i am not saying this team is by far the worst out there... just going off past knowledge of the team and those who have fed me information (we all have scouts i guess). I am sure as most teams do, they have gotten better.  4th grade some kids start to finally get it. Good for any team that improves, I was just a little confused about all this talk up of a team that is for lack of a better metaphor, OUR version of ULM or Southeaster Louisiana... if that makes sense

well we dont have the play count rule so i heard plenty of complaints about that team not playing all their players. Which sucks for those kids. We dont play them until 4 or 5 weeks in the season so i wonder if they grew even more which tends to happen. I think they ended up 5th over all they are definitely the better team in Choctaw.

Baby league?? now why did you have to go and insult like that. I wouldn't say its a baby league at all I think we have 3 or 4 teams that could compete pretty well with your league (all of this is speculation on both our parts) because as you said its all in the preparation and most of these teams probably like you are at it 3 or 4 days a week 6-830 and grinding to get better. Theres definitely a noticeable difference in coaching you can tell which coaches understand the game and those who think they do...

And Bixby...........

Yeah that would definitely something the INFC would be interested in, but the problem is when you go to successful organizations and try to recruit them into your league and tell them they have to go by your rules and some possibly split their team up then it creates issues with Parents, Coaches, and Club Presidents. Even with 15-20 kids on your roster unless you have about 12-13 kids that are very easy to coach and immediate difference makers in the game then it's still tough. I would say if a team has 18-20 kids on a team and they had 10 kids that are impact players as soon as they step on the field and the team they were playing had 15 kids and 10 kids that were impact players as soon as they step on the field then you would see the team with 15 kids win by at least a couple touchdowns in the 2nd half. There is just that much of a difference in this league and because of that it will cause coaches to start coaching their kids from Bottom to Top better preparing kids as a whole league for that next level of play. Now I do understand there are still great coaches in every league so don't get me wrong, but Player Participation is a huge benefactor for our State, League, and Future. Rather it gives our kids more coaches because of Team splitting or even if a Coach wants to be competitive in order to do so he better build up the kids around his "Super Stars". With that being said most teams can not have their best kids on the field at any given moment which makes the Player Participation Rule a BIG DIFFERENCE in organization rules.

Bartlesville White (0-1) @ Owasso White (0-1) I got Owasso but it might be close. This Owasso team was good last year. I heard there have been some coaching changes. We will see if new guy can get them going. 

Collinsville (1-0) @ Sand Springs (0-1) - Cardinals show that they are for real this week!


Catoosa (1-0) @ Hilldale (0-1) - Interseting game here. I hear Catoosa found some big boys that get after it. I think Hilldale is better.

Sequoyah (1-0) @ TYAA Blue (1-0) - Aint no upset alert here. Bulldogs will run all over Sequoyah!!

BA Black (1-0) @ Wagoner Red (0-1) - Don't think BA Black is as good as they think they are. Week 1 was a big time flop by Owasso. Wagoner make it really hard on BA.

Coweta (0-1) @ TYAA White (1-0) - Bulldogs will dominate

Bixby Red (1-0) @ Claremore (0-1) - Bixby will get fired up this week. They win by 3tds

Muskogee (1-0) @ Jenks Silver (1-0) - Not sold on Muskogee. They have some good athletes but I think Jenks is a more disciplined team.

Owasso Black (0-1) @ McAlester (0-1) - Owasso could not get anything going week 1 against Tyaa. they had opportunities but didn't take advantage. I think they will get better this week. Owasso by 2 tds

BA Silver (1-0) @ Union Black (1-0) - BA has some great backs but they struggle against physical defenses. Union is very physical!

Sapulpa (1-0) @ Skiatook (0-1) - Game could go either way

Bixby Blue (1-0) @ Wagoner Black (1-0) - Good game here. Bixby is a solid football team and they win by 2tds

Bartlesville Blue (0-1) @ Bixby Platinum (0-1) - Not sure what happened to this Bville team. They seem to struggle week 1. I think they get some things working this week.

Jenks Black (0-1) @ Grove (1-0) - Grove gonna shut it down early

Union Silver (1-0) @ Owasso Red (1-0) - Should be a good game. Owasso still the same as always. #7 left, #7 right. I do believe there luck will run out this week. Owasso has more talent than Union but a great coaching staff will win this game for Union.

Stillwater (0-1) @ Jenks White (1-0) - Jenks White will shut the scoreboard off!

Wow!! So I guess this is one way to meet everyone. My name is Aaron McConnell and I Am the 4th Grade coach for the CNP Yellowjackets as well as the Coordinator for our organization. Yes we are the Choctaw organization in INFC because we have kids from the town of Choctaw not just Nicoma Park. This is the second time I have ever been on this message board because I understand it is for fans and this is the kind of things that fans enjoy doing. Now that I have been personally attacked I guess it's time to post because the last thing I want is fans/coaches of INFC youth football reading a post from some dude that never played past high school football or at some less than creditable Juco talk about me and give the wrong impression.

First, I would like to say that they are right. We are not a world beater team and we don't have the 1 or 2 fast kids that you can send around the edge or throw deep with to win games. We are a full team of kids (32 to be exact) that want to play including a kid with 1 leg that has more drive and heart than most people combined. I have 2 kids with autism that just want to be normal. The normal kids play football so that's what they are doing. We are teaching football and the game inside the game. See I was a QB in 2nd thru 4th grade of the undefeated Indian Meridian Warriors and I grew to be an undrafted free agent with the Tennessee Titans as a 340 pound Defensive TACKLE. Then went to play 7 years on different pro teams including Canada and Arena Football. My point to that is there are kids that are playing positions now that they will never play again. I want to teach football, not winning or losing with the fasted kid around the edge. We teach things from the line changing blocking schemes on there own to clock management. That to me is what this game is about. It is very hard to win if you are only teaching. I can tell you if we wanted to be competitive and win we could but to many kids would quit this game due to not getting to play and that's not what youth sports is about.
Now to respond to this guy who would never say these things to my face. We don't win a bunch and I promise you guys that is not a problem with me. Im not sure we have won more than 3 games in a season. Lol My youth trophies are in my parents attic along with grandmas blankets. Trophies as wins are important to most dads that walk with their chest out not coaches that want to teach football. I agree winning is fun and all but having a reason to wear your helmet in high school is more important to me. The problem with high school sports these days is the best athletes are walking the halls and not playing football. Because you have coaches like this guy that coached them as kids.
To personally attack me on here is cool and all but to talk crap about things you have no clue about shows a ton about you Racer!! Let me talk a little about that Choctaw game you speak about. It was like 50 something to 6 with 3 minutes left and the Choctaw coach called 3 reverses and scored on 2 of them while kicking onside kicks between with all starters still in the game. They had 30 something kids and some never played a down in this game.  That shows a ton of class and a great sign of a "coach" so please don't speak unless you were apart of the situation. (Which I have a feeling you were just posting under a different name) After the game shaking hands I let him and his little staff know they were classless for that and yes it sparked a battle. Again that is not what this game should be about. His Edmond living QB is a stud and scored almost every play. We couldn't handle him and I have no problem saying that.
Now to fill you guys in on the combining the Nicoma Park and Choctaw comment. Again something superman here knows nothing about. We are the town of Choctaw and have 2 different organization with 2 different beliefs among the 2. I tried to bring us together and make us 1 organization that could represent Choctaw and grow as a community through youth sports. Playing the teams that are smaller school does nothing for our kids when they get to high school. We step out on Jenks or Union fields and half the time we are beat before the game starts on atmosphere alone because we have been playing at places like Newcastle in little league. I believe we should be playing these teams now and this is part of what I tried to do with Choctaw youth sports. Combining the 2 gave more kids the chance to play together as they will in high school. Also gave more kids the chance to play positions and get playing time instead of standing on the sidelines. The biggest problem to this was the  CYF coaches have some hand picked teams and were scared to lose those teams. If we combine and draft as all other areas do with big numbers CYF would not be able to have the teams they have so they would actually have to be coaches. So again to fill everyone in on this since it was brought up and one sided. We could care less about a super team we wanted to be Choctaw!!
I wanted to take the time to explain the truth about what Racer thought he knew. Haha by the way if you personally have a problem with me I live in Rabbit Run CHOCTAW America. Come chat with me!!!

So it was nice to meet all of you and I hope you take the time to speak to me if we are playing against each other and you will learn really fast that I am 100% for the kids and what is best for their future in this amazing sport of football.
Good luck to everyone this year and hope for the safety of your players. God Bless!

Salute Coach Mac!!!
