Does Rome have players living at his house like a certain coach in Sowega.      Lol 😝 Hippocrates these days

Dude... I can't even, but... 

The kid that you refer to was definitely rescued from a TERRIBLE situation. The coach and family became LEGAL guardians for that kid when most folks would have thrown him in the trash. 

I'll add, that he is a great kid in spite of the curves that life has thrown him. Largely in part due to a certain south Georgia coach and FAMILY. 

I understand that it's in your nature to be a troll. I had to counter-punch here because you love to talk about how private schools are "rescuing" kids from a life despair. 

There is a huge difference... I mean a dadgummed gulf of difference between becoming a legal guardian for one kid that has come up through your program since elementary school and whatever the bullshit "gotcha shit" you think you are on about. 

Just sayin'.

DeMatha is ranked #6 in the U.S. by Max Preps and #7 by USA Today.  Their only loss was to a school they won’t play in football: IMG.  (A number of schools’ state associations won’t allow games with IMG including Texas). When Morgan was DeMatha’s coach he wouldn’t play Oak Hill either.  This year’s DeMatha team has the potential to be one of their best ever.  (and I go back to ‘64 and Kareem/Lou.  They play La Lumiere in February which is another IMG/Oak Hill/Findlay type “academy.”  If they can stay healthy (Paul VI lost a great player) DM will compete for the national title.  And, they don’t have a single transfer.  Starting five are all from the DC area.  Two five stars and a four star plus youth.

 

ARe you referring to Wooten as the coach ? When did he retire ? Not playing Oak Hill sounds like they have been doing their shtick for a long time.

Yes he’s referring to the legendary DeMatha coach. I can clarify this a bit. Coach Wootten retired in 2002, I believe. He had one rule when it came to scheduling top teams. Once you called DeMatha out, you’re done. No questions. John Thompson pre-Georgetown was famous for doing this in the DC area. He ran his mouth about how DeMatha was scared of his St. Anthony’s squad for years and Wootten just refused to play him. Thompson went as far as saying that Wootten and DeMatha were scared to come too far downtown(racial jab). It was a classic case of Thompson needing Wootten/DeMatha for legitimacy and tried every bait possible. Wootten never bit. The Oak Hill vs. DeMatha situation was similar, but Oak Hill didn’t really need DM. They just called them out and Wootten never responded. The article below goes further into detail on the Georgetown/Thompson side of the bias...

Denton Guyer should be ahead of Allen in any ranking. It took Allen three damn tries before they finally beat them last year. They also have beaten Allen this year. Most of their losses are to prep and academy type schools. Duncanville did take them down here recently.

SJC loses 61-60 to Paul VI on a 30-footer at the buzzer this afternoon. DeMatha at PVI tomorrow night, both teams are 12-0 in the WCAC and PVI now has 32 straight regular season conference wins.

 

I saw a game in, I believe, the same gym (unless a newer one has been built) in December of 1963 when my hs, Montgomery Blair of Silver Spring, played SJC.  About a month before CBS had run a feature on a band in England that was incredibly popular and coming to the U. S.  That group was the Beatles and their first U.S. appearance was in D.C. at a wrestling and roller derby arena (Uline) which was about 7 or 8 miles from that gym.  The year before DeMatha (which a good friend went to) won their first national championship.

Kevin Plank hadn’t been born yet.
