Taylor King is a shinning example of how overbearing parents+pot can borderline ruin someone's life. He's lucky that he got to play a semblance of a professional career, but I feel bad for him given what some of his peers have accomplished in comparison (e.g. Klay Thomas, and Kevin Love).
Anyway, you think Stanley Johnson will last in the NBA? because MD still has yet to produce a player that will last long in the NBA, even as a bench player. The post MD life for the majority of the programs' players does raise some eyebrows but I would argue that no high school should focus on send...
568403 If that school wanted to get to the bottom of who was leading the chants and or directly making certain remarks, they could have. I've been involved with corporate investigations, have knowledge of how proper school investigations are conducted and it IS NOT that difficult to find what you a...
That player on Santa Margarita (linebacker #32) was directly yelling the same racial slur at MD offensive players after every touchdown his defense surrendered in a 40 point loss in 2016. But yeah, I'm sure some good ol' conditioning work had him realizing the error of his ways!! Shoot, good point,...
568393 The "organization" was their entire student section, which simply renamed itself "The Asylum" (appropriate on many levels) and carried on. Lets not pretend like making monkey sounds at black athletes, calling them slurs, and CHANTING at multi-racial players "which on...

Which Servite very publicly corrected by apologizing for its student body, holding an all school meeting to address the behavior, and disbanding that organization to prevent it from happening again...
First ir was MD recruits, then they cheat, then they take Senior transfers, Now they CURSE!!! ( Hide the woman and children ) the sky is falling!!! I thought the venom for MD was bad before, but to point out that boys full of testosterone actually curse before a football game, "OH DEAR"!!...
So I had to terminate a few of our new hires who were fresher out of college earlier this week. We weren't their first employers by any means, but their first serious foray into their chosen field. Their biggest issues largely had to deal with overall professionalism and work ethic. Jumping out of t...
Anyone else to the point where you don't even other to read, you just look at the name and move on? Pretty soon just reading the thread name will suffice... Yeah I'm totally at this point. It's always "Hmm here's a good bit of text criticizing Mater Dei this could be an interesting read...oh i...
567551 Still admirable that you did those volunteer hours no doubt. Just wish the school did more when we all know (1) the area is bad, and (2) the school, families and alumni have the skills and resources to do more / do better. Let's see...Mater Dei had a program where it sent its theater classes...
So Patty, do you or any of your MD classmates live in the neighborhood directly around the school? Don’t bother responding because we all know the answer. Great area, huh? :roll: Is there a single poster on here who would rather live next to MD than SMCHS? Should we check Zillow and see which area ...
566820 I'd agree with this, except I think it's all families, not just the 'rich' ones. Having great sports programs does not hurt though. It helps with exposure to more families IMHO. I moved here in early 90's and the private high school I heard about was Mater Dei and that was from people who di...
566163 I think the key is, Bowen and Clinton both need to go, so the football program can thrive again, and money can flow back into the school. Where will Myer end up? Crean? El Toro? San Juan Hills? options, options. Only In Orange County. :rockon: Servite cannibalism at it's finest. "Let's ...
Maybe it's just me but I think there's a great deal of hubris in those who think a successful football program is somehow intertwined with a school's growth, financial, success, etc. Don't get me wrong...it does a lot for school pride, general interest, morale, etc. but in my experience most of the ...
I've personally been against the whole "transfer" culture that exists in HS and youth sports. Yet at the same time I do understand the mentality. In the business world companies will do just about anything to attract the best talent, develop the best product, corner a market, etc. You can'...
I kept telling the guy to clean the cup after he was done using it. Also, at the time, I was unaware that he had bleeding gums. I know the time that I contracted the virus on account of the jaundice. And, sharing my cup with blood transference was the only way I could have gotten it at that time. S...
