I agree that the businesses around town should show more support. I did happen to be at that game and was shocked at the disrespect of the youth attending. The response from the high school students sitting in the middle section when Mr. Tague announced that Dr. John Ilko had put on the firework show was filled with boo's. All the adults attending that game applauded, the student booed. I wouldn't blame Dr. Ilko if he never supported our school or football program ever again. What kind of thanks was that from a bunch of disrespectful, foul mouthed, barely clothed teenagers? Half the crowd that was sitting behind the teenagers got up and left the game before the 1st quarter was even over with because the “kids” would not sit down. I understand its fun to stand and yell for your team (or boo at the fireworks) but why not sit in the back rows? Duh! I couldn't even begin to count how many little teenage girls had either their panties showing out the back of their shorts or their other parts hanging out. The foul language coming from the whole teenage crowd was even more ridiculous. The gentlemen next to me got up and took his five year old home because it was so bad. Whoever designed those stands was pretty dumb as well. If you are on the bottom 6 rows, you can't see because the track itself is 2 feet above the bottom bleacher. Then you put all the kids walking back and forth in front of you and all the rude people standing at the fence to watch and it makes for the worst football game you could ever attend. I understand the need for bathroom visits and concession stands but why not put all that behind the stands so that people walk to the center and up to get to those things. I wonder if this designer had ever been to a real football field or any type of sporting event place, that's how they all are built so that people are not walking in front of you. I have two football players in my family so I will have to endure the crappy stands and the jerk kids. My oldest is in 8th grade yet no media has yet to mention their games or how well they are doing this season.
I am so glad to see old equipment such as this spreader going to a museum instead of a scrap yard. It will be enjoyed by many! I think the old Marcia Car at the city park should also go out to Wyman's where it can be cherished moreso than it is now. I bet the destructive teenagers won't be able to spray paint it when it's out there. I remember walking through the old Marcia car when I was a kid and I still remember the smell of the old wood in it. I think the Wyman's would take better care of it and open it back up so the inside can be viewed and enjoyed once again. I am a sucker for history and my American Heritage!
No, not everybody played…..the 8th grade boys didn't get to play because they said our 8th grade boys were too big for their kids. This happened last year as well. My son didn't get to play in several games because him and some of the bigger boys were not allowed to; because they are too big. This is football! If these other teams can't handle it maybe they should have joined golf or tennis? Signed, confused mom of a 6'0 8th grader…..
I agree, last time I was there I couldn't even enjoy myself because of all the teens and their ridiculously loud rap music coming from three different cars, all of course playing different songs. Then some kid, trying to impress the girls; backed into my car. I feel sorry for the people that take their little kids there that actually want to play.
I think this is also ridiculous. I have two kids in CMS and CIS. I have also experienced some pretty ridiculous things that have gone on in the schools. Last year my son had a digital photography class and Mr. Severson failed him because I wouldn't send my 7th grader to school with my $1000 digital camera. He then had a weaving class…..that should help him get into college. Moffat County School District also let their employees' park in the handicapped parking. When my husband had to bring my son something to the school the other day, the lunch ladies at CMS were parked in the handicapped. My husband is disabled and has a handicap card, the lunch ladies do not. Yet the police department told us that this was private property so they could do nothing about it. Private property that we- as tax payers pay for. Yet with my husband being disabled, my kids do not receive free or reduced priced lunches but when I was reading their application for it, it states that you DONOT have to be a legal citizen to receive reduced or free lunches. My kids are american citizens but they can't qualify for that. Unbelievable!
