Do you ever think or do any research before you speak or do you just spout a bunch of nonsense? They leave for college, sure, but they come back after. They teach, work at local businesses, become leaders in the community, have families and raise the next generation of kids to come through the school district. It might be basic, if that's the term you choose, but there is nothing sad about it. It's one of the great things about thriving small communities.
Delmar loves football. No question. But the town supports all of athletics and the school itself. I've never seen a kid screw up during a game and the town turn on them. If anything it's the complete opposite. Kids may leave town after they graduate but a lot return so their kids can experience the same thing they did. Not to mention Delmar is one of the top public schools in the state. Which is why a lot of kids school choice to Delmar and people are always trying to move into the district.
Not everyone can move to New Castle County and sell shower rings like RR. What a life
sure they are,,, they are coming in in droves.. what is Delmars enrollment now? What was it 20 years ago? stop living in the past
Caravel doesnt have anything to do with this conversation..and it is a conversation not an accusation.. People send their kids to Caravel for the college prep curriculum not nostalgia none the less I get both sides of the topic.. Personally I moved allot as a kid and went to 5 different high schools in 3 states changing high school 6 times.. So I dont have that nostalgia and recall of the "HS years" but I did witness some of small town shut the town down on Friday nights for the local HS game while at Manhattan High in Kansas. Many of my teammates felt stress by the coaches, parents etc.. to not let the town down.. I didnt experience that at the other schools I attended as they were schools with kids from all over or Joppatowne Md where the only support was parents of kids on the team

RR our enrollment is larger now than 20 years ago, however we have opened up school choice due to enrollment decline in the past couple of years. As far as a player being singled out for performance, Dave Hearn does not and will not tolerate it. His only statement on a loss is "I did not have my team prepared to win this game".
sbb I dont doubt you... and I have stated many times on here how I love the southern Delaware home town football vibe,,was just posing some questions and they seem to be answered... Delmar is utopia...In all seriousness I hold my time spent in Manhattan very dear and consider it my home town.. Every town has its DBags though lol
BUT I was at a playoff game at Delmar and spent some time on the concession side endzone fence.. Lets just say I heard some crazy comments coming from the Delmar yahoo's... Yeah everyone has their yahoos but damn those dudes were intense or drunk as hell who knows lol
Certainly but 2 out of 3 in the fall isn't bad. It is a different landscape now I am afraid. City titles are getting hard to get these days. Hell even the swim team isn't a lock anymore and thank God we have Chip.
Try a Cross Country course one afternoon Fan, lets see how you football it up
Why?
Running for distance is admirable but not something that interests me .
And well , soccer is the worst sport ever.
It’s basketball season now .
