Yes...you and the Mrs. definitely deserve an award! For what it's worth, I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to follow your boys' success through the years. Great kids, great teammates, great family.
I could never get a total of how many state championships(individual and team) must be in the YJM household...and thankfully, there's a few more years to add to it!
I remember it well, there wasn't a suitable venue anywhere north due to an early substantial snow fall. The D2 game was played in Laurel. Back to the subject at hand.....Didn't DSU literally price themselves out of the games? I seem to remember hearing that.
Vert,
Let's just say during that time frame I was bit more focused on the game itself. Early and substantial snow is quite accurate. Lines painted ORANGE for the game at Seaford.
I personally wouldn't complain about any drive in DE. If DSU can't handle it from a logistic issue then they simply shouldn't be in discussion for hosting. I would have to imagine the UD still looks very empty though.

or leaving at 5am to get there on time and when do you find out your kid has 2 byes and first match wont be until noon lol.. (yeah I know weigh ins and all but damn)
The teams were offered to postpone to the following weekend, but with snow in the forecast they decided to play them Sunday on whatever fields where available. Today they would postpone if the field was in the shape that these teams played on.
And for Delmar fans....
It's a shame that there are not some sort of highlights available for all the title games.

The best statement about the upstate/downstate issue that I have ever heard was made by a former State Legislator; "no one in Sussex County has ever worked 51 weeks a year just so they could spend the 52nd week in New Castle county." Best of luck to all 4 teams Saturday. Would love to attend but family commitments have me out of town.

Former St. Mark's quarterback Joe Wright was the offensive coordinator at St. Elizabeth this past season and is a new dad. The Colonials' J.T. Laws is an assistant at Caravel. I always like to see who ends up coaching.
By the way, the 1993 Division I championship between Salesianum and Seaford(!) was played at Caesar Rodney in a driving rainstorm. But snow is much cooler.
J.T. Laws was all over the field in that game.
Joe Wright is a great dude, heard he has put his name in the hat for the St. Elizabeth's HC job.

Being from South Jersey, we played our HS final at giants stadium... no one cared, the townspeople and kids were excited as hell to play there... the old turf was awful, but ppl in DE shouldn't complain about playing at UD, its the best spot for it.
A high school facility will never again be equipped to accommodate a DI game. Not hanging around for the DII game but my belief is that crowd will be much leaner but still too much for a high school facility.

As a DSU alum (and someone who covered Middletown's win over Newark in the DI title game a few years ago at Alumni Stadium), let's just say UD is definitely the best spot for the football championships from a seating and available bathrooms standpoint.
UD has long had the best available facilities across all sports and until UD football becomes a contender again, that's where the games should be. It's a long drive for downstate teams, but after tonight, I can guarantee you those Woodbridge kids are having the best two hour ride of their lives.

It never went anywhere because UD would have a FIT if DSU ever caught up to or surpassed them in terms of facilities. The budget disparity also makes it pretty much impossible - UD gets over 100 million from the state each year while DSU is lucky to get 25-30 million.
As a fat dude and someone who used to have to cover football championship games before leaving journalism, let's just say that unless they put an elevator to the press box in recently, UD sucks.
I didn't know you left, I was looking for you all fall long. Guess I can stop now and yeah, those steps aren't kind to us husky fellas.
