The region is not an excuse. It did not happen to Clarksville they went to the playoffs 2 of the 4 years they were in that region. I garauntee you the rick butler NE teams could have not only played in that region but won it. It is totally the administration not caring enough about the program. You have to have a coach and support him, get him what he needs to compete (equipment) and make sure he has coaches in the building walking the halls. That helps the kids more than anything because they will be in contact, trust and respect their coaches more on and off the field. It can be done they just need to gut the program, hire coaches to fill vacant teaching spots and give them rebuilding time. I know there will be teaching spots but the administration wont consider sports when hiring teachers. The bad thing is it will be Southerland and a bunch of parents and it will be that much longer to fix the problem.
