Any news? Rumors coaching staff changes etc.... Post here

Fun, random fact: Today is the 10th anniversary to the date of when the best WB team ever took off the pads for the last time.

In the 10 seasons following 2007, WB has won just 24 games combined. which comes out to an average of 2.4 wins per year.

Historically, WB's truly competitive teams appear after long droughts, so we have to savor the "special" seasons when they come around. 1991, 1999, and 2007 are the only teams (in my opinion) to fit that criteria. The previous trend was 8 seasons between each great team, but we're still waiting on the next one. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.

Until then, I'll be re-watching the 2007 highlight video and supporting our excellent softball and girls basketball teams. Go Govs!!

Well I guess the Word of the Day must have hurt someone's feelings for it to be deleted from Coach T lately. You can hide from the truth but you can't hide from the record written in stone 2-9,  2-9 and 1-9.

At this point, it is a little disrespectful to the kids. Say what you want about Shad and the admin, but posting it on here everyday isn't fair to the 14-18 year olds who play, and have to read that stuff on Coacht.

Well, since CoachT got rid of Barney’s Word if the Day, maybe he can make $had disappear too....

WB only lost 7 seniors from this year's team and the team had lots of good young talent including a freshman QB who had a really strong finish to an otherwise disappointing season. And I believe the JV team finished 6-2 on the year, and we have another good middle school class coming up to join the ranks. 

There are a lot of reasons to believe one of those good seasons will be coming soon. It just has to happen. Its been a freaking decade.

All Region ... you might want to add on the boy's basketball team to your list of teams  you're going to support.  Best squad we've had in a few years.  Very exciting to watch this yea!

That's even better news!! I love *ALL* Govs teams, so I should have phrased that more accurately. There literally isn't a better man than Kevin Windle in HS sports. Last year's team was good and I thought they had the potential to make a nice tourney run. I'm glad that this year's squad has the same chance. Also, it doesn't get much publicity...but the WB girls wrestling team is great and could seriously contend for WB's first team state title.

I have a question about William Blount HS football team? 

 

Does the Maheia, Sugden, Burkhardt, Blocker kids still play? I would think they would be juniors or seniors this last year. Do they still play? How have their careers been?

 

Thanks.
