To #22-You fool I dont coach at Albany u idiot. I am telling you what was said you clown. And in the paper the encinal coach basically said that the coach of Albany was saying the kids were scared and injured and all of that, thats what I was talking about. I agree with you for sur, the game should have been a forefiet or they should have tried to play it that saturday evening or rescheduled it. It was not cool for a good team to lose out on a game. i hope that albany coach resigns too! He needs to and try to let someone build some pride with the program and in the kids. because the fact that the coach would tell another coach his kids were scared or injured to make excuses about playing the game is straight gutless! And because of that attitude, the kids probably carry that same type of mentality. So slow ur horses with the hard talk Mr.Hammond, or whoever u are! p0lus this thing was two wks ago, time to move on! And how can a team liek Albny stir up so much drama!LOL!!!

Yo Mama, None of the Encinal coaches had anything to say about the Albany Staff. I think they would like to get the game in or at least a forfeit. Lets be real about this. We would’ve won. Jet Pride!

First of all, the referees should have been scheduled correctly the first time. And if its true that the Albany coach was crying about injuries before the actual issue, then its pretty clear that they could were looking for excuses. Secondly, they could not have played Saturday at all, because the Alameda Pop Warner team had permits for that whole day for 6 games. They could have played Monday if they really wanted to play???? Obviously they were “saving” their best for Kennedy, right?

And I don’t care how long the buses are sitting there, $600 a bus is too much! Shop around. I’m sure there are cheaper buses….

Remember… It was two busses. JV and Var. And busses sit around and wait for hours too. Think about it. Renting a car for a day is about $80 so renting two buses with two drivers for 60 kids and coaches for $1200 doesn’t seem unreasonable.

You’re obviously one of the cowards that coach for ALbany to know that much about their team (they get more coaches at the game then fans). You are classless coaches for even attempting to do anything but forfeit the game. You should be fired for getting your team prepared to lose the way you do week in & week out. Do the right thing resign.

What did the Encinal coach say about the Albany coach? I didn’t read anything in the article concerning this.

Well I dont know if it was so much to being scared from what I was told Albany agreed to play the game the next day at either venue, either Saturday Afternoon or Night! Encinal said they did not want to pay for a bus again to my understanding and Albany said they would go to Encinal. But the Superintendant of Alameda would not approve the game becasue it was so last minute. But for some reason The Encinal oach always wants to bad mouth another coach, but I understand them losing a game is not cool at all, but really he needs to get off his high horse and just keep his team ready to play which they are and everything else should fall into place for them, no need to take shots at another coach cuz that shows no class, and thats a bad example also for the kids. I dont think they will get snubbed because of the Albany Crap. And at the same time the culture has to change there. I have been around the Bay for a long time and seen many of teams up and down, but this thing with Albany losing has been almost like forever!

based on the blasting that St Marys took yesterday….maybe Albany was right in ducking the game? Regardless, how in the hell do you pay $1200 for a busride? That should be the focus! We’re talkin about combining high schools and they are paying that?! Hey administration, how about shopping that contract around? Walkers buses I’m sure are not that expensive. Good enoughfor OAL kids….good enough for others too.
Bottom line……Albany was scared for some reason….what does that teach his players?
