So that's 90 days total, including weekends. That means that GW had to avg a game every other day in that stretch. Seems pretty tough to me. Think of all the games Mamk played and it was only 32, and that's with a run straight through to the state title. Even if you throw in their scrimmages it wouldn't be 40.

The team did not even come out of the dugout for the line-up after the game. This is reflective of the coach. Obviously he has no class and does not teach this to his players. Manny Ramirez, an alumni of GW, must feel the same way, because he does nothing to support his HS. I guess class does not count,though, in the real world of baseball because many of the GW players do go on to play pro ball. Such a shame that character no longer plays a role in the world of sports!

So the coach lied to USA today to get the high ranking? What a crock. I say Mamaroneck plays them tomorrow and we will see who is better. What a low life the GW coach must be, didnt Gw lose to Clarkstown South or North this year? What a joke. It is flat out impossible for them to play that many games, this is a good example of a moron coach doing anything in his power to get noticed.

I have heard this from a very reliable source that has known Steve Mandl (GW's Coach) for a very long time. Supposedly he'll do anything to stay in the national rankings. Check the PSAL website and you'll see nowhere near 48 games on their schedule. Regarding GW, what I have been told is that GW will count scrimmage games in their record—IF THEY WIN.

Hopefully he will take rehab very serious and use this as a new start . Giblin's ability has never been questioned, his work ethic has. He went to camp over weight and the management hasn't been too happy with him. Hearing about an arm injury to a young kid with such a tremendous upside is awful.

Seems kind of Impossible. Mamaroneck needs to get a game with them next year, I think Mamk would kill them. Giblin washed up? What kind of a jealous moron would write that? He is in the pro's, while you are at WCC and playing arc softball somewhere with your dopey friends. How was George Washington high able to play 48 games in 1 high school season?

Too much hype for big dumb kid. Maybe he'll use this time to finish his HS education. Giblin was washed up when Somers beat him last year. Too much hype for big dumb kid.
