GO WOLVES!

These quotes are from the letter written by an assistant principal at Galaxy Middle School . If a public school official is going to submit something to be released in the newspaper, PLEASE have someone proofread it.

"That means they have an overall academic averages of 98 percent or higher"

"the team will have the once-in-a-lifetime chance opportunity to advance"

"this committed group of boys have continued to play with their hearts on the field and advance in their playoff season"

Hun, read the article. You think it's cheap staying at a Disney for a week? Instead of being negative, why not focus on the positives that this team is bringing to this community. Now sit back in your recliner and drink your warm milk, old man.

Congratulations to the boys for making it this far and for all of the coaches and parents that helped.

$750 per person to play a footbal game 45 minutes away? That is absurd and I would question where all of that money is going.

I hope the head coach doesn't get in trouble for using his Volusia County School e-mail to raise money for another organization and I hope he's not repsonding to those e-mails during his normal work hours...

As a player for the team we the players might not have this oppotunity when we go to high school and i am one of the players that lost a parent and my team supported me in my time of need now in our time of need we need some money to go to the national championship and bring home to WEST VOLUSIA a national title from your own West Volusia Wolves

Milo and the citizens of Deltona, Orange City, and Debary,

I won't even humor you by saying your supposed last name Milo. This is a very happy and wonderful time for more than just these 22 kids, their parents, and 9 coaches. These kids are representing their families, this community, and themselves and have done it with integrity and class.

I'm incredibly amazed at Mr. Milo's negative statements; however, after perusing them it's quite evident at the ignorance at which they were derived. I won't waste time in rebutting all your statements as it takes away from the positives.

I will defend Coach Robinson in the fact that this is one of those situations that no one can logically plan for. The chance that this team would make it this far is less than(as said prior) .002%. If pop warner organizations or any organization added this cost to registration, then many of those organizations would never exist. Furthermore, I personally thank Mr. Robinson for having the initiative to ask for outside help. Saying the taxpayers of Deltona would suffer the consequences of helping the only team in this area to ever make it to the national championships is insane. It doesn't take a biochemistry degree to understand what positive effects organized sports has on our youth.

Based on 2011 reports, there are over 115,000 households in Deltona, Orange City, and Debary. We need $16,500 to help fund the cost of sending these 22 kids to Disney. That doesn't come close to covering all the intangible expenses that the families will wind up incurring. I don't find it absurd to ask for 15 cents from every resident in this area to help kids in this area represent us after performing an unimaginable feat. Yes, a modest dime and nickel from every resident is all it would take. If that would hurt the taxpayers in this area, then you are unfortunately correct Milo; however, I think you are 100% wrong.

For the record, I am a parent of one of the kids on this team and I am fortunate that I can pay for my child. Unfortunately, some of these kids aren't so fortunate.

I will say this our kids have worked very hard this year striving to the best and nothing less. It's a shame that Deltona High School is not helping out.

I PROMISE WE WILL MAKE IT !!!

To Milo. It is obvious by your ignorant statements that you know nothing about the Pop Warner Organization, Team sports OR Coach Cameron Robinson.

Pop Warner offers organized sports for kids across the nation and sponsors children year after year that cannot afford to play. They are a non-profit organization, but someone has to pay for the fields, uniforms, helmets, etc.

Team sports teach children that they are a part of something bigger than themselves. They learn that every position has a responsiblity and if they do their job, the team is successful. They learn how their successes,failures, attitude and ability to maintain focus effect others. They learn sacrifice and how to alter their techniques based on coaching and feedback. This is forever engrained in them. It is for these very same reasons that Colleges create sororities and why the Military has bootcamp. Many of these same attributes are needed to become a productive member of society or a Corporation.

Coach Cameron Robinson is more than a coach to these children. Lack of planning and begging are not words that I would use to reference him. First, Volusia County has NEVER had a team that made it to the Nationals. You don't win the SouthEastern Regional Championship without a plan. Secondly, he has created a second "Wolves" family for these children. Cameron Robinson and his wife have helped two of the children through the loss of a parent, they were at the hospital daily, showing support, they rallied the entire team to attend funerals, created food drives for the families, they check on multiple children's grades and behavior in school as well. They have donated countless hours of community service and paid for team jerseys and shirts out of their own pockets.

As far as the kids appreciating the value of a dollar. We have held car washes, bake sales, yard sales, helmet drops, etc. These kids are doing more than enough to obtain the money on their own. My son is an All-American Scholar. He receives straight A's in school. He often stays up late night to get his homework done after football practice because he KNOWS the meaning of hard work and responsibility.

While I do value your First Amendment right to free speech, these comments should be limited to productive thoughts. Comments meant solely for malicious purposes should be withheld.

To Mr. Balzak(nice alias,lol) please do your research before you slander coaches or organizations. There is a 0.002% chance a team makes it to the Pop Warner Super Bowl! 2 one thousandths of a percent! I would like to see how you plan on something that there's that kind of percentage of happening! These kids do work hard. It's just not feasible to raise that kind of money in a week's time! Although the beginning of your post I tend to agree with...

Pop Warner is a amazing program for young boys and girls. It teaches them responsibility , loyalty and it gives them something to do instead of sitting at home on the computer or video games and keeps them out trouble. If it wasn't for pop Warner my son would not be playing Division one football and getting a free education. His future is set. Coach Robinson is doing an amazing job with those boys. He volunteering his time and his talent as a coach for all those young men. Not every family can afford extras as Pop Warner does scholarship some of these kids just so they can be part of the team. Unless you have researched the program and have gotten to know the coaches or the kids, your opinion does not matter. What matters is that the kids get the most out of life and get to experience all the important things to them and we as parents help them successed. Your going to tell a 10 old boy he has to earn his money or he can't play? I wouldn't call asking for help so that all the kids experience the same and no one is left out , begging. I call it caring about the kids. Good job Coach Robinson and all the parents. Those boys will never for get the year they were winners! : )

Disney does not care about the "Wolves". If they did, they would offer the team complimentary accomidations. Disney is about maximizing profits for their share-holders.

Who is Pop Warner anyway? Want the kids to appreciate the value of the dollar and how quickly it is eroding, let them go out and work for it. It is then they will understand their future enslavement as their parents have endured. Football makes owners wealthy and leaves the majority of players poor and lacking real-life skills to support themselves.

Because of Cameron Robinson's lack of planning, he has come begging for funds. If the taxpaying citizens of Deltona lacked those basic planning skills, they would suffer the consequences. Teach the kids a life lesson, football is A Game.
