Whitewater has never even played a region game! With 42 seniors they better have a great year because it will never get any better for them than this year should be. I know that they have already comitted two huge violations in the county (this season) (1) They were admonished for trying to recruit students who attend Starr's Mill by CW Campbell and (2) were in the end zone of the Starr's Mill/ Cherokee Dome game filming the game.... with two cameras ! For those of you unfamilar with GHSA rules - a HUGE no-no. I don't think you can say anyone has underestimated a team with 42 seniors who is one of the largest 4AAAA schools in the area and is willing to cheat to get a win. Sandy Creek (a AAA team) will play hard and may win, but win, lose or draw thay will do it with less than 42 seniors and no ethical violations this season. Go Patriots!

Old school with old excuses, "it's not fair, you guys are cheating". In case you did not know, all schools recruit and film, this is not a trend started by WHS! No doubt region play will be different from our first three years, however, this team should not be mentioned in the same breath as Fayette and McIntosh, they are much better than that. And they will beat Sandy Creek!

Sandy Creek AAA - 13
Whitewater AAAA - 10

Enough said.

and believe me, turnovers killed WW's game. They made the better big plays all evening. Sandy Creek played well enough and got the advantage of a turnover that resulted in their first touchdown.

Whitewater is for real.

I'll remind you of the Creek's scores during the season, let see how long you can beat your drum. Obviously you can't win with class.

Go Wildcats!!!

I can see that you disagree with Steve Brown (and me) for loyalty reasons and that's fine. As for "cheating", you obviously don't know anything about the GHSA, why it exists, or what it does. Yes, filming is allowed - but ONLY your own games. The standard fine for illegal filming in the GHSA is $1000. Since you don't know that, maybe the coaches that are scouting with pen and paper and legally trading game film(s) before games will make sense to you now. As for the "everybody does it" excuse for recruiting active players from other schools..... maybe you should re-examine your ethical and moral standards a little closer. At a cost of $7000 per student, inviting kids to come play football from other schools is, at minimum, unethical. Students who transfer are subject to eligibility restrictions. Seems to me that the 'Blue Devil' coaches at Whitewater need to learn the GHSA standards if they want to coach 4AAAA high school. As for me, I will wait to see what the record looks like for Whitewater after they have played in the region for four years. The 42 seniors will be gone, the program will be (because they didn't play region schedules for three years) seven years old (which means that other teams will legitimately have tape on them and their trends) and then we can begin to see what kind of program they really have. I wouldn't be so fast to crown Whitewater king of all they survey. I remember Starr's Mill going to the dome with their first senior class for the state finals. Let's see if the Widcats can at least match that small feat before they are crowned the kings of football. Now you know a little something about old school football and the GHSA.

It sounds like there has been some rule infringement here. High school athletics shouldn't be a cheater-take-all thing. I'm disappointed to hear about this kind of activity.

Perhaps some public exposure would stop the terrible practice for good.

GOOD QUESTION - Maybe you should keep asking it!!
