To all of you haters, including Scott. It is very easy to throw stones and coach from the blogs. It is obvious that everyone slandering coach Mohns has no idea of his philosphies or the morals that he instills in his team. My son has played for Jason since he was 9 years old and has been taught the opposite of what all of you think. He, and all of the others, are taught to win with sportsmanship.
I was on the sidelines and maybe you guys did not see it but our team was told to not score in the last quarter. What do you suggest we do? Take a knee and let them score on every play so the score is closer? It can not be helped if our 2′s and 3′s score at will. Our back up QB was told to lay down and not score in the third quarter. So, Scott and all of you haters, keep it shut PLEASE!!!!!!!!
