    HEY HEY
    Coach Ashes, AD Swift and Wildcat Willy…is there any truth that you all are trying to get one of Washington High Schools best prospects to jump ship to Newark next year?
    Oh slap me down!!! Newark doesn’t recruit!
    How’s it going in your pursuit of the kid from Bishop O’Dowd…oh slap me down Newark doesn’t recruit!
    I for one am looking forward to the next MVAL Athletes Directors meeting to hear that old fibber MR SWIFT say (Slap me down!) Newark doesn’t recruit!

    Sootless starting with The Man In The Mirror, he’s Asking Him To Change His Ways, And No Message Could Have Been Any Clearer,If he Wanna Make The World A Better Place Take A Look At himself, And Then Make A Change. He is like a willow deeply scarred, His broken heart and his washed out dream and they follow the pattern of the wind ya’ see ‘Cause they got no place to be. That’s why he is starting with his self.

    sootless, who’s the mystery recruit from odowd?

  7. workaholic Says:

    Sootless or should i say Mr. Veronin or however you spell it. why dont you just stay home instead of embarassing yourself and your family when you go to games. OHHHH i forgot Washington’s season is over. Didnt they lose to De LA Salle?? I thought you said that Washington would give De La Salle a run for its money?? HMMMMM. Better luck next year. maybe your kid would have had a chance to go D1 if he went to Newark. But if he was good enough im sure those guys from Newark would have been all over him. Maybe he could have got a car out of Newark or some money. LOL You guys are a joke Stop hating on everyone its getting really old. Go grab another beer at he bar and enjoy the games.

  8. bhouse Says:

    people can call this whatever they want, i don’t really care where kids go and where they are from but i will bet anything that NM and Cv will both have transfers from outside there district next year as well and also have incoming frosh from outside there district on there respective teams, like is said i really don’t care but you have to admit it is a disadvantage to everyone else thats all i think we need to acknowledge

  9. bbfan2 Says:

    bhouse, i am kinda with u on this one, its like on the one hand who cares, but on the other hand its a fact that they have kids that play out of their district,but it really takes a good coach to have a successful program and even if the other schools got some of the same talent they might not even know what to do with it. ashmore is a good coach. and we shouldn’t be bad mouthin players on here to get our points across

  10. sootless Says:

    Cheat-a-holic & Mrs. K…

    If you want to support and defend the coaches, athletic director and other representatives of the Newark Memorial athletic department (ie Wily Clark) as they boldly continue to URGE and ENTICE students (K.J. and Junior) who do not attend their school to transfer their attendance to Newark Memorial for the purpose of athletic participation… fine and good luck living with yourself.
    That my brother and sisters makes you cheaters so why don’t you just admit it ? Workaholic or should I call you Cheat-a-holic…I guess you are a defender of all the cheating, lying and yes recruiting you high school does you sick puppy you. Coach Ashes, AD Swift should be fired ASAP for they are corrupt people who are encouraging our youth to cheat. As for you Wildcat Wily… if you live in Ardenwood why doesn’t your kid go to school in Fremont?

    C-ya

  11. bbfan2 Says:

    if u r talkin about the jr that goes to odowd, he will be stayin there and continuing to take advantage of the great education he is receiving,so stop spreading non truths

  12. sootless Says:

    Bbfan please…The next thing you’ll be telling me is Newark didn’t try to RECRUIT the Jordan Barton kid either…Well they did and he decided to stay at O’Dowd. Junior may stay at O’Dowd (THAT’S GOOD!) but he has been RECRUITED by Newark and that’s not good… That just wrong!

    Here another one…If Ashmore couldn’t recruit would still win?

  13. bbfan2 Says:

    sootless, sure everyone inquired, but when junior made his decision to go to bishop ashmore did nothing but commend him and wish him the best of luck and every time he sees him, he gives him a firm hanshake and tells him to keep up the good work and has never tried to influence him to think about transferring. I do see why you would be upset,but i think ashmore is a good coach and that washington has alot of talent,too.

  14. local coach Says:

    I will tell you what sootless, if Ashmore was the washington coach this year I will bet that he would have found away to beat this years newark team! You just heard straght from someone that Ashmore never tried to get his kid to transfer so get over it.

  15. sootless Says:

    When Newark stops recruiting I will get over it.

    YES..I have agree Washington had the TALENT to beat Newark this year.

    Answer me this… if Washington had raided the MVAL (picked off one on JFKs all leaguers or got Andrews) and recruited TALENT the way Newark has done and continues… like they are doing with (K.J. from Washington) at this moment (care to comment Wildcat?) over the years they WOULD have won this year case closed.

    Answer me this…does Ashmore win without recruiting? I don’t think so!
    Newark wanted Andrews and Newark got Andrews (and as illegal/unethical as it is Wildcat Wily, AD Swift and Coach Ash always get their recruit).

    Tell me Newark doesn’t recruit and I’ll tell you the world is flat.

    Isn’t that REALLY the difference in who was top dog in the MVAL in 2010?

    STOP THE RECRUITING!!!

  16. Giantsfan Says:

    96-97 Newark league champs 10-2
    98-99 league champs 11-1
    99-00 league champs 12-0
    00-01 league champs 10-2

    Proven winner

    And you can’t argue at all that the mval was a lot tougher back in those days.

    Funny how you don’t mention how boggs used to GET all the Newark kids in the early 90s. Notice the emphasis on GET not recruit. Kids wanted to play for boggs. Recruiting is a very serious offense in high school sports. I don’t think it’s right for someone to accuse someone of this. You are calling someone a cheater and a liar. Funny how you do it on a website instead of face to face. Grow up!!

    If they are recruiting then don’t you thing ncs, cif would have stepped in by now??

  17. sootless Says:

    Giants fan…you need to smell the coffee brother.

    1990′s proven winners have become 2000′s proven cheaters.

    What is athletic recruiting? This sums it up dead on …

    “Athletic recruiting is any attempt by any employee or athletic department staff member of an member school, or a representative of the school’s athletic interests, to pressure, urge or entice a student who does not attend that school to transfer his/her attendance there for the purpose of athletic participation.
    This occurs when the school employee, athletic department staff member or representative of the school’s athletic interests makes improper
    contact with the student or a member of his/her family in an effort to pressure or urge the student to go to that school OR promises, offers or gives the
    student an impermissible benefit in an effort to entice the student to go to that school.”

    -Florida High School Athletic Association, Affidavit of Compliance with Policy on Athletic Recruiting (2009-2010)

    Does that ring a bell Newark apologist?

    Care to comment coach Ashes?
    Care to comment Wildcat Wily?
    This is going on today with WHS (K.J.) as Newark is going after or as you like to say >GET <one WSH best players.
    By the way you can bet this one going to be looked at by NCS.

  18. MVALman Says:

    #1 How does the Florida High School Athletic Association policies have any impact on the Bay Area?

    #2 You need to grow up. Kids want to play for Newark because it is a great basketball program with a great coach so of course they will want to go there. Maybe if Washington won more games then kids would want to go there to play basketball.

  19. Local Coach Says:

    Don’t waste your time Giants fan, sootless won’t listen to anyone! People have come on here and said that Ashmore has never talked to their kid and sootless still cries. He knows nothing of the history of Newark he only talks about the last four years. Facts Newark has been winning for along time, Fact Willy does not work for Newark! Fact, it is none of our business why Willy sent his kids to Newark, I do know that he was not impressed with any of the fremont schools.Fact, if parents really want to go to your school I don’t care who talks to them they will still go to your school. He ‘NEVER” adresses the issue of washington going all over thr fremont junior high schools inviting kids to their open gyms. Don’t say what is going to happen prove something.

  20. Giantsfan Says:

    California interscholastic federation states and this is a summary… ” a STUDENT/ATHLETE regardless of what city or district they live is under no obligation to attend the same high school where they reside or where that junior high schools district is stationed. Once a student is ENROLLED in the school he or she is then obligated to attend that school. If there is a transfer must first go through the district they are enrolled in then to accepting district or school… After that if there are any challeges/ discrepancies they will be seen by the commite sanctioning that area…”

    as I read this it is my understanding that no kid is the property of any school. Regardless of where they attend elementary, junior high school.

    Notice California not Florida…

    Sootless you are getting put in your place. Probably bout time for you to give it up. You sound like a bitter person. Let the kids play. Let the parents do what is necessary for their child. My kids went to Newark. They did not play sports but did attend. Ashmore was a teacher of my kids and they enjoyed him very much. Great person great teacher great coach. Case closed.

  21. sootless Says:

    Giantsfan, Local Coach & MVAL man …

    Time for all of you to go scratch you dirty necks. Just admit you have been proven wrong and when someone has been “schooled’ like you guys have they tend is to scratch their necks, while looking off or away so start scratching.

    As for me I’m proud to be on the right side the ethical side of this debate. What’s morally right in Florida is morally right in California… what don’t you get about that? What does Local Coach mean when he says “Ashmore has never talked to their kid” when Ashmore and Clark are currently trying to pull “KJ “one of WSH best player over to Newark.. right now and that’s a FACT you chumps seem to NOT want to not want talk about? How can you defend these snakes?

    Coaches do not engage, directly or through agents, in uninvited in-person solicitation of business from actual or potential athletes or other participants who, because of their particular circumstances, are vulnerable to undue influence.

  22. Local Coach Says:

    Who is K.J? is he the second coming of M.J. Like I said if this kid wants to go to your school it won’t matter who talks to them! I was talking about the O”DOWD kid that you said Ashmore was talking to, someone came on and told that Ashmore never talked to the kid about coming to Newark! Since you like the Florida rules so much move there.

  23. Local Coach Says:

    And why do you get so personal on here “CHUMPS” I don’t know you and you don’t know me, you have your opinion and I have mine. If you can prove any of the things that you claim then you will be right, but until you do I have a right to say what I want. So lets try to stay off of the personal attacks. Life is to short to get that fired up!

  24. sootless Says:

    Where are you brothers and sisters… I mean MVAL man, MVAL Mom ie (Mrs. K), Giants Fan and whatever name Mr. Norris is bloggin by this week. Why are you all running from this one? Your latest recruiting scandal that is.
    Here is the answer for you Local coach… hope your not playing dumb on me now?
    FYI…
    KJ is a very promising Washington High School basketball player (going to be a junior at WHS) an for sure one of if not the best player Washington High School will have in 2011. Wildcat Wily and Coach Ashmore have approached him MORE THAN ONCE to get him to and jump to Newark. You can call that recruiting or you can call it undue influence but you would have to agree it’s just wrong! Newark has got away with this for year but even the mighty Mater Dei has been placed on probation for Recruiting Violations. Newarks time to be placed on probation is now! Kyle you got your smoking gun so run with it. You take this one to the bank!

  25. Local Coach Says:

    Not playing dumb, I don’t follow washington at all, so I don’t know who K.J. is so if you say that he is good then I will go with that. If he is already at your school I would think that he will stay there. Will he get better playing at washington no but that is his home school. I don’t know who is talking to this kid but I do believe that with all that is going on I don’t think that Ashmore would talk to or touch a kid already at your school. Once again that is my opinion! He has no control on what other people or parents do or say. If this K.J’s parents are commited to washington then there is nothing to worry about. If what you say is true than the parents should have no trouble proving that the head coach of the best team in the league came up to their son or them and told them that their son should transfer.

  26. sootless Says:

    Why are you all Newark folks running from this one? Maybe because the smoking gun has cougar prints all over it!

    Local Coach.
    K.J. would be to be one of WHS best players next year but Newark is aggressively recruiting him. Wildcat Wily and the Ashmores have approached him not once but [SEVERAL TIMES] to try and convince him to play for Newark next year. Recruiting talent form outside their school district boundaries is how Newark wins. That’s just a fact. Coach Ashmore (the master of undue influence) is unethical and should step down as coach. His program should be put on probation.

  27. High School Sports Junkie Says:

    sounds like sootless or his reative wanted to go to Newark but wasn’t good enough so he has a resentment

  28. MVALMOM2 Says:

    sootless no one is saying anything in hopes that you will finally shut up, but we all know that won’t happen. I personally know KJ and I also know his Dad Frank and once again you don’t know what you are talking about. This will be my last post to you because if I continue to respond to your crap, I would be wasting my time, just as you have wasted yours all these years. You need to do something with your life. Like I said in a earlier blog, like Charles and Kenny says; it’s time for you to go fishing!!!!!!

  29. Scl Alum Says:

    Anybody know if the Div IV boys NorCal semifinal between St Patrick / Vincent and St. Mary’s is in overtime? Most of the results tonight have already been posted on CIF website with this exception

  30. sootless Says:

    Sorry… High School Sports Junkie ethical people “JUST SAY NO” those who are unethical. Please look up undue influence.

    MRS K…therefore as the rest of the world goes fishing the Ashmores & Clark with Mr. Swifts/Mr. Fibbs blessings go recruiting!!!!!!I

    I personally know Frank as well and your boys (Swift, Wildcat and the Ashmores) have put him in a tight spot. This didn’t have to happen but when it comes to stealing the MVALs best players when has Newark ever played nice?
    I’m glad to hear is your last post but you and all the rest of the Newark apologist might want check your local papers for a story on this real soon!

  31. bhouse Says:

    again not try to stir things up nor do i care just trying to give sootless some credit i do know of a younger level player at nm that lives about 3 blocks from Washington, it just does not seem right

  32. sootless Says:

    Thank you Bhouse!

    The recruiting of KJ by Newark Memorial really stinks! One week Ashmore tells Mike Trip (WSH AD & coach) he wants to make the MVAL stronger and more respected and then he goes and tries to recruit away one of his best players.

    If you would like this to stop I would like to encourage others out there to send in your Newark Memorial recruiting stories. If you want to stop the recruiting…the more smoking guns the better! Again, check your local papers for a story on all this at your local news stand soon!

    PEACE BE WITH YOU
