Answers, rumors, schedule and more from the first year.

Answer to Anonymous: Yes, it was Mesz. Reason: he played with all that he had every single game.

Rumor: ducky's dad (Mr. DeLeo to all of the players) is new coach. I wish him the best of luck and if he needs anything - please let me know. This is the final year for the old St. Pius X school. Maybe - just maybe they can go out with a threat to the rest of the pac10 because next year they will not be a "A" school. They will be a "AAA" like OJR and Boyertown.

Schedule for 2009 is posted: just use the link and change the year. You boys will have a very, very busy schedule especially after the 09 September.

First year funnies too:
There was a Saturday morning at Holy name and we had to meet at school at 7:30. Some of the players went to McDonalds for breakfast (really bad meal for pregame). They also had left over coffee for some of the other players (nice of them) and brought it on the bus.
There was a JV player that year who thought he should be on varsity. All that he had was speed. Nothing else - period. Could not control the ball under pressure if his life depended on it. Even tripped over the ball when he attempted to speed dribble. He also had a mouth and thought he was funny. Almost all of the varsity players thought he was nothing but a goof/jerk. You know the saying - walks like a goof, talks like a goof, then it is a .........
We get about 15 minutes into the drive and said player falls a sleep leaning against the window. With his mouth OPEN and snoring away. Me and my assistant are new to the coaching high school players so, like dopes we sit up in front of the bus. Really can't see what is going on in the back unless you turn completely around.
There is some loud laughs and talk and I ask them to settle down - but I know something is going down. Just do not know what -yet......
Remember those extra coffees? Well those coffees come with creamers in those little containers that just happen to fit in the palm of ones hand. You can get a whole lot of them on your hand. Needless to say one of the players in the back of the bus opens a lot of these and with both hands dumps them on the sleeping player with the mouth open. I catch some of this in the corner of my eye - but by then it's too late.
Said player looks like he was stuck under a cow and the whole bus is now laughing and screaming. Said player is now very pissed and every other word if F this and F that.
You all know how I feel about that especially being a Catholic school.
Said player also does not have a clue to who did this evil act to him.
I had to tell him and make the player say that he was sorry while still on the bus.
Originally I could not control myself when it happened and like the others started to laugh.
This was just the beginning of the "fun" this player had during his high school career.
I guess you just had to be there.
