Peacock recruits the Sarasota county area lets be real here, as there were several members of the Venice football team this year that played at other Sarasota County High Schools prior to coming to Venice. Yeah the woman from Venice actions showed her as a bit a sore loser more than anything else.........her sentiments however were simply echoing what Peacock was already saying to the media immediately after the game. So I would say its probably a pretty safe assumption to say, that there was talk among the Venice coaching staff during the week leading up to the game that trickled through players and/or parents.
When you play STA you know before the game starts what awaits, its like playing a computer game at its most difficult level. More times than not the game is going to beat you convincingly, but every now and then you do find a way to pull one out despite the stacked deck. Manatee's played STA fewer than 10 times, taken them to OT and beat them once.........every other contest however STA left no doubt on who the better team was. I was fortunate enough to be at that one game Manatee won, and I have to admit it was emotionally like winning a state championship!
I was talking to my manager a week or two about some challenges that the Postal Service faces in general in the future. I spoke specifically about a number of things, but when I concluded my remarks I closed by simply saying this..............When you promoted me I told you then I'm a very competitive person..........tell me most don't want any part of a particular job or project and I'll tell you without hesitation give it to me.........I'll embrace the challenge!
That to me is the only way to approach a situation like what exist at STA.........
Go Canes Go!
