Here's Suny crusade

 

Because he has nothing better to do 

@Back2Buff

 

Dude he literally follows all my posts and just gives them thumbs down

 

what's wrong with Bennett high School being good for the City of Buffalo .. and getting kids into college

 

He's been doing this for a year

 

He's angry because he's not allowed to post in the UB thread anymore

I don’t know anything about the Bennett head coach or the School superintendent. But i saw the Onondaga Sherrif body cam video, and that was flat out embarrassing for Bennett (and for Buffalo as they are representing the city). Act like leaders and professionals for goodness sakes.

Listen that certainly was not a good moment for the city

 

But McDuffie is changing young children's lives... Children who thought they had no escape out of the inner city..  are now going to college on scholarships

 

It all sparked during a timeout, when Bennett huddled up on the field with coaches , and were given a penalty

 

Christian Brothers was huddled up with their coaches also and did not receive a penalty

 

That made the superintendent mad who ran out onto the field...

 

Yes not a good look

 

But he's the best coach in Western New York and he is taking kids from the inner city and giving them hope... Even keeping these kids to graduate high school is a achievement

Had to look up the story.  That's  a really bad look for the coach and especially the superintendent.

 

I ref hs sports and did the state quarters last year.  The article has the rule right a out protests needing to be on the spot and for misapplication of rules only.  

 

Teams reflect coaches and those 2 running on the field is poor leadership Imo.  Hopefully it's a humbling learning experience but the quotes in the article do not paint him in a great light.

Sure it's not a good moment

 

But when you look at the graduation rates for Buffalo public high schools... Then look what McDuffie has done with his students over the last decade

 

 

Graduating his football players above an expected rate... Getting them into division 1 colleges

 

And competing with Lancaster and orchard Park which nobody in section 6 said was possible...

 

He's changing children's lives..  nobody else in section 6 has changed as many children's lives as he has

 

Bennett is one of the best Cinderella stories in the country.... What he has done over the last decade is unprecedented around the country

 

And he has been recognized around America for what he has done for the inner city of Buffalo as a football Coach and mentor

 

You can't hate on a man who's changed children's lives...  And has done what people said was impossible in Western New York

 

Building an inner city school into a section 6 powerhouse

Congratulations to Christian Brothers for winning the AA state championship

 

There were some here who said it was unfair that Bennett got to choose from a large selection of city kids... Yet nobody mentions Christian Brothers is a private School playing in public ball

 

Congratulations , they certainly were the best team in New York AA this year

I didn’t do anything against the rules.
 

I am allowed to disagree with you. Especially when you make the claim that the football coach of Bennett/Olmsted/Middle Early/East high school has “done more for Western NY” than anyone in history

 

you have some growing up to do, grown men can disagree

Of course you can and I have been very cordial to you 

 

Even saying you can post anything of worth in the UB thread and you are very much welcome to share 

 

And I never said he has done more than anyone in WNY history... I said he is the premier coach in Buffalo and is changing kids lives 

 

The city has some of the worst graduation rates In the country... And he has 50 players graduating above rate
