I have no affiliation with Curtis whatsoever, but all the butthurt they generate in these kinds of threads is starting to make me a fan of theirs.


I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of their stance. It's like Boise State being invited to join the Pac 10 and turning it down because their women's basketball team team isn't very good.

You have no clue what you are talking about. I've worked with kids who have played football, basketball, basetball, volleyball, track, and softball at Curtis. They are good kids, but the reason they win is they OUTWORK everybody. Football practices for 5 hours on mondays and there isn't a single dull moment. Every team gets reps, nobody is idle, and they reinforce the team concept.

Now that being said, the school has a large vested interest in football, but JT wouldn't throw the other half of his school to the dogs when he can still play up to a competitive division for football and keep the other sports on a level field. I would love for you to tell me how Evangel did in 5a outside of football. I'm sure those kids felt great knowing they could never have the resources to compete in 5a but had to for football.

BTW, according to Ken Ramsey this is Evangel in 5A for non football:

No Playoffs:
2001 Girls Basketball
2001 Boys Basketball
2001 Girls Softball
2002 Girls Basketball
2002 Girls Softball
2003 Girls Basketball
2003 Boys Basketball
2003 Girls Softball
2004 Girls Basketball
2004 Boys Basketball
2004 Girls Softball
2005 Girls Basketball
2005 Boys Basketball
2005 Girls Softball

First Round:
2004 Baseball

Second Round:
2002 Boys Basketball
2002 Boys Baseball
2003 Boys Baseball
2005 Boys Baseball

Quarterfinals:
2001 Boys Baseball

Then amazingly when they played their proper division every single team made the playoffs that year. Thats the thing, unlike Evangel, JT cares that the rest of the school get to enjoy their athletic career. Sorry some of you guys get upset that school like Curtis could actually want to see all their programs succeed and the kids enjoy their time at a school. It seems like some of the posters here are the only ones who think that Curtis is a win at all costs school. Why don't you go to a practice. It may change your mind.
