SORRY, (FOSHO)!! Dont have any kids that go to Huron!! I must have hit a nerve with you!!! Just follow the game and know it well, and like I said I coach (7years running) and I have played the game!!! Not whining, but u seem to be bothered by the TRUTH!! IT HURTS DOESN'T IT!!! U must be a player that was mentioned. Huron has had successful seasons in the past, but the kids that were on the team could actually play the game, and wanted to win!! Sorry if you cant handle the TRUTH. No whining involved, just clearly stating what I have observed. If you poll the fans can guarentee you that 95% will say the same. Have a wonderful day and a Happy New Year

Huron has a few good players on Varsity, I can count on one hand the kids that can actually play, who want to win and who actually plays team ball!!!!! This should have been a rebuilding year for Huron, yet this is going to be a SHOW-BOAT season!!! Kids on the team only care about how many points they score and the kids that really care about winning are on the bench!!! It's really sad that the coach doesn't get it!!! There are even kids on the JV, that are better than most of the Varsity players!!! SAD, SAD, SADDDDD!!!!!! HOPEFULLY THE COACH WILL WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE, before its to LATE!!!!! He needs to stop playing favorites and play the kids that are going to actually win games!!! I know the game, have played the game and coach, LETS GET SERIOUS HURON COACHESSSSS!!!!!
