2) A little late in cycle for Poly to be bowing out . A major inconvenience for all schools on their schedule, but especially for league foes . They petition to get into 4 team league (Gold Coast) , then leave other teams holding the bag .
A lot has changed at Poly the last three years with the departure of HC Schmoke and AD .
Old Man Gossard loved the game, he was a coach’s coach. Offense, defense didn’t matter, he knew the game and had lots of success coaching it. Condolences to the family.
