I have also been told that Mr. Moser has questioned if he made the right decision to hire coach Summey.He thought it would bring the communities together.For the one who polices this at Sequoyah,would you please let him know it definitely was the right decision.Proof was in the parking lot of the high school yesterday.There was an even mix of Madisonville and Vonore folks at the tailgate party to welcome coach Gregory and his family to Sequoyah,talking with enthusiasm about the upcoming spring practice and season.It was great,and this is just the start!Again,I would like to invite the slow to believe and respond to get on board the train,it is picking up momentum,don't get left behind!

They were heatedly discussing the discipline(or lack thereof,I should say)of the youngster who threatened coach.I agree,it should take place in a more secluded place.I'm with you,the rules are already in place,end of discussion.If the names who have been mentioned to me as being involved,meaning teachers,I can't really say I am surprised.I would really,really,REALLY, like to know the names of the teachers who have a problem with students being woke up in their classrooms.Why and how are they allowed to sleep in class in the first place?Is it not possible to motivate these kids to learn? Granted,some won't,no matter what.Most need to be properly motivated.My teachers had no problem motivating me.Others,they had to work at.Is this too much to ask?After all,isn't that what they have been hired to do?Laziness will never motivate a kid to learn,and I believe teaching a kid to learn sometimes means changing the approach.I can tell you my daughter is much easier to motivate than my son.I have to use different methods with each.The kids at Sequoyah are not robots,and they will all respond if that is truly the desire of the teachers.Now, I am not degrading the teachers at all,because I believe the problem to be a very small percentage who just need to remember why they got in the profession to begin with.Coach Summey told me "I came here to make a difference." I say,let him do what he came to do!

We do need a community meeting to emphasize the fact we want the rules enforced,regardless who's kid needs the rules explained to them.Coach Summey is doing a great job(I say this because I hear a lot of complaining about rules being enforced)and we need to stand behind him.When a teacher or school employee is threatened with bodily injury,quick and decisive action is needed!Coach was threatened 3 times this morning by 1 student who then received only a 1 week suspension.What happens at the end of the week off,this student decides everyone is the enemy and brings a gun to school and randomly shoots several students?Think it won't happen,look at Virginia Tech.I have 2 kids out there and many more I love dearly.I want coach to lead the crackdown and everyone else to get on board from the principal on down through the teachers to the custodians and everyone else who works there!We are talking about a serious issue that has the possibility to turn deadly!If the principal and teachers do not feel this way,they need to get out of this line of work!Also,if he catches either of my kids sleeping in a class,I want him to wake them and have them call me to explain why this particular class is not important enough to stay awake for.This is an education facility,with employees of the tax payers of this county expected to educate the children in attendance.If that means they need an education in reality they don't receive at home,so be it.I can't go to my job every day,sleep through half the shift,and expect to keep my job very long.School is not for play,it is for learning,which must be worked at.In closing,I say "You go,Coach Summey!"

3 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since the Mayor lives next door to you,just go ahead if you want to.I had forgotten about that.That will be better than I can do anyway.Thanks.

I will talk to those I know and try to set it up for 5-12.

Anything on another roadblock in the works?Also,the equipment is handed out by class,seniors first,then juniors,and so on,right?Will practice start as soon as school lets out for the day?One other thing,is everything a go for coach Gregory this weekend?

Bunky VanSkyver from Greenback would have to be included,I would think.

Any idea of time frame on the 28th?Here's casting my vote(if I had one)for Mr. Lowry.

Am I to understand you are not coaching?What's the deal?

I got to go out after school yesterday to see the boys lifting and running.Man,you talk about working hard!They were really getting after it!Certainly was good to see the senior leadership on display.I believe these kids really want to be successful.If I didn't miscount,there was 45 kids there,some were 8th graders working out.Does anyone know how many are attending morning workouts?

Same from the Sequoyah communities.Coach was a good man who surely will be missed!

Thanks for confirming the Loudon scrimmage.I thought it had worked out but I wasn't sure.Thanks to all who worked Saturday.Improvements being made,teams in season are more competitive than ever,momentum is building at SEQUOYAH!Yes sir,the times they are a-changin' for the better!

I heard Loudon mentioned,but nothing definite yet,that I know of.

This is true.Playtime over,back to business.I will get you the receipt for the 2x4's so they can be picked up when you guys are ready.Still nothing on the sheetrock as of yet.Still trying.So long,I sure had a good time,bamadude.

Blah,blah,blah!Price for coacht+=$12.00.Price of a new car=thousands.Bamadude silent=PRICELESS!! /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

WOW!!!!

/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> At least I can read the playbook and even spell the words in it.Trust me,you don't want to play my team!I have no trouble keeping up with you,it's only elementary my dear watson.I've read your posts on the other threads.We won't get mad at you,we like humorous posters.It is so easy to be derogatory when you can hide.I bet all the little girls in elementary school slap you around,that's why you get on every thread posting the way you do.Go back to sleep,little one,it's just a bad dream.Those big football boys won't keep chasing you every time you close your eyes!You pretty much summed up your posts earlier,blah,blah,blah.

Aimless banter?HELLO,you can't even spell three letter words.Woops,sorry,forgot you were bamadude,no english taught in bama.

Oh well,so much for the real items of interest.The comedy routine has to start over again.The peace and quiet was nice for a day or two.I guess Meadows must already be tired of you."Work is done for now." /huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" />

Sounds like that was probably what you heard,manager.When you called Sid a sissy,was that the pot calling the kettle black?You started the smack,just remember.

40 2x4x8 studs waiting for pickup at Tate's Supply in Vonore when you are ready for them.Working on the sheet rock,will let you know when I do.

You don't consider Notre Dame a rival?We amy or may not beat Howard,we'll see on the field.I appreciate the good wishes,and certainly wish you guys the same.I am looking forward to the season and firmly believe you will see a different bunch on the field this time around.Good luck,good health,and God bless!

I like getting fresh information.SID is up to date,DL a day late.I do agree with SID,you are fun to play with,dl.Have you been by the practice field yet? Spring practice is just a couple weeks away. Start now,you might see the last couple days.Come on,dude,we're just messing with you.Don't get mad and chew up your pencil or anything.Tell us something we don't already know,on time,if you want to be considered to have the "down low" on anything.On a more serious note,you guys get what I'm talking about.My son is having a positive experience which all kids should have,and I'm tickled. It has not always been that way for my daughter,although softball has helped heal.I personally like the direction of the whole athletic program in general and football in particular. Folks are stepping up,and that is what it takes.Keep up the good work,stay persistent,and we will see results in facilities and success of our kids.And by the way,if I have never told you personally,THANKS to all who put in the extra effort!

I can tell you I have already seen a difference in my son.He is gaining weight(which he badly needs to do)and he seems very excited about what is going on.He works out in the evening and I have seen him apply himself more than ever before.Even if he never gets on the field,the program has already benefited him.He had to miss once,and you talk about aggravated at me and mom,was he ever.Keep up the good...GREAT...work guys,I certainly appreciate what you are doing.
