Let me tell you something about football in Coffee Co. I am sick and tired of people from
Coffee County in this commmunity getting on here anddogging thier own football
team. Everyone in this community should be proud of these boys andhow they
played tonight. They have practiced for 2 weeks in 100 degree heat, we are
outmanned in many areas and these boys and coaches get out their and give it
thier all. First of all we can't even get a bus tonight on time to go to the game!!!
We had to leave kids at the school because we didn't have abus, the athletic
director is out of town, the transportation director is out of town, and the director of
schools is out of town. Who in this town cares that our kids can't even get to
the game, the band is not required to show up, the cheerleaders half of them don't show
up because the places they work at in the community won't let them off work.
How pitiful is that. There was a time when this community cared about our student
atheletes. They got behind our football team and supported them in many ways.
Then we get on here and some sucker from Coffee County bashes our coaches after
a win, and our kids playing their hearts out. Tells our kids not to listen to their coaches.
If you are from Coffee County you should be proud that your hometown team is
finally being successful after many losing seasons. What happens we get
criticized. We can reward kids for everything under the sun but our football team
gets nothing. Unaircontioned, dirty buses, begging for people to support us so
that we can have the things we need. We can have a 91/2 percent sales tax, a
13 cent property tax, and we can't get what we need for our kids. Our kids played
a heck of a game tonight. Everyone in this community should be proud these
kids didn't give up, played tough, and won in double overtime! When is the last
time that happened, not with the previous coaching staff of 5 years ago.
