Although I don't think it's the field staff's fault for the program not being finished until so late in the season. I am speculating that when you have Jeff Sacktig designing for BOTH Cadets corps at the same time that one of them is going to take a back seat. Maybe the Program Coordinator didn't communicate well enough with Jeff. There are lots of reasons why the delay in finishing could have happened.
I saw Cadets2 in Hornell. They aren't going to be catching any of the current top 5. I'm sure the instructional staff there is great but so is Cabs, Hurcs and DEFINITELY Empire. They aren't THAT good. They are better than what they started with in Clifton but are we comparing them to the other corps or the progress they are making.
At best they finish 7th this year.
Next year is a different story.
