Very clearly posted by the 91 FOGO dad, whose son left FCA Blue after not getting reps last year as their #2 FOGO. Honestly, a very good move for the new 91 kid (gotta have reps), but I don't think you want to get too in the weeds with 91's stats my guy.

agree it's not cool to post your kids' stats and out yourself on BOTC - but the guy does have a good point that the FCA coaches were not only reprehensible to send out a concussed player to continue taking face offs, they were also extremely foolish to let the second fogo get away when they had two good ones on the roster. The 91 game proved that FCA has nobody capable of taking face offs at the elite level other than the player with the concussion. at this level a team should have two starting fogos plus a third as a backup who takes practice reps and is ready if needed. at least four of the seven teams in the HoCo elite division (not even counting money) have only one or fewer good fogos - FCA, 91, DCE, and Next Level. that is a major weakness on each of those teams if they expect to compete with top 25 national teams during HS, and worse, a safety issue if coaches are so desperate that they will lean on someone who is injured in a close game.
