    Covid and Iowa high school football.

    I just find this discussion fascinating. But I am curious about your thoughts on seat belt laws, speed limits, OSHA, vehicle registration requirements, voting regualtions, vaccinations requirements, smoking regulations, etc....

    Defense and Athletes

    I think defense at this level is a combination of athleticism, communication and desire. I believe this team has the foundation to be decent defensively.

    A Des Moines school is going to win the title again in football I see

    Xavier Varsity had 45 boys on the squad this year and that number includes the 8 players hurt and sidelined. So at the end of the season, they were fielding a varsity team of 37 available players. Your statement is not accurate.

    Does Moss start against Minny?

    I think it was a bad game all around for OJ. He also blew the play against the Jet sweep where Wisky scored. The Safety Koerner(sp?) i think it was read it all the way, got blocked and OJ completely missed the read and the tackle. Oh well. Mistakes happen all over the field. Onto the next game.

    There are scholarships offered by families and other organizations that get awarded to individuals that earn them, so I wouldn't begrudge them of that fact. Also, I have never seen or heard of any scholarship for athletics at Xavier, in the 23 years we've had kids attending private schools. So...

    Slightly OT: Iowa 3A Prep Football

    "Rich Kids", that's funny. I think the numbers would work out to less than you realize on the families at Xavier that can be considered "Rich" or even upper middle class. I know there are some students there whose families are doing quite well, but a lot of families choose to make some...

    Slightly OT: Iowa 3A Prep Football

    I think that there are a few of you on here that just have an ax to grind against the private schools. If you do not have a child that attends or has attended a private school then your information on the "sports advantages" is woefully incomplete and inaccurate in certain areas. I don't recall...
