These teams the past two years were missing that heart that makes teams win. They got the coaching, but they just didnt want it. Ill say this several didnt want it bad enough and you know the old saying 1 bad apple spoils the bunch.
Sider this is about Ironton 2009 not about any other team. So you need to save that talk for the West 2009 thread.
mega talented? Is that why coach said this West team is the most talented team he ever coached? Murphy was a soph, and was twice the player he was as a senior. Miller was a good qb, but no better than the qb this year. The difference was heart, desire, and conditioning. Most of them liked coach and probably knew he was done wrong. That's why a bunch of Ironton players were in our stands against Ridgewood and were going in our lockerroom after West won. The year before Lutz left, wasn't Triplett the lifting coach and the kids wanted him to stay because they liked him?
