With four athletes heading off on Division 1 athletic scholarships next year, Solon Football Coach Jim McQuaide said recruiting ain't what it used to be
Once upon a time, back in the prehistoric days before ESPN, college football coaches got in their cars and drove across the state and across the country looking for the top high school talent.

Or people like Bear Bryant, whose mere presence in a home overwhelmed both players and families. Recruiting has come a long way. Wednesday’s National Signing Day (not a holiday…yet) got 12 hours of coverage on ESPNU. It has become nearly as big as the NFL Draft, with high school seniors finally revealing where they will take their talents. Solon has one of the best big school programs in the …

My guess is that few of those games had 20 plus goal differentials. The point is that running up the score on an opponent that is clearly outclassed shows a lack of respect for sportsmanship and fair play. There just seems to be a blind spot on this especially in lax. This year I've see a coach exhort his team to "go for one more " prior to a face off with less than 30 seconds left and the score … more ›
