Michigan High School Football - Oakridge topples Ravenna

pretty good they have a new field, but they are still making cuts at that school! something IS NOT right if you ask me! one of the high school teahers told the kids that he was going to be assigning much homework, because he will be learning along with them. they have moved teacher s to different subjects that they did not even goto school for. why do the kids have to suffer, because the school has a new field! it is all about FOOTBALL! oakridge kids DO NOT COME FIRST! football does!

i also think that is true. one of my kids also told me about the homework thing. i have not, and will not step one foot onto that field. i went to check it out, but got there and could not bring myself to go in.. it is such a waste of money, and i DO NOT believe all that money was donated. and then they are selling bricks with your name on them for 100. 200. bucks?????????? why and who would want one? not anyone that works at the school, because they don't pay the employees enough to even survive. crock of shit if you ask me! the money should have gone to other things for the children~ not that field there was NOTHING wrong with the other field! the poor poor kids in this school are gettin the shit end of the deal!~

Sounds like jealousy to me from all you Ravenna fans.

The money really was donated for the field, and why is it hard to believe our proud fans would also donate by buying bricks for the wall? A good chunk of funds was from the youth football club since you figure you have 6-8 youth teams using the field every saturday adding to the maintenance everyone thought it was appropriate to donate the profit from sign ups and fundraisers to help with the field. After the 2005 year soooo many kids signed up for the youth football the kids couldnt get home and away jerseys anymore, there werent enough and they have to even purchase more. And since the school doesn't control the youth funds or donations given to the athletic department I say your critism is misdirected.

Can't you read?????. The money to pay for the new field is being donated and will save the school many dollars in future maintenance costs. Sports teaches kids as much if not more as any class...sportmanship, teamwork, discipline, needing to keep your grades up to play etc. If you played any sports you would know that. What school did you graduate from? that is if you graduated ha ha.

Question. If Oakridge doesn't care about their students only football, then why are you sending your kids there????? with school of choice you don't have to?
