Alkire has handled post game interviews...win or lose. He does not bring in politics, reltion, the mpssaa, boe, fans, or any other kind of excuse for his team or coaches. He is very business, very short which probably is a good plan, answers the questions and gets out of there. This is not easy and other coaches have failed to keep emotions out of what doesn't have to be anything other than a fact or two which is what he always does...hats off to him!

I didn’t watch the interview but opting out of the playoffs is not the mindset you need from a leader.

We all know anything can happen in a one game playoff situation. I’m sure everyone on this board can name more than one game where the opponent got beat pretty bad the first time and came back and won the second match..

I did not hear this, and hopefully for the returning players, his comments were taken out of context. He may be a wonderful person, but I for one would not want my child playing in that environment. Yet many people in this area believe a kid should have to play under that circumstance, because of what side of of a street their parents decided to live on way before they were even born. Antiquated thinking.

Agreed. I doubt the Alco kids would've wanted to quit either way. Not how our youth is raised.

Yes anything can happen. Our friends at Wadsworth lost their last regular season game to North Royalton 44-37. Beat that same team last week in their first playoff game 38-7.

Just last year, Havre de Grace upset two teams before losing to Fort Hill.
 
Or FH v Alco in 2009. 17-7 FH win at Hoco. Alco win 35-14 in playoffs.

It can happen.

Allegany took a big hit with FH record now being 2-7.
If the stars lined up Alco could have made it to the round of 8.
