Why do some folks that have no involvement in these situations post fantasy as if it is fact on the same topic over and over again? We have been through this already. It's awesome that Alco played Dunbar. I hope Alco opens with Dunbar every season. It's good for Cumberland. Everyone on both sides of town should leave it at that.
But here it is again...
"Dunbar said they were both open week 6 " Huh?
Dunbar has Poly week 6 for starters. They always play Poly. Fort Hill did all it could to get Dunbar for Week 1. Dunbar chose to play Alco, not Fort Hill much like Chestnut Ridge, Boonsboro, Williamsport and Northern have done. Dig into that hat all you want because if I have to explain it then we are just wasting time. Let's just say I could offer any of those four schools a record setting paycheck to play FH and they wouldn't take the game to save their life.
Then Fort Hill tried to get Dunbar for Week 5 at their place where they now have an open spot because IMG later backed out. Dunbar did not want two Cumberland schools on their schedule and I really don't call out Dunbar coach Lawrence Smith for that. He knows what he is doing. Now tell us all again how FH did not want to play Dunbar. In fact, I had to listen to clowns on here tell me (and still try to tell me) FH ducked Middletown week 1 because we were trying to nail down Dunbar. Then when Dunbar fell through I personally called Middletown to set up a game but they filled the hole. The fantasy then becomes FH didn't want Dunbar or Middletown. So I go out and get Melbourne CC and Friendship. Two teams that according to reputable sources would flatten anyone else on FH, Keyser or Alco's schedule while both are continued listed favorites over Middletown. On top of that, FH has to pay a hefty sum to make the Melbourne CC game happen.
In the simplest of explanations...why would FH want to duck Dunbar and Middletown in favor of picking up expensive Melbourne CC and Friendship? Alex Trebek says please phrase your answer in the form of a question. The logic is really blind here.
