It takes a Central fan to put it all in perspective. Great post you OLD HORSE...... I agree totaly..... I think it will take more then just reaping the fruits of the previous staffs hard work and dedication to say that we have turn the corner or are headed in the right direction. The proving ground is just ahead for coach Satterfeild and his staff. I just hope that he is given the time and support that will be needed just to determine if we are head in any dierection at all..... So to answer the question that was ask to start this thread ......NO I'm not satisfied with this past years proformance. I feel WE as a community underacheived our potentcial, I'm afraid we will countinue to do so as long as we allow the selfish politics and agendas of a few to rule this county. We as a community made a statement this last election, and we must not soon forget that when the next election comes around just who the few were that put us in this place. It's time for the majoity to speak and if we do, it will be loud and clear.
I'm not just concerned with Sequoyah Football.... but Sequoyah athletics in general. No one has asked the question as to how coach Satterfeild will do as AD, and I'm not sure that any one really cares at the home office, but i do think it is time to start make them (the folk on Oak Grove Road) accountable for the product that our school system is turning out. Does anyone know how many schools are on academic probation in this county I can assure you that it is not just Sweetwater. Did any of you happen go to the Heritage Middle School basketball game and see all the banners that are hung in thier gym that represented all the sports offerd at that school. Thier was ten or twelve different ones, from cross country... to tennis, softball... to football, WHY can we not have that here. Heck we can't even get our grass mowed to look like anything.... our schools look more like you are driving up to a prison, rather then a institution for young pepoles education, and does anyone know what a weed eater is used for???? Yes I'm rambiling but i feel that it is time for the good people of Tellico, Sweetwater, Vonore, Madisonville, and all the small communities in between stand up for this great County and hold those people accountable for the decisions made that directly effect our young people.
