I have never stated that I truely believe that the STA coaches are bad mouthing Manhattan! My point was that if a 6A coach said that Manhattan choked by taking second place then what place did that coach's team get? Because if this said coach's team did not win then by his own rational didn't his team choke? I am not saying that it was a STA coach that said Manhattan choked. I am still not saying that, because like you pointed out blitzkreig that statement is coming from Richard. Which by the way he still hasn't responded even though I gave him my name.
My main point is that 2nd place is not choking, and anyone who believes otherwise needs to be realistic because it is extremely hard to win a state title much less repeat.
