That’s a good question, and I apologize for not prefacing that quote with a more clear explanation.

Flossie feels that players in the City Series don’t get credit for the good things they do. He feels “Suburban” teams (unlike inner-city teams) get all the credit for having the best programs, best players, best coaches, best parents and best grades.

Therefore, Flossie made a sarcastic, exaggerated statement about comparing grade-point averages. He meant that if a City Series player has a 3.0 GPA, an advocate of a “Suburban” team will say their player has an 8.9 GPA in order to demonstrate some type of superiority.

Flossie is never afraid to voice his opinion, and I thought his statement was interesting. I hope this explanation clears things up.

Flossie went on to talk about the value of the City Series and how its underrated.

�I get sick and tired of hearing about the suburbs,� he said. �It enrages me. � We have a 3.0 student here and they have an 8.9 student there.�

Help me out here, fellas… what in the world is he talking about?

I haven’t met anyone in high school sports as interesting as longtime City Series coach Tim Flossie. He always tells you exactly what’s on his mind, and it’s usually delivered with a twist of Flossie humor. … The lasagna was good.

Well, how was the lasagna? Nothing interesting about the City Series.
