Iknowsomething

Since the opening of Wilson Central High School I have attended many sporting events with the school. It amazes me to read the posts on this thread from WC07 and others not directly related to WC. It seems to me that many of the posts are a direct hit at Traye Aric. I guess WC07 was not around when the team went 0 and forever. I guess WC07 forgets the year that Traye Aric took over as Head Coach --Coach Alexander had just left to go coach at Cumberland University. Do you think Alexander left because he knew that the group of seniors that he had returning were not strong or talented enough to carry the team and did not want to have a losing season after making playoffs several times? Do you think the unsupportive parents in 07 and the unsupportive parents in 09 have anything to do with the attitude on the field---or do you think that they may be the exact same parents, HMMMMMMM? I have been to the games this season and am amazed at how unsupportive the parents are of the team. I overhear many parents cheering for their child but not for the team. I find that interesting--great sportsmanship. I don't necessarily agree with all that I see the coaches at WC doing this year, last year, the year before that or even since the school opened. I didn't agree with Coach Alexander when he went to the playoffs and seemingly threw out the old playbook and opened another one for playoffs. Didn't work and he and his team were sent home early. However, unless you have cold hard facts as to why Traye Aric should be gone and how the problems over there can be solved maybe you should keep your own personal vendetta opinions to yourself. I feel sorry for the group of seniors and think they could use support on Friday nights along with the coaching staff.

No the position of HC at WC is not open and from what I hear it is not going to be open.

While Coach Elrod may be a good coach or may have been a good coach in his time, what you may not realize is that when Alexander and Elrod left they did not leave much behind at WC for the new coaching staff to work with. That same year they also lost Troy Crane. The team lacked senior leadership, the team had 5-6 new coaches and community support for the team was nonexistent. The same year that Wes Elrod returned so did Troy Crane. Maybe some of the credit lies with Troy Crane and not with Wes Elrod.

The coaching staff will produce next year just as they have the last two years. Coach Elrod was not the only coach at WC and the coaching staff that is still there does a great job with the boys (young men) on the team. The boys (young men) on the team have great respect for the present coaching staff. Things aren't always what they appear to be and maybe we don't know everything that was going on at WC with the team, players and coaches. Maybe we should let the present coaching staff do their job and wait to judge them. I doubt losing Coach Elrod will be a detriment to the team.
