Calhoun fans pick Calhoun to be first because of the local knowledge that they have learned over years of watching the kids play.
Not me, but some of the Calhoun folks have followed these boys from the time they were in diapers. They know what the kids are made of much more than I do.
There is usually around 50-100 peopl on the road alongside the practice field watching practice.
The team may have lost some starters but a lot of the guys replacing the starters had a lot of playing time.
Who knows the Alice team better, you or someone from Victoria, well I assume you do, you prob have known some of the kids on the Alice team since they were in diapers, I'm going to assume you attended the youth league teams you spoke so highly of. I assume you went to the JV games and learned what you have.
Well the Calhoun fans have done the same thing.sprinkle in a few transfers and we know what kind of team we will have.
I and other fans know why we will see more passin this year as opposed to other years. Why? Because we know what we have.
I don't know how else to explain to you why a fan base believes their team will finish first. It's because there are people who have first hand knowledge of what we have. There are much more knowledgable Calhoun fans than I, who may be able to articulate this better than I, but bottom line is its simple.
You lose people to graduation.
You add people to replace those who graduated
You add in the few transfers we have
You remember the core group of players coming back
You add in local knowledge
And this equals and informed opinion.
Just like the Alice fan base, but you have yet to tell anyone where Alice will end up this year. You has us for Nswering your questions but you won't go out on a limb and say where your team will finish. Hello?
