I might point out that not once did a post in this topic get nasty until Dan came in and attacked me and pretty much anyone that has ever posted here. Take a look at the posts from people that are here all the time, then take a look at the posts from the people defending Dan. Just who is being rude?
And I did not have my facts wrong, I know what I know, some might have different info, or a different opinion, and thats fine. Lets take a look back at my posts on this subject, my only concern was for the kids left behind, will they be able to come together as a team when they need to. If some thought I was ripping the child, I am sorry, that was not my intention, not sorry for anything said about the father. My post said nothing about Dan Fredrickson, I was in shock when I read his post in response to mine. I have nothing against Dan, I have a feeling though that this has a little more to do with other things than it does my post.
It does always amaze me though the number of people that can come in here, and with a straight face, call people names and critisize their posts, all at the sametime they are doing the samething they are complaining about.
And by the way, this topic would have ended long ago had Dan and his friends not pushed it to this point.
I am not hiding behind my nickname, you people in Glenville know who I am, most of the people here know, I have used my real name a number of times.
To all the regulars in this forum, you see how someone gets treated by this group from Glenville just because you have a different view or opinion? Thats why that community is looking at the slow death of its schools, because you dont disagree with certain people in Glenville and get away with it. They treated people from Emmons and who ever disagreed with them about what school to close the same way they treated people when they came in here. You see, look at their posts, I am the one that is supposed to be saying all the time that I know everything, but how many times do they say that the have the facts right, I am wrong. But just like the school closing, this has turned into much more than it should have, something that was supposed to be out of concern for the kids has turned into adults fighting.
Does anyone else here wonder what the hell the the big deal is here? I have my opinion, they have theirs, doesnt mean I am right, doesnt mean they are right. Some people just dont understand the concept of an opinion forum.

UMMMMMMMMMM, I thought the topic here was our star athlete Ben Woodside, shall we get back to the topic at hand, or create a Glenville topic? Sounds alittle too heated in here  Lets not throw out innuendos and rumored items in regards to coaching, it isn't an easy job. Believe it or not, I have helped coach a team. I know that it is tough to coach vs. parents and it is equally as tough to be a parent at the games. So lets give each other alittle slack, guys. Return to your corners and lets make this a clean fight :cool:

Advocate- You must have a problem understanding what you read- I am nor defending Hoosier, He can take care of himself. Go back and read my post and see if you can get it this time, but in case you don't I will say it again, Hoosier made a post that D.F. had an issue with NO PROBLEM, D.F. posted his responce to Hoosier NO PROBLEM with that either, The whole thing went South when D.F. could not shut his mouth and chose to ridicule all the rest of the people who post on this forum. Now tell Me who in the Hell I am defending! Take your own advice and move on.

Oh my, this is the better than reruns of Whose Line!! I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Everybody needs to "really" read what you've written on here. The only one that truely makes any sense at all is coach Dan. Hopefully, by the time my children reach school age, Dan will still be coaching. I would personally drive them the 20 miles to go to Glenville!! Anyone who would stand up for my kids the way I would is OK with me.

Hoosier, FACT: Glenville/ Emmons recieved the top score of 5 by the States mew star grading system. along with New Richland and Alden/Conger. The BIG dogs score mediocre. FACT: G/E standardized test scores are excellent. FACT: AL ACT composite scores have not even met State averages for the past 10 years (haven't checked further). This speaks volumes about the quality of education kids are receiving in the small school districts. These small schools need not worry-- the testing is here to stay like it or not! And because of it these districts, including Glenville will become magnet districts. Where other schools are failing, Glenville will succeed. You made a wise choice in open enrolling your kid to such an academically excellent district. But no, you people from Emmons need to quick reacting on emotion and look at the facts. Many combined districts to not have a school in each town but the school flourishes. WHY? Remember, schools are reflective of their communities. Hoosier, you just like reading what you write don't you? Or is it the reactions that trip your trigger? Write about something you know something about and leave the educated topics to the big boys!

To new. Just a note about the new 5 star rating system now in place in Minnesota. You are so very right when you say Glenville/Emmons had a 5 star school. This feat was accomplished by just a handful of schools across Minnesota. Glenville/Emmons is indeed at the top in its' Standarized testing outcomes. It is a little district but does things right academically. Alden/Conger, USC and NRHEG also did exceptionally well in the Star system rating which compliments their testing outcomes in other standarized tests. It has indeed been interesting to me that some Glenville students open enrolled to larger less successful districts. I guess I wondered why? I know Glenville/Emmons had a falling out but those Glenville/Emmons kids are now enrolled in a school that has not had the testing successes that the smaller schools had. If the goal is education and you want the very best for your child available, why would you not investigate fully before you would enroll your child in a less rigorous program? Hoosier you made a good decision in open enrolling your child in the Glenville/Emmons district.

We are so far off any subject!! We have talked about Ben Woodside, if kids should or should not be moved up in athletics, the coaching styles of Dan Fredrickson and now we are on to the star rating system in Minnesota and how awesome Glenville Emmons school district is. Let's close this one and start a new with whatever topic you would like. Because this is getting confusing.

Some of you people remind me of why we need to allow natural selection play its intended role. Through the expansion of medicine, legal systems, and technology, the human race -- unlike any other species -- has done away with nature's way of weeding out the idiots.
For what it is worth . . . Woody is a great basketball player. What is interesting is that he would be an even better hockey player. When he was young, he dominated his age group on the ice. He was a star in the making, but then he switched to basketball. It was a big loss to the hockey program, but we wish him well in hoops.
FYI - Tyler Young was also a very good hockey player when he was younger. Like Ben, Tyler switched sports somewhere around 11 or 12 years old. That is fine though -- kids should play (or do) whatever they want. At that age, the key is just to have them interested in activities other than sitting in front of a TV (or a computer).

I cannot find the previous topic on him/AL basketball, so I am posting a new topic. (Moderators: feel free to move this to the other topic if it still exists)
Someone asked if it is worth the price of admission to go see him play. I say yes, for a few reasons.
For 1 - it answers the question on this board of "What is their to do in this town?" I went to the game versus Roch. Century, and the crowd was very healthy in size.
For 2 - As the local paper loves to state, he is going to D-I, so it is a good chance to see a local 'hero.' He holds the record for most points in a career for an AL basketball player, so -based on these facts- he must be pretty good.
For 3 - Coach Addington has the boys playing a style that is fun for the audience to watch. I do not think I saw more than 4 offensive plays the whole night, but it was enjoyable. The team plays aggressive D, and looks to get out and run. The style is up tempo, and is run well.
For 4 - He is a good player - relatively speaking. He does need to work harder on D, and on improving conditioning (he appears to float at times) as well as improve his jumper, but he has a very quick first step. He appears to be able to drive by defenders at will. He is a very solid ball-handler and has a flair for making fancy passes.
For 5 - This is not a one-dimension team: the other Tigers are also good players. Thorn is very solid all-around and does the little things well - if he had another 4-5 inches or so, he could play at the next level. Habben is a big body who knows how to play. Moore is a very good compliment to Woodside - he is a sound shooter and can run the point, giving Woodside a break. Skophammer should be really good by his senior year. Behrends seems to continually put up good numbers, and will attack the hoop strong at times. Keyeski (sp?) has the chance to develop into a very good high school guard by his senior year. And there are many others whose names I cannot remember right now who know what role they have and play well as a team.
(side-bar) The 9th grader (Dieser) playing JV, could play Varsity this year if he is needed. He appears to be a total package player and is head-and-shoulders above his level of competition. Hopefully he continues to improve and does not take his talent for granted. [The JV team plays well, for JV level, and is worth showing up early to see.]
For a schedule, I would assume that it is on the Albert Lea High School Website. Probably located under sports. I have not looked there, but I presume it would be there.
I hope that answers some of the questions I remembered from the other thread.
