The Esteps are close friends of the Cliffords (as well as other families in Portsmouth).scarlet_gray wrote:We understand that you don't believe in Charlotte's State Championships, but they must mean something when they are ranked that high nationally! You say that these rankings are bogus, but there's such a large gap between Charlotte's rankings and this area's team rankings, that it must mean something.
We understand that the Esteps can't bring those players with him, we're just trying to say that they obviously know how to win with talent! Something Clifford and his ENTIRE staff did not know how to do. They utilize their players to the maximum potential, something I would love to be seen done to our kids.
I am not knocking Ted's integrity or character, he's a great guy, but that's not going to make him a good HC. There'd be a hard time "bringing back the fire" to Trojan football. People would not get excited again, and I hate to say it, but the kids would probably not respect him as much as they would an outsider.
Although Newsome is not Clifford, he was still on the staff for all these terrible recent years we've had. And that's something that's going to carry with him.
Do you believe that they would be considered "outsiders"?
